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. I am unable to provide letters for the courts, insurance, child custody issues, emotional support animals, etc. Please let me know if you need referrals or suggestions for what to do if you are in need of something that I am not able to provide.

I have worked with clients suffering from stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and those struggling to cope with life changes. I have experience working with severely mentally ill patients in a psychiatric emergency treatment center and a community behavioral health clinic. I have spent the majority of my time, however, in private practice. My clients range in age from 13 to 99! I enjoy helping people from all walks of life. Many people come to me because they are suffering from anxiety. It seems like COVID really pushed a lot of people over the edge, especially those who were already struggling with relationships or mental health issues. Panic attacks, depression, sleep disorders, and mood swings are common issues I see in clients. A lot of moms used to have a glass of wine at night and now many are admitting to needing a whole bottle! Many people tell me they feel fearful of things that are happening in the world and do not know how to cope with feeling out of control. Others tell me that they are struggling financially or dealing with health issues. I have had many teens tell me that they feel suicidal and hopeless. I have also seen an increase in those struggling with gender dysphoria and relationship issues. A lot of my older clients are sad about the world they will be leaving to their children. I understand and empathize with all of these situations! From OCD to PTSD, there really isn't much that I haven't encountered as a therapist. Veterans, homeless, addicts, abusers, victims, parents, children, CEOs, athletes, cancer patients, EMS workers, young and old, rich and poor... you name it...I have worked with people from all walks of life. What I can say is that I bring the same level of compassionate care to everyone I encounter. There is no judgment. It is humbling to realize that for many people, I am the one person they feel safe confiding in, and I take that trust very seriously. Regardless of the issues and their severity, I work closely with every client to help find solutions that make life more manageable and enjoyable. I believe that every person needs a toolbox that is full of ideas and strategies for coping with the stressors of life. As the saying goes, if all you have is a hammer, then everything will look like a nail. There are plenty of other tools out there, and when you own them, it is so empowering! Soon, you will be building and creating the life that you want for yourself! You are unique, valuable, and worthy of healthy relationships, happiness, and love. I believe that you are the expert of your life and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.

Biography: Congratulations on taking that first step, it's usually the hardest one to take. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado. I have over 14 years experience working with professionals dealing with life stressors and over 5 years providing support and coaching. A main focus in my treatment is establishing a therapeutic alliance with the client. I believe having a good connection helps facilitate effective counseling and provides the best outcomes. I am supportive, compassionate, and am present. I make sure to meet each individual where they are at and actively listen to and respect where they would like to see themselves in the future with the help of therapy. I have found that there are times when all of us need an ear to lean on - I am an expert at being that ear. There are areas of our lives that we may find we are stuck or just need to sound it out - and our family and friends have heard it so many times that they tend to agree with us, rather than provide new insights. My wish is to be able to provide those insights for you to break through whatever may be holding you back - be it work situations, self-concept issues, or clouded thinking. I have successfully used cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotional freedom techniques (EFT), and self-assessments and questioning to help others move through blocks and obtain greater clarity in their lives.
