Hannah Hayden with Sapphire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe therapy is most effective when people feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. My approach blends evidence-based interventions with authenticity, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person's unique story. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, I help clients better understand themselves, challenge the patterns that keep them stuck, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether I'm working with clients, supervising clinicians, or speaking to other mental health professionals, my goal is the same: to foster authentic human connection as the foundation for healing.

Dr. Jennifer Yalof
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Are you attempting to manage feelings that have been building up over time? You may be living with anxiety and depression, generally feeling stuck, and/or are trying to manage the personalities of people around you. Perhaps you aren’t quite sure how to talk about what’s happening; but something doesn’t feel right—things just feel off. During times like this, talking to a professional can help. I work with young adults, parents, college and graduate students including international students. I have niche specialized experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees.

Chesapeake is the largest city in Virginia by land area — a mostly suburban and semi-rural community spread across the southern Hampton Roads region — with a therapy landscape shaped by its proximity to Naval Station Norfolk and the broader military community, as well as the particular stresses of a sprawling suburb where long commutes and limited walkable community can contribute to social isolation. The city's large African American population and its place within Hampton Roads' racially complex social fabric create demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Chesapeake Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside the broader Hampton Roads healthcare ecosystem. Many Chesapeake residents access therapy through the wider Norfolk-Virginia Beach metro, given the city's geographic extent and integration with the regional mental health network.
