Toyin Hines journeys with clients using a psychodynamic approach, person-centered care, mindfulness-based practices, coaching, and alternative and integrative models (including trauma-informed yoga). She supports clients in identifying values, navigating life changes, exploring identity, resolving conflicts, determining boundaries, and healing anxiety, depression, and trauma.
