Biography: My name is Hannah and I knew that I wanted to be a counselor by the time that I was in 8th grade. I went through my undergraduate program at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs for Communications and Psychology. Then I continued on to my Masters program for Counseling and Human Services with an emphasis in School Counseling at UCCS as well. Along the way I have worked with various age ranges of students in the school system and with first year college students. After graduation I became a school counselor in Denver and then in Colorado Springs the following year. Throughout my experience as a school counselor I found that I wanted to become a clinical counselor out in the field to create different change. Throughout the process of receiving my LPC I was experiencing some of my own depression after one of my high school freshman students committed suicide. Through my recovery and therapy I found yoga as a healing modality that complimented my therapeutic healing and knew that I wanted to spread and share that type of mind-body healing with everyone. Through yoga and counseling I now work to help people find the connection with their mental health and body awareness in a safe space to grow, learn, heal, experience, and observe themselves in this capacity. I teach yoga for depression and anxiety in the community and at treatment centers for addiction/substance abuse, and with teens in recovery. My approach to healing has a combination of Rogerian, Jungian, solution focused brief therapy and body healing theory. I am a certified yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance and am also a Reiki healer. I believe that I can help people who are willing to help themselves and are ready to put in the effort to change. I believe that the connection of mind and body helps people to release stress and trauma that is held in the tissues of the body and to fully recover and heal from the root cause. I am here to meet clients where they are at, provide a safe space, and to help clients grow and learn in this healing process together. I am a firm believer that every teacher is also a student so I strive to be curious and open to what I can learn from each individual that I meet. **On this platform, per BetterHelp terms and conditions, I am not able to make a formal diagnosis for you.

Biography: I believe our choices are deeply influenced by the information we have at any given moment. This "information" is derived from how we interpret our life experiences, forming a narrative that defines who we are.

My aim is to offer clients a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where we can examine how past experiences may be hindering your ability to enjoy life fully. Together, we can identify effective coping strategies, explore new options, and set meaningful goals.

Biography: I am licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado (since 2011), and received my M.A. in Counseling from Colorado Christian University. Although I have experience providing therapy around a variety of issues, my areas of focus include grief and loss, depression, & transitions/life changes. I'm also passionate about working with clients around compassion fatigue, an issue many of us in service and caretaking-related fields experience at some point. It is my strong belief that we, as humans, were designed to connect, to be seen and known fully, but isolation and brokenness are often the reality. Augustine wrote about "the unobserved life," referring to the cruciality of self-reflection. I am here to facilitate a more observed life for the purpose of deeper self-awareness, insight into our own strengths and weaknesses, a greater sense of purpose and direction, as well as cultivating empathy and understanding for others. Pain and sorrow are often the means by which we grow. Rather than offering a band aid or "feel better fast" approach, which, I believe, is antithetical to the deep soul work we actually need, I will walk alongside you in your pain, whatever that pain may look like. Research shows that the modality of a therapist matters much less in terms of treatment outcomes than the quality of relationship between therapist and client. As such, I implement an eclectic approach, often using aspects of several different models including CBT, DBT, and existential therapy, but believe the most poignant and lasting change occurs as a result of the genuine human connection found in the therapeutic relationship. I look forward to working with you!
