Hannah Jones-Lewis, LCSW

Introduction:

I believe in the profound power of resiliency and that we all have the capacity to heal, to recover, and to thrive after we endure painful experiences, loss, and trauma. I am committed to the co-creation of a safe and trusting relationship that can support healing connection and an understanding of how to reengage in relationships with new awareness. 

Range of Focus

• Trauma recovery and healing
• Grief and Loss 
• Disruptions in attachment relationships 
• Management of anxiety, depression, and trauma-exposure symptoms
• Affirmative practice with LGBTQ individuals and families 
• Life transitions, including the transition to parenthood and caregiving 
• Insomnia and sleep disturbances

Treatment Approaches:

I use a client-centered approach to therapy and believe that it is a process that should be guided by the client seeking support; therefore, I spend a lot of time in therapy working to understand clients' goals and encouraging feedback on the therapy process. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed lens, which means that I take time to create a safe and trusting space that acknowledges and respects the impacts and vulnerabilities of trauma, loss, and painful experiences. In the therapy session, I will draw from different therapeutic modalities and adapt depending on each client's needs.
