Hannan Dababneh, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Hannan!

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or life transitions, I am here to support you in a compassionate, non-judgmental space where healing and growth are possible. I've worked with individuals facing diverse challenges across various settings, and I'm here to walk alongside you.

My focus

I work with adults, older adults, couples, and justice-involved individuals. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, end-of-life issues, life transitions, generational trauma, LGBTQ+ matters, and interpersonal relationship challenges.

My approach

Think of therapy as a partnership where we work together to figure out what works best for you. I want to give you real, tangible skills you can use in everyday life to manage stress and challenges healthily. My goal is to walk alongside you and provide support in a way that feels comfortable, yet empowering.

My communication style

My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and valued. I aim for a comfortable, genuine environment where you can express yourself authentically. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to listen, offer insight, and EMPOWER you to become more confident and worthy in your journey of life.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a first-generation American, I grew up navigating cultural clashes and the challenges of ADHD in a home affected by domestic violence. I became passionate about advocating for others struggling to find their voice. Through self-reflection and self-acceptance, I realized my past struggles gave me the empathy to connect with others.

My goals for you

I take the time to truly listen and understand your perspective. We'll carefully assess where you are now and what you hope to achieve, tailoring treatment that reflects your personal goals. By the end of our sessions, you'll feel empowered with the skills and confidence to navigate life on your terms.

Our first session

The first session is all about laying the foundation for a strong therapeutic relationship. It's a space for us to get to know one another in a relaxed and supportive environment. Together, we'll explore your personal history, your thoughts, and your emotions in a safe and comfortable setting.
