Hyland & Associates is a wonderful counseling practice in Irvine. The practice provides a welcoming, professional, and supportive environment, and the therapists genuinely take the time to understand each client's individual needs and goals. The associates who are supervised by Tammy are extremely knowledgeable and professional and motivated to support their clients. I would highly recommend Hyland & Associates to anyone looking for compassionate, professional counseling in the Irvine area. read more

Update: 9-23-25; Ms Hyland did get back with me as she was on vacation this past week. Sounds like my information got buried with the other phone messages/phone solicitors messages. She was able to offer some good advice and I thanked her for the advice and the several attempts to reach me. :-) This rating is only for no call back from Ms. Hyland's office. Her office must use a call center, and they probably forward phone call messages to her. Just a bummer when looking for a high rated YELP doctor and you can't reach out to them. :-( read more

What an amazingly wise, sweet, smart and considerate therapist Tammy is, as well as her group. Have been working with her for some time now (not as frequent, made leaps of progress.)

She is the best! All that needs to be said! Books recommended and phone calls outside of the office, I would say she goes above and beyond! read more

To say that this office is wonderful is an understatement...every person that I've spoken with here is amazing. Dama was the first person I spoke to over the phone, who was wonderful. We then worked with Bo, who was absolutely life changing. We are currently working with Jan for something else, who is also amazing. 5 stars does not give this office enough credit. We've never met Tammy in person, but she staffs an amazing office and staff. Highly, HIGHLY recommended! read more

I have tried therapy before a couple of times throughout the years and never stuck with it because I never found someone I liked (their approach methods and such) until Tammy! Tammy gives such great advice, listens great and shared experiences that can help you feel less alone in your situation. I feel as if she really cares for her patients. Giving therapy another try last year with Tammy has been the best decision I could have made for myself and my mental health. She is so compassionate and I also love that she provides resources & books so people can continue learning and improving outside of the sessions as well. Thank you Tammy for being a great therapist! read more

I've been working with Dr Hyland for a few months now, and I just really love her. She is so kind and helpful. She is has so much grace for me when I don't have it for myself. She shares her own personal experiences, when relevant, and it helps to make me feel less alone in the experience that I'm having. She has really guided me through some tough times, and she has hope for me even when I feel that I've lost it for myself. I can't say enough good things about her. I love how sincere and open she is. Her realness makes her so relatable and easy to talk to openly. read more

Tammy is one of the most compassionate and caring people I have ever met. She is both professional and personable. From the moment I met her, her warmth shone through and I could tell how dedicated she is to her clients. I would recommend her to everyone I know for couple's counseling, as her EFT based strategies completely align with the person that she is. She utilizes her intelligence and empathy to help her clients navigate difficult situations, and her work is truly profound. I would rate her over 5 stars if I could! One more thing: her office is beautiful. The colors and decor are so calming, it's the perfect place to go to for a therapy session. Tammy is the best! read more

She took the time to understand our situation and offered support, but also gentle perspectives that helped us work through issues. She also asks insightful questions that helped address some our underlying issues and misunderstandings. I would highly recommend Tammy for anyone seeking couples counseling. She also does do virtual visits if her office is a bit farther away! read more

Was not a good fit for me although my husband until this day will quote her. Just seemed like she sided with my husband. I felt misunderstood and instead of helping me made me get angrier at my husband due to some suggestions given by the therapist. I'm sure she is a good therapist for some but due to my traditional values maybe was not a good fit for me. read more

I needed someone to help me reset my life and help me get through some complicated thoughts that i have been having.

Tammy has been most helpful. This is my first experience with a professional Councillor / Therapist. I'm already feeling better and still have a long journey ahead, With the help of Tammy I see a brighter future for me going forward. Kind consideration and dignity are only a few of the attributes Tammy has shown. Unfortunately for me I've had to relocate back to the UK, had I been fortunate enough to stay in California I would have continued the therapy sessions with Tammy. I very much doubt the road to mental health is something we can go alone, so please seek professional help from someone as qualified as Tammy read more

Tammy is exceptional. I have been to a few marriage counselors, and I am so glad we found her. She gives you tools to help, recommends great literature to read. She never takes sides. My husband and I are truly thankful and will recommend her to many friends. Brilliant lady! read more

My fiancé and I have been seeing Tammy for couples therapy for just over a year now. Prior to starting therapy I asked my finance to research some therapists and pick one, knowing that he'd be more likely to go, if he felt comfortable with them. I was so happy when he told me that he found someone he liked.... And we've been going on a weekly basis, ever since. Tammy is a very calming, caring, genuine person, who makes you comfortable opening up to her. She is very intuitive, picks up on body language, facial expressions and quickly gets to the root of our surface issues. She is fair, never favors one person or the other but does help find out our individual issues and addresses them. During some of our toughest times, I've reached out to Tammy without an appointment and she's made time to have a phone session with me. I think a really good therapist is someone who actually cares about their clients and Tammy truly does! We plan to continue to see Tammy for couples therapy through and after we are married. Our family and friends have seen our relationship grow and evolve so much since we began seeing her. And to be honest we kind of look forward to going to therapy, good things always come from it. Tammy has been such an incredible outlet for us both to be open and speak without walls up. Her techniques and tools have made us better individuals and as a couple. We both HIGHLY recommend Tammy! She's truly one of the best out there. read more

My wife and I have had the opportunity to meet with Tammy a few times. What I have really experienced is her willingness to listen and speak directly to both of us. She never takes sides and is always very concerned about being completely understood so that we can learn the best we can from our situation. My wife and I are so thankful we have had the opportunity to meet Tammy and she has really helped us communicate and re-calibrate our thinking. It has really helped my wife and I learn to focus on the things that are important and to understand the things that are not important. Taking time to slow down and think of the other's feelings. Tammy has been exceptional in being honest with both of us directly and helping us both understand how to better listen and communicate with one another. Again cannot express how thankful we are that we have had the opportunity to work with Tammy and she has been so helpful. read more

I started seeing Tammy (via video chat) a few weeks into the COVID-19 lockdown. I have seen many therapists over the years and Tammy is without a doubt the best I've ever worked with. She's incredibly easy to be vulnerable with and very apt at picking up on my emotions and state of mind. Almost every session I have left with a recommendation for reading or a worksheet with practical and useful information in line with issues I am encountering in my day to day life. She is very easy to get a hold of and very flexible, working with my ever changing schedule. I would highly recommend her - even if you are not local (I'm in LA). My wife and two of her friends have started to see her associate Jaclyn and have nothing but good things to say about her as well! Fair pricing and top notch service. Thank you Tammy! read more

Tammy is amazing. I recommend her entirely. She has been instrumental in helping me tackle a wide variety of things that have popped up over the years. I'm sure your situation is unique, and comparing my successes against your needs strikes me as a fools errand, so I will give you a concrete example of how much I appreciate Tammy and her work: I live in Los Angeles but happily drive an hour each way to work with her. She's THAT good. read more

Tammy is an amazing therapist, she's extremely insightful and considerate to her clients. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a good therapist. read more

Talking to Tammy is like chatting with a close friend! I've been seeing Tammy for about a year now and I'm very happy with how far I've come. She listens without judgment and uses her knowledge to give a new (and enlightening) perspective to things. She's great at getting to the root of the issue so you can feel better! Tammy helped me face issues that I thought I never could. She makes me feel like there is someone out there who understands and who will sit with me when I struggle and cheer me on! I've grown so much over the past year and I feel more secure about myself than ever before! Thank you Tammy! read more

My husband and I have been seeing Tammy for like 3 months now and I am happy that we (actually, it was my husband) found her! Thanks to Yelp, of course! Tammy is a very compassionate therapist. She has helped me and my husband how to communicate better. She is highly qualified and will skillfully listen to both sides of the story. She did not only help me with my communication skills but she also helped me understand why my partner acts the way he is. She is an expert in relationships (as well as in children). Being in therapy with her has helped me not only understand my partner but also helped me to love and take care of myself. I highly recommend Tammy if you want to better understand yourself and get what you want out of life including richer relationships. read more

I rarely write reviews but Tammy has helped our family's communication tremendously that I have to tell you how great she is!! We're not perfect, we still have disagreements and stresses in our lives but Tammy has given us the tools to work through our emotions and our life situations in a way that when our arguments and disagreements arise we're able to communicate our point of views and emotions in a way that we are now listening to one another instead of trying to win an argument. Trust me when I say we've been to a few therapists and none have been able to help the way Tammy has. She is one of a kind!! read more

Tammy helped me through a very difficult time in my life and has continued to be a great therapist helping guide me through a new phase in life now. Her vast life experience relates to mine tremendously which helps me feel understood by someone who's walked the same path yet approaches challenges with a fair and objective point of view helping me see both sides. I highly recommend Tammy and know that she would be a great fit to help any individual or family. read more

Not a good fit for us doing marriage counseling when a husband cheats. She seemed very nice but clearly doesn't understand how toxic narcissistic in laws can be. She laughed if off and told me it was my fault I had issues with his toxic parents ( my communication issues ) and to be nice to them as they raised my husband. Also, be nice since they are getting old. Wow! One of the reasons we were having marriage trouble because I always had to "sweep in under the rug" or just "let it go " and after 20 years, I couldn't take it anymore especially with little spousal support. Then she says I have to continue to handle their crap because they are old. Horrible therapist. She mentioned in the one counseling session we had that were to only work on husband cheating and other issues later, but she really focused on my issues in marriage instead of the cheating spouse. Horrible experience. Didn't feel understood and she favored my husband, even my husband saw this. As we were walking out, he already knew I wasn't coming back. We have been to counseling before and had good experiences with two other counselors in Northern California. read more

Tammy has really helped my husband and I to see our dysfunctional communication patterns. She has given us tools to help us understand the roles that criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, and contempt play in our interactions. Simply being mindful of all of this has really helped us to slow down, think before we talk, and use language that will come across as less critical and more insightful. I highly recommend Tammy! read more

I found myself in a very frustrating and difficult family situation and Tammy was extremely helpful in navigating our family to a place of working together. She is a calming sensible person with a great ability to walk us through issues to establish a great relationship. I highly recommend her. read more

Tammy is kind and compassionate. It is obvious from the moment you meet her that she genuinely cares about her patients. She will make you feel as though you are the most important person in her life during the entire time you are with her. I have never ever felt judged when I have talked to Tammy. I have seen several counselors over the years, and none have been more intent on truly getting to the root of the problem and finding a way to help you work through it. We all have problems; luckily there's someone who can help us work them out! Thanks, Tammy! read more

Tammy is one of a kind. She is such a blessing to our family. She has helped my husband and I get closer and shift our way of thinking. She makes everyone feel comfortable and cared for. The environment she provides feels like you are sitting on a couch in the living room of a home, rather than a cold clinical office. She has tons of experience and it really shows. She is great for major life altering problems, as well as the little day to day issues to iron out. Seeing a therapist is never cheap... So it is important to find the right person right away that will help find results. She is worth every minute and every penny. read more

Tammy Hyland is a true professional. Made me feel very comfortable which made me be able to open up and make progress. I highly recommend!

Meeting Tammy and working with her has been such an enlightening experience. Going through life's journey sometimes leaves you a little lost and unsure of your feelings. Through my discussions with Tammy and her guidance I was able to make a plan and move forward with my life plan. Tammy puts you at ease with her warmth and compassionate advice, always maintaining professionalism and a positive attitude. She has inspired me and brought calm back into my life. I would highly recommend her to all! read more
