Constance Lynn Hummel, MA, RCC-ACS, CCC, APC
Clinical Psychotherapist, Values-Based Leadership Coach, Peak Performance Strategist, Speaker & Trainer

Over the last 16 years, I’ve blended my background in the corporate world and entrepreneurship with advanced training as a psychotherapist, coach, consultant, and educator. The result is a confidential space where high-profile leaders of all genders, sexual orientations, and neurotypes can compassionately explore their inner world and outer impact with clarity and depth. Then we follow it up with a dose of brave and strategic action.

My clients are entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, and community leaders in high-pressure roles. They’re thoughtful, driven, values-oriented, and often carrying more than anyone sees. They don’t just want success – they want alignment. Their lives are complex, their minds are nuanced, and they crave a space where their whole self is welcome.

A space to be a human, who just happens to be a leader.

If this sounds like you, here’s what I already know – you have a vision, and you know how to get things done… or at least you did at one point. 

Even trailblazers get stuck. You can spin your wheels, lose momentum, and need somewhere to turn for support, strategy, and perspective. It’s hard to see the full picture when you’re standing inside the frame, and we were never designed to carry it all alone.

My practice integrates clinical psychotherapy, values-based leadership coaching, and peak performance strategy. This means we can work on trauma, anxiety, burnout, relationships, and self-doubt – while simultaneously strengthening leadership identity, communication, influence, and high performance.

You don’t have to choose between healing and excelling.

You can do both.

Whether you’re navigating private mental health challenges, refining your leadership presence, or evolving into your next level of impact, our work is bespoke and tailored to your complexity. 

My background includes a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Adler University (1,100 hour clinical practicum), a Master’s Certificate in Values-Based Leadership from Royal Roads University, and an Associate Power Coach designation specializing in Executive Coaching from Coaching and Leadership International.

I also hold the following certifications:

  • Registered Clinical Counsellor (#4009) / BCACC Approved Clinical Supervisor – BC Association of Clinical Counsellors

  • Canadian Certified Counsellor (#1828) – Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association

  • Certified Daring Way™ / Dare to Lead™ Facilitator – based on the research of Brené Brown

  • EMDR Certified Therapist – EMDRIA 

  • Certified Advanced LENS Neurofeedback Practitioner – Ochs Labs 

  • Certified Trauma of Money Facilitator – Trauma of Money 

  • Certified Nutrition and Mental Health Specialist – Evergreen Certifications
  • HeartMath Certified Practitioner – HeartMath Institute

Across 10,000+ direct client hours, I’ve worked deeply with complex trauma (C-PTSD), performance anxiety, burnout, relationships, addictions, and leadership identity, among others. All of this to say: I bring many tools, perspectives, and possibilities to our work. There is never a one-size fits all approach. You can find a more comprehensive list of my current certifications and trainings here.

So why work with me?

My work integrates personal and professional, systems thinking and strategic planning, past, present, and future focus – because we don’t experience our lives in compartments.

Together, we address the hidden drivers behind perfectionism, shame, imposter dynamics, self-doubt, and over-functioning. We build emotional regulation, boundaries, and resilience. And we simultaneously refine strategy, influence, performance, and impact.

This integration allows you to:

  • Reduce burnout without sacrificing ambition
  • Strengthen relationships without losing authority
  • Lead with confidence rooted in authenticity
  • Expand impact from a regulated, grounded nervous system

When your whole life is welcome in the room, your whole life benefits.
