You are the only one who knows what it's like to be you, and sometimes making sense of it all is just plain overwhelming. My approach is simple; to help you navigate through the messiness, awkwardness, shameful, and painful. Let's create a plan together in our judgement-free space to set you up for success. Believe it or not, there's a job for all parts of you to help make this happen.
I am a trauma-focused therapist who also offers art therapy as a modality to help process and deepen your understanding of yourself. I specialize in women's mental health and enjoy integrating empowerment, anti-diet culture, and mindfulness into treatment, with the goal of bringing insight into your life and encouraging conscious decision making.
Let's see if we are a good fit to work together. When it feels difficult to make that first step to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation, remember this quote by therapist Nicole Arzt, "Sometimes therapy is awkward," and I couldn't agree more! If you reach out either via email or phone, I will get back to you within 48 hours.
Call or Tess Hannafin now for a free 15 minute consultation - (203) 697-8437
