Radicle: the first part of a seedling to emerge, the radicle is the embryonic root of a plant that develops into the root system and is responsible for the plant’s growth and wellbeing.

Hi, my name is Dr. Xander Hayden and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Psychologist Resident.

I tend to work with individuals who are in a state of transition. This can take many forms- gender transition, life transition, death, divorce, aging, a new physical health diagnosis, or perhaps a profound shift in conscious awareness.

I like to get at the root of things and appreciate deep, identity-based work that is contingent on a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship in which respect and autonomy are the foundation of our connection.
