WHO WE ARE

HykeLyfe was started in 2018 to further the mind/body connection for my clients and holistically treat the wellness need for each individual as best as possible. We offer both hiking therapy near the property and a beautiful, cozy, nature-inspired office so whether our clients are indoors or outdoors, they can feel natural peace.

We truly value a work/life balance here at Hykelyfe. We believe that happy, stress-free counselors do their best work and in order to give that to our clients, we provide a trusting, team-oriented, relaxed environment for our colleagues to thrive. We practice under a work-smarter model and have procedures in place to assist with this.

Our clients are mainly from the surrounding area, range in age (mostly teens and above), and are often coming in for individual therapy sessions, although we do sometimes get couples/families. Most of the struggles we see are mild to moderate in severity, we accept many different insurances, and have a structured payment procedure.
