About the Practice

  • Dr. Hamed approaches spirituality as one potential dimension of psychological wellness, alongside identity, relationships, meaning, authenticity, emotional experience, and personal growth. Spiritual or intuitive approaches are incorporated within clearly defined psychological services when appropriate and with informed consent.

  • Dr. Hamed’s work is informed by several complementary psychological perspectives, including Existential-Humanistic Psychology, Transpersonal Psychology, Constructivist theory, Energy Psychology, Mind-Body Medicine, and Polyvagal Theory. Together, these perspectives recognize the importance of meaning, identity, personal experience, the mind-body connection, nervous system regulation, and the ways individuals understand and construct their experience.

    Rather than applying a single theoretical model to every person, Dr. Hamed draws from these perspectives to support greater self-awareness, psychological flexibility, authenticity, and intentional growth.

  • For some people, questions of meaning, purpose, authenticity, connection, and spirituality are deeply connected to psychological well-being. Dr. Hamed’s work provides space to explore these dimensions without requiring a particular belief system.

  • This integrative approach combines psychological reflection, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Reiki, and Akashic insight to support emotional processing, nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and personal growth. Together, these modalities help illuminate underlying patterns while creating space for healing, clarity, and intentional change.

  • In addition to informed consent, any service that integrates the Akashic Records also requires what Dr. Hamed refers to as soul-level consent. Before accessing the Records, Dr. Hamed connects energetically to determine whether she receives clear permission to proceed with the work.

    Occasionally, Dr. Hamed does not receive approval to access the Records, even when a person consciously wishes to move forward with the service. When this occurs, she is unable to ethically access or provide Akashic information. While the reason may not always be fully understood, it is approached with respect for timing, readiness, and the individual healing process.

    A lack of soul-level consent does not mean something is “wrong,” nor does it prevent the individual from working with Dr. Hamed through other supportive services. If Dr. Hamed does not receive permission to proceed with the Akashic Records component, the session will not take place and a full refund will be issued.

Psychology and Spirituality

  • Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is an evidence-informed approach that helps individuals work with thoughts, emotions, beliefs, memories, and physical sensations while using gentle stimulation of specific acupressure points to support emotional processing and nervous system regulation. Dr. Hamed may use EFT to support emotional processing, self-awareness, regulation, and exploration within selected psychological wellness services.

  • Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy practice originating in Japan that is based on the concept of supporting balance within the body’s energetic system. It may promote a sense of relaxation, connection, and greater awareness of one’s emotional and energetic state.

    Within Dr. Hamed’s psychological wellness services, Reiki may be incorporated alongside psychological reflection and other approaches to support nervous system regulation, self-awareness, emotional processing, and energetic balance. It is used as one component of a broader psychological wellness framework rather than a standalone service.

  • The Akashic Records are often described as an energetic archive of the soul’s experiences, patterns, and potential for growth. In sessions, the Records are used as a reflective and intuitive tool for insight, self-discovery, and deeper understanding.

    Dr. Hamed uses information intuitively accessed through the Akashic Records as a source of reflection, self-discovery, and meaning-making within selected psychological wellness services. Akashic information is not presented as psychological assessment, diagnosis, prediction, or objective fact.

  • The Akashic Records can offer insight into patterns, relationships, beliefs, past experiences, and other influences that may be relevant to a client’s present circumstances. As a psychologist, Dr. Hamed approaches intuitive information through a practical lens, focusing on insights that can help clients gain clarity, deepen self-understanding, and make more intentional choices.

    Dr. Hamed’s work in the Records is not focused on predicting the future. The future is understood as something that continues to unfold through an individual’s choices, actions, and energy rather than as a fixed outcome waiting to be revealed. By bringing greater perspective to the past and present, Akashic insight can help clients move forward with greater clarity and confidence as they actively shape what comes next.

  • You do not need to accept Akashic information as objective truth. Clients are encouraged to approach what emerges with curiosity and discernment, considering it alongside their own experiences, values, and psychological understanding.

Psychological Wellness Services

  • Soul-Level Parenting Consultation is a focused psychological consultation that combines psychological insight with information from the Akashic Records to help parents better understand their child and the parent-child relationship. The consultation explores the child’s unique nature, strengths, patterns, and areas of growth, offering a deeper perspective that can inform more intentional and responsive parenting.

  • Children do not always have the language or self-awareness to communicate what lies beneath their emotions and behavior. Soul-Level Parenting Consultation offers another lens for understanding your child’s unique nature, emotional and behavioral patterns, strengths, and needs. This deeper understanding can help you respond with greater clarity and support your child in becoming more fully who they are.

  • A focused psychological consultation that brings together you, your treating mental health provider, and Dr. Heather Hamed. Insights from the Akashic Records are explored within a psychological framework to illuminate themes, patterns, and potential areas for deeper exploration.

  • This is a brief, focused consultation rather than ongoing psychotherapy with Dr. Hamed. After the consultation, you continue your psychological work with your existing mental health provider.

  • No. Your treating mental health provider does not need to believe in or endorse the Akashic Records. Their role is to bring their established understanding of you and your ongoing psychological work to the collaborative consultation while maintaining their own independent professional judgement. Provider participation and consent are required for this service. If your provider does not agree to participate following the Provider Resonance Call, the consultation will not proceed and your payment will be refunded in full.
