Marie Hanis

My communication style

If we’re working through something difficult, you can expect me to be calm, patient, and respectful of what you are going through. My skills at active listening will allow you to openly share and reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest in being a therapist began in my youth; then life brought struggles with ending relationships, grief and loss, single motherhood, and a family history of addiction, which solidified my passion to pursue the dream. I understand the value of developing resilience.

My goals for you

Change is hard, but it begins with understanding and accepting yourself while having the courage to challenge what leads to self-defeating behaviors. Together, we will create a realistic plan for change. When clients say, “You’ve helped me so much,” my response is always, “You did the work.”

Our first session

It all begins with me getting to know you, with genuine curiosity about what brings you to therapy. And likewise, I welcome your candid questions – it’s important that you feel at ease. Then, if we agree that we are a good fit, together we will craft a plan around your unique needs in a safe space.
