About me
Navigating change can be challenging. Almost 20 years ago, I left my home in Chile and built a life in Berlin, adapting to a new culture and way of being. Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than a decade as an executive leader in the corporate world, learning firsthand about high-pressure environments, career transitions, and personal growth. These experiences shaped my deep understanding of identity, belonging, and the emotional ups and downs of change.
I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about their next step — whether they’re expats, professionals, or individuals facing relationship or personal challenges. Many of my clients seek to set boundaries, embrace their power, and live more authentically. I also support those struggling with emotional discomfort, helping them find balance and relief.
I offer therapy in Spanish, English, and German, creating a space where you can express yourself in the language that feels most natural.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
Psychedelic integration therapyRecommended for those who have had psychedelic experiences and want help understanding and integrating the insights into their everyday life for personal growth and self-discovery.
I offer a warm, empathetic, and supportive space where you can connect with your emotions, body sensations, thoughts, and beliefs — without judgment. Together, we’ll explore how past experiences shape your present, helping you build awareness, confidence, and self-trust. This process allows you to release what no longer serves you and move toward your goals.
My approach is integrative, humanistic, and rooted in Gestalt therapy. I bring the depth of my Latin American heritage — where emotions are embraced and relationships are built with warmth — along with my experience in the global corporate world. This holistic perspective helps me support clients navigating both personal struggles and professional challenges. I also offer plant medicine integration as part of the therapeutic process.
With a background in engineering and leadership, I understand the pressures of high-performance environments and what it takes to succeed. In addition to therapy, I offer business coaching to help clients navigate workplace challenges, career transitions, and personal development.
Beyond one-on-one sessions, I facilitate workshops and group sessions, providing spaces for connection, shared experiences, and deeper exploration. Visit my website for further information www.cristinahayden.com
You don’t have to do this alone. I’d be happy to support you on your journey.
