Hayden Dover

What clients take from their work with Hayden Dover is a clearer sense of who they are and a more deliberate way of moving through their closest relationships. Hayden is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Diego, California, working with individuals and couples who are ready to do more than manage symptoms — ready to understand the patterns beneath them. Whether someone arrives weighed down by anxiety, grief, or trauma, or simply aware that their relationship has drifted, his work creates room for that shift to happen at a level that lasts.

Hayden’s training in somatic counseling psychology shapes a practice that draws on the body and present-moment awareness as much as thought and language. For couples, that means learning to step out of cycles of disconnection — rebuilding trust, restoring intimacy, and finding steadier ways to communicate. He works with couples across a wide range of relationship structures, including LGBTQ+ and cross-cultural partnerships. He also supports individuals navigating domestic abuse, infidelity, loss, anger, and questions of identity — including, for parents, the particular strain of staying genuinely present with each other when devices quietly compete for every open moment at home.
