Meet Dr. Eric Hayden
Dr. Eric Hayden is a licensed psychologist based in Fairlawn, Ohio, providing therapy for stress, anxiety and life changes. For over 25 years, he’s helped a diverse range of adults with a wide range of presenting concerns. His calm, steady and person-centered approach blends science-backed methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and biofeedback.
Dr. Hayden trained in the scientist-practitioner model during his PhD studies, learning how to connect rigorous research with therapy. Even now, he stays curious and active in his field —co-authoring research articles, keeping up with cutting edge approaches, and always looking for enriching ways to support the people he sits across from. Whether you meet him in Fairlawn or connect online anywhere in Ohio, his goal is to meet you where you are in your personal development, and use techniques that help you feel more grounded, think more clearly and flexibly, and feel more empowered.

A Personalized
Approach to Therapy
With a deep understanding and appreciation of how personality, identities, culture, and lifestyle influence one’s challenges, therapy at Hayden Psychology is highly personalized and holistic —not a one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. Hayden’s intention is simple: to understand what’s uniquely fueling your distress and empower you with customized methods to manage it.
Sessions are structured enough to provide direction, yet flexible enough to meet you where you are. They’re collaborative, focused on ways that can help you find balance and lasting progress.
