Aria Hanna

My communication style

My communication style is expressive and enthusiastic, while also calm and nurturing. I am very empathetic and understanding towards each of my clients, and I support each individual's different style of communication. In addition, as your therapist, I will listen to you without judgment and accept you for the unique individual you are.

My journey to mental healthcare

What initially attracted me to a career as a therapist was working as a preschool teacher and seeing children and families in need of mental health support. I was also raised in a family that struggled with its own addictions and mental health difficulties, which inspired me to help others who have had similar experiences to my own.

My goals for you

I believe having a trusting therapeutic relationship is the most successful way of helping clients reach their goals. Trust is the most important factor. I feel that once trust is established, only then are clients able to successfully make changes in their lives. I typically take a collaborative approach to creating goals with my clients.

Our first session

What you can expect from our first session together are questions to learn more about you. I am very interested in learning about your unique story and what brought you to therapy, as well as how you are currently feeling. The main purpose of our first session together is to establish trust and rapport and gather information about your life.
