Play Therapy in Raleigh, NC

As someone who has experienced past sexual / physical abuse, or chronic illness, do you often wonder how you can move past the overwhelming shame and pain? Have you tried “everything” but nothing seems to alleviate the flashbacks or unwanted memories. Do you want to stop dissociating? Do you long be free of anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts; longing for connection, worthiness, and to tell your story with a safe, non-judgmental person. Are you willing to examine thoughts, emotions, behaviors and learn how to utilize your whole self, develop shame resilience—transforming the way you live & love in your current relationships?

Hello! I am a Hispanic, bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA). I am currently available to provide therapeutic services for Children (6+), Adults, and Families. My primary focus is on trauma, as well as anxiety, depression, anxiety, life transitions, LGBTQ+, and other life stressors. My previous experience in various diverse settings, including private practice, inpatient facilities, and community agencies, have equipped me with a broad perspective and a deep understanding of the mental health landscape.

My name is Hannah Edwardson and I am a licensed therapist specializing in providing support to children, teens, and their families. I am able to empower clients through a holistic approach that emphasizes nervous system co-regulation and empathy for oneself and others. Drawing from extensive experience in evidence-based techniques from Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) and Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT), I engage children and teens in creative expression, allowing them to communicate and process their experiences in a language that feels natural and comfortable. Through this process, I guide my clients towards healing and growth.

I enjoy working with people who have an interest in their own personal growth, taking a journey, trying something new. If you are looking into trying out therapy, you ARE that person! You are looking to take a chance on yourself, and that's a wonderful, and sometimes overwhelming feeling. New things can be hard, and I think therapy should be supportive of this while guiding them through the necessary process of growing pains. Therapy can be hard work, but the benefits can last a lifetime.

Tantrums, timeouts, tears—repeat. Those big feelings come out in unexpected, unhealthy ways or are trapped below, so deeply, it begins to eat away at their self confidence. It is painful to watch as their behavior and mood worsen, and that child gets harder and harder to parent. They're trying to be strong, but are carrying a weight too heavy for their little shoulders. You have to be so strong but you are losing connection with yourself in the process. If any of this resonates with you, we may be a good fit. I'm passionate about working with children ages 2 and up, adolescents, adults, and young parents.

Choosing the right therapist can be a difficult decision; especially when they're working so closely with you or your child. You want someone who listens, understands and hears your concerns but is also supportive and nurturing. Let me begin by stating that I provide a safe environment where I incorporate empathy, encouragement, and laughter as part of the therapy process. But most importantly I believe in building a relationship with every person is the key to the healing process.

If you find yourself feeling low and unmotivated to accomplish tasks, feel out of control because your emotions or thoughts are intense, or maybe you feel like there needs to be a change in your lifestyle, this could be a launch point for getting into therapy. As a therapist I hope to create a safe and welcoming environment for people to feel comfortable sharing their life experiences with me at their own pace. There are also times in which life circumstances may be overwhelming, or certain trauma triggers are continuing to be an issue, we can work on how to manage the difficult emotions in order to function in any environment.
