Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

I believe the best investment you can make is investing in yourself. I understand that it can be difficult to reach out for help whether it be out of guilt, shame, convenience or just pure apprehension. I also understand that many see therapy as another difficult hurdle amongst all the other things life throws at you. I don’t believe therapy has to be a chore and while it may be challenging at times, I don’t believe it always has to be painful.

Hanna Guenther
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
Looking for freedom, healing, transformation? As an observer of human behavior and relationship, I see the sticky interconnectedness of self, other, and systems that often imprisons us in behaviors, thoughts, and reactions that can feel unchangeable. I believe people often do the best they can to face the challenges of life, yet in doing so, some of what we discover works at first, fails us long-term. And it’s here that we often feel trapped—between doing what we know to do and knowing what we’re doing is no longer working.
