About Wayfinding
About Jamie Hermes
My work is shaped by both clinical training and years spent in leadership, systems, and organizational change.
Before returning fully to therapy, I built a career applying behavioral insight in complex environments, working alongside professionals who were smart, driven, and under constant pressure to adapt. Over time, I became increasingly aware of the human cost of sustained intensity, especially for those who are thoughtful, sensitive, and highly capable.
Wayfinding brings these threads together. My approach is relational, steady, and practical, with deep respect for how patterns form and how change actually happens. I tend to work best with people who appreciate reflection, want to understand themselves more fully, and are ready to move forward in a way that feels sustainable rather than forced.
A grounded, relational approach
Therapy at Wayfinding is collaborative, thoughtful, and attuned to both the nervous system and the larger context of your life.
Our work often focuses on:
Reducing chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout
Untangling long-standing patterns rooted in early responsibility, trauma, or emotional neglect
Increasing emotional flexibility, self-trust, and relational ease
Creating sustainable ways of living and relating that do not rely on constant self-pressure
Sessions integrate trauma-informed therapy, parts-based work, EMDR, and practical skill-building, always paced carefully and adapted to your needs. The goal is not to push for insight or change before your system is ready, but to build stability first, then movement.
Who this work tends to serve well
Wayfinding is especially well-suited for people who:
Are high-achieving, creative, or leadership-oriented
Feel driven to deliver, improve, or hold things together
Grew up needing to be emotionally aware, capable, or “the steady one”
Experience anxiety, burnout, or a sense of being different or slightly outside of things
Value depth, nuance, and thoughtful conversation over quick fixes
Many clients describe feeling competent yet disconnected, successful yet tired, or outwardly calm while carrying a great deal internally. If that resonates, you are likely in the right place.
What you can expect
Clients often describe therapy at Wayfinding as:
Calm, focused, and emotionally safe
Insightful without being overwhelming
Structured enough to feel grounding, flexible enough to meet real life
Oriented toward long-term change, not just symptom management
Progress here is measured less by intensity and more by increased steadiness, choice, and ease over time.
