Modern life asks more of our relationships than ever before, yet few of us were ever taught how to communicate, navigate conflict, build intimacy, or stay emotionally connected. We spend years learning how to succeed at work, school, and life, but very little time learning the skills that create healthy relationships.
That’s the work Cyd Hatch feels deeply called to do.
Cyd is an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor (ACMHC) at WORTH IT Counseling + Consulting who earned her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. Before becoming a counselor, she spent more than 15 years working in public relations, marketing, and communications, helping individuals, organizations, and businesses better understand people, ask meaningful questions, and communicate with greater clarity. That experience continues to shape her clinical work today, where she is passionate about making psychology, relationships, and emotional health practical, approachable, and easy to understand.
She specializes in working with men, couples, and adults who want stronger relationships, healthier communication, deeper intimacy, and greater self-understanding. Whether someone is navigating marriage, modern dating, sexuality, faith transitions, divorce, or identity, Cyd believes relationships aren’t simply found; they’re built through skills that can be learned.
One area Cyd is especially passionate about is working with men. Many of the men she meets care deeply about their partners, families, and purpose but were never taught the emotional awareness, communication, or relationship skills that healthy connection requires. Her goal isn’t to change who they are. It’s to give them practical tools to become more confident communicators, more connected partners, and more emotionally grounded men.
Having personally experienced divorce, rebuilding, and significant life transitions, Cyd understands the complexity many LDS and non-LDS clients experience around relationships, identity, sexuality, expectations, faith, and belonging. Living and practicing in Utah, she creates space for both LDS and non-LDS experiences with respect, curiosity, and care. Her goal isn’t to tell clients what they should believe, but to help them live with greater honesty, alignment, and intention within their own values.
Her therapeutic approach is warm, relational, and practical. Drawing from attachment theory, person-centered therapy, somatic awareness, relationship science, and communication education, she helps clients understand not only what they’re doing, but why. She believes insight is important, but lasting change comes from developing new skills, practicing them consistently, and bringing them into everyday relationships.
Cyd is currently pursuing advanced training in EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Levels 1 & 2), somatic therapies, and AASECT-informed sex therapy as she works toward becoming a Certified Sex Therapist (CST). Her work is heavily influenced by relationship science, nervous system education, emotionally focused care, and the belief that healthier communication creates healthier marriages, stronger families, and more connected communities.
Beyond the counseling room, Cyd is passionate about addressing what she believes is one of the defining challenges of our generation: the growing crisis of human connection. As technology reshapes dating, friendship, marriage, sexuality, and community, she is committed to helping people build the emotional and relational skills that modern life rarely teaches. Through counseling, writing, speaking, and education, her mission is to make relationships feel less confusing and more intentional: for individuals, couples, families, and the communities they belong to.
Raised in the Virginia–Washington, D.C. area, Cyd describes herself as creative, emotionally curious, and a little artsy-eclectic in the best way. Outside the counseling room you’ll usually find her at a live concert, flipping through vinyl records, journaling, doodling, drinking matcha, watching the UFC, having long conversations with friends, or camping with her partner.
Her philosophy is simple: Relationships are a skill. And one of the greatest privileges of her work is helping people learn them. “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to love and be loved in return.”
