"I enjoy working with couples, families, and individuals. My specialties include grief counseling, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and couples conflict. I have over 30 years of experience working with young adults in university settings and with individuals and couples in private practice. I have been the head clinician in an eating disorder and mood disorder clinic at a major university. I am particularly interested in working with clients who are struggling with low self worth and self loathing. I also have an expertise in working with gay couples."

"Although by orientation I'm a cognitive-behavioral therapist--that is, I focus on how thoughts and actions affect how we feel and respond to situations--I don't follow a cookbook approach to treatment. Each individual brings a unique set of problems to therapy, and I start with a thorough evaluation to assess your needs and develop a collaborative treatment plan that is personal yet based on current research. This type of therapy is focused more on the present than the past and on developing coping skills to help you deal with the problems that are currently troubling you."

"I believe therapy is a collaborative relationship that can lead to finding new and positive ways of relating to people and situations in your life. In therapy, we look at the distinctive ways in which you relate to me and others, whether or not you are aware of them, and then we analyze them so you can consciously begin to do something different. I want to make psychotherapy affordable, so I accept clients on a sliding scale basis, from $75 to $120. I would be happy to hear from you."

"Typically individuals come to psychotherapy for relief of emotional and psychological pain, which may take the form of depression, anxiety, self-defeating behavior, and/or unfulfilled relationships or goals, to name a few. Many can identify some past trauma, or perhaps some mistreatment that seems somehow connected. For others the reasons are more elusive, like a general feeling of unhappiness, perhaps with oneself or with others.I strive to help you verbalize your thoughts and feelings about what happens between us in our emerging relationship as a way of understanding your relationships in general."

"I use a holistic approach to support you in honoring the parts of your story that have never been told and the parts of you that feel unseen and unloved. I will gently guide you to courageously explore where you feel stuck in life. Relieving symptoms is not enough and true healing can only occur when the root causes of wounding and suffering are understood and transformed. In tending to your pain and suffering, you also unlock your potential for joy, peace, profound growth, transformation and healing. To learn more, follow me on IG and FB @hannah.wilson.lpc"

"The decision to engage in the process of seeking help or making change is one that takes courage. It is important that the professional you work with has an appreciation for your story and your context."

"In my practice I treat adolescents, college students, and adults dealing with a wide range of issues including, but not limited to, eating disorders, anxiety and depression, as well as relationship and identity issues. Therapy can also be helpful as one navigates times of transition, change, or if one is 'stuck' or unable to achieve desired goals. Together, we will determine what is getting in the way of progress and then help you work through those things to become the best possible version of yourself."

"Our life journey is challenging with unanticipated twists, turns, bumps and detours. How we choose to navigate these challenges will profoundly impact our ability to live a healthier, happier, and emotionally stable life."

"Looking for help can be difficult & scary. With eating disorders & other shame-based compulsive behaviors, trusting someone may feel near impossible. I have over 15 years of experience working with clients who suffer from shame, food & body issues & all other compulsive behaviors. These are extremely complex issues that not many understand completely. I do understand, because I went through it myself. My goal for my client is sanity around food, sanity around exercise, sanity around weight. I want you to finally have some peace. Using mind/body techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, Self psychology, and unconditional acceptance, we can work together and you can be free."

"I am a licensed clinical psychologist offering individual and group psychotherapy to adults and adolescents. I have been working in the field as a clinician, teacher and researcher for 20+ years. My areas of expertise include trauma/PTSD, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process and tailor my approach to meet individual needs. I strive to be active, flexible, genuine and attentive. To inform my work, I draw from cognitive-behavioral theory (skills based), attachment theory (insight based) and neuroscience research (psychoeducation re: the mind/body connection)."

"I mainly work with adult clients in their 20's-40's who are looking to make real and lasting changes in their lives. I am a firm believer in results coming from the therapeutic process and I am a good fit for those who enjoy an interactive and dynamic relationship with their therapist. Client's come to me when they have relationship issues, pervasive anxiety/panic attacks, low self-esteem, problems with boundaries, work place issues, parenting issues and general dissatisfaction with life. I am not a therapist that just listens, I offer feedback without giving advice, tools for navigating life and psychoeducation."

"I help clients to let go of patterns and beliefs that don't fit with the desires and goals they dream of. With deep empathy, soulful grounding and laughter, I guide clients to experience meaning and knowing, relief, and joy. Maybe you feel like you've tried, and you still haven't seen the changes you want. The unfulfilling relationships, habits of pleasing others, self-sabotage, anxiety, and similar difficult situations keep repeating themselves. Maybe you know why, maybe you don't. You think, "if only I could..." but you're just not there...yet!"

"Welcome to my practice!. What ever your needs, I approach our work with zest and empathy which comes from broad experience working in psychiatric and health settings. Whether with problems of elderly, families,couples or people facing job loss, academic problems, illness, bereavement, trauma or the loneliness of anxiety and depression, psychotherapy can bring relief and find inner strengths and possibilities. I focus especially on communication skills, and deprograming early dysfunctional messages which interfere with forming relationships in all aspects of life. Together we will meet your immediate needs and begin a longer journey towards fulfilling your deepest aspirations."

"I view therapy as a process that can facilitate healing and change, as well as understanding and fulfillment. Whether stuck in a conflicted relationship, feeling lost, struggling with depression or anxiety, adjusting to a transition or life change, feeling unable to break unhealthy patterns or resolve past issues and pain, it can be difficult to know where to start. Together, we can explore the issues you face and identify the direction you want your life to take and the steps needed to get you there. Once established, our relationship can provide the foundation and safety for this process."

To go on a voyage of self-discovery and change. It can be a rewarding journey. My approach focuses on helping you identify and work through whatever it is that is keeping you from reaching your full potential. I am collaborative, compassionate, and accepting. I have an interactive style, in which we work together to make sense of your experiences. Please contact me for additional information to help you make your decision."

"Therapy offers a setting in the service of further knowing and understanding one's feelings, so as to be better able to respectfully care for one's self. Generally, the more choices we have in caring for our feelings, the better we usually feel and function. Learning to talk through feelings lessens the risks of those feelings being acted out in self-destructive ways. Constructive self-management contributes to self-esteem. Self-understanding, in combination with more clearly defined personal boundaries, makes for more satisfying relationships with others."
