Reine Hewitt (She/they)

In working to improve and grow your self esteem my style is active, collaborative, and playful. My approach is relational and psychodynamic while rooted in compassion and mindful non-violent communication. We will work with the past and the present, the intergenerational, the cultural, and the global pressures that impact you daily. Using compassionate evidence-based care we will change and grow together.

Working through anxiety takes compassion and care. Using CFT, ACT and psychodynamic exploration we will collaboratively finds ways to alleviate the intensity and frequency of your anxieties and anxious reactions.

In couples counseling we will explore how patterns of connection, protection, and disconnection develop in relationships. Together, we look with care at how you learned to communicate, defend yourself, and seek closeness. This work supports greater honesty, accountability, and mutual respect, helping relationships feel more balanced, grounded, and emotionally alive.

ACT supports you in relating differently to difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. In our work, we gently notice patterns like avoidance or self-criticism, practice staying present, and clarify what matters most to you. The focus is on building flexibility, self-compassion, and a life that feels more aligned, even when things feel uncomfortable.

Mindful Nonviolent Communication invites a slower, more compassionate way of relating to yourself and others. In therapy, we gently notice thoughts, feelings, and body responses as they arise, creating space before reacting. By tuning into underlying needs and practicing clear, respectful expression, this approach supports greater emotional awareness, steadier communication, and deeper connection in relationships and within yourself.

I work with individuals and couples navigating communication challenges, conflict, emotional distance, and repeating relational patterns. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck between wanting closeness and protecting themselves. Together, we explore how these patterns formed, strengthen emotional awareness, and build clearer, more compassionate ways of relating. The work supports greater connection, mutual understanding, and relationships that feel more secure and authentic.
