About Hayat

I am a psychotherapist, executive coach, and consultant dedicated to transforming high-performing leaders in Fortune 50 companies and fast-growing tech startups in New York City. I help driven professionals break through mental barriers, heal from past trauma, and step into their highest potential—both personally and professionally.

As a psychotherapist, I guide individuals through deep and lasting healing using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Somatic Experiencing. I work with high-achieving professionals carrying the unseen weight of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. My expertise extends to recent and childhood trauma, chronic stress, and developmental wounds caused by family dysfunction, neglect, abuse, violence, or substance abuse. By confronting these deeply ingrained challenges, I empower my clients to reclaim control, resilience, and a renewed sense of self.

My executive coaching is transformational, results-driven, and future-focused. I help executives and entrepreneurs shatter blind spots, dismantle roadblocks, and eliminate unproductive patterns that hinder peak performance. Through personalized one-on-one coaching, I guide leaders in making bold, strategic pivots that drive lasting, high-impact change in their careers, leadership styles, and personal lives.

With over two decades as a dedicated mindfulness practitioner, I integrate meditation and evidence-based holistic techniques into my practice. I bring a powerful blend of intuition, empathy, and neuroscience-backed strategies to help leaders cultivate self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and a sustainable work-life balance. By harnessing mindfulness, my clients develop the clarity, focus, and resilience needed to lead with confidence, purpose, and authenticity.

Rooted in both business leadership and clinical expertise, my treatment philosophy is shaped by a dynamic career spanning over two decades in Fortune 50 companies and tech startups. I have led engineering, operations, and executive teams, honing a deep understanding of human resilience, performance, and transformation. My academic credentials further reinforce this perspective—I hold an MBA from Suffolk University, an MSSW in Clinical Psychotherapy from Columbia University, and advanced postgraduate training in Trauma Studies at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. Additionally, I specialize in Executive Coaching through New York University, equipping individuals with the tools to heal, lead, and thrive.
