Welcome to Blue Hen Psychotherapy
At Blue Hen Psychotherapy, we offer a compassionate space for adults who feel weighed down by anxiety, self-doubt, or the lingering effects of a painful past. Whether you’re struggling to feel good enough, finding it hard to trust yourself, or feeling stuck in familiar patterns, you don’t have to face it alone.
As a therapist in Hamilton, we specialize in helping people untangle the emotional and relational patterns shaped by early life experiences, so you can better understand yourself, feel more grounded in who you are, and build a life that feels more connected and whole.
Therapy with us is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. We offer both in-person therapy in Hamilton, ON and virtual therapy for clients across Ontario.

Specializing in
Complex PTSD (sometimes called developmental trauma) isn’t about one big event. It’s about the slow, ongoing toll of not getting what you needed growing up: safety, emotional care, stability. Maybe you had to grow up too fast. Maybe you were always walking on eggshells. Maybe no one ever really saw you. Unfortunately, over time that kind of environment can leave lasting marks, not just on how you feel, but on how you see yourself and move through the world.
You might struggle with things that are hard to name, like always feeling “off", never good enough, or like you can’t fully relax. You might be caring, driven, and capable on the outside, while quietly feeling anxious, ashamed, or disconnected underneath.
Common signs of complex trauma can include:
-
Low self-worth – feeling like you’re always falling short or need to earn your place.
-
People-pleasing or perfectionism – keeping others happy to avoid conflict or rejection.
-
Emotional overwhelm or shutdown – swinging between feeling too much and feeling nothing at all.
-
Chronic tension or hypervigilance – even when nothing’s wrong, your body feels on alert.
-
Difficulty with trust or closeness – keeping people at a distance or bracing for the worst.
-
Shame, guilt, or self-blame – carrying stories about yourself that were never really yours.
None of this means you’re broken. These are the strategies that helped you survive and you’ve already shown resilience just by getting this far.
Does any of this resonate with you?
Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of where these patterns come from, and start reconnecting with your own sense of safety and worth. You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. Healing is possible, and you’re allowed to take up space in that process.
