Hayden Gorr-Diaz (he/they)

LCSW
Accepting Clients

Hi! I'm Hayden. I'm a Queer, Trans, trauma-informed therapist. EMDR Trained.

Psychotherapist in Evanston, IL
Supervised by Jake Hogan, LCSW

About My Clients

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+, Trans+, and questioning clients utilizing evidence-based practices. Before therapy, I worked in advertising for 8 years. My life and education shape a straightforward, compassionate, curious, and humorous approach. I view each session as a learning experience, embracing the role of a healer and lifelong learner.

My Background and Approach

I offer a collaborative approach to help clients feel more centered, heard, and fulfilled. As a queer, transmasc clinician, I ground their practice in intersectionality and identity, acknowledging that each individual is the expert of their own life experience. I utilize a client-centered, strength-based approach to support adults and adolescents.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, or unsure how to make a change in life is a common experience. It’s normal to feel intimidated, especially if past therapy experiences were difficult or if you are new to the process. I will work with you to help you to make the best decision for yourself. My therapeutic methods are diverse, integrating behavioral-based practices, narrative therapy, queer theory, solution-focused, and psychoeducational techniques. I have expertise in working with adults and teens navigating issues related to gender, sexuality, identity, job/school stress, and major life changes. I am an EMDR-trained therapist.
