Getting to know Hannah Braun

Having worked with hundreds of clients as a mental health therapist, I have experience helping people to achieve success with managing stress, regulating emotions, improving relationships, and navigating change. I use a strengths-based approach, empowering clients to recognize their full potential and providing them with tools to make lasting changes in their lives.

Experienced in providing Gender Affirming Care, I’ve been trained in many evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am motivated to assist clients with finding self-fulfillment and overall wellness; with a background in theatre, I believe that many aspects of life, including music, arts, and sports, can provide therapeutic benefits.

My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable space for clients to explore their challenges and reach their full potential.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Victor Frankl once said, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves”. I believe that we each have the potential for change!

At the start of therapy, we will work together to identify goals and create a plan for change like this. My goal is to assist clients with filling their “toolbox” with skills, techniques, and tricks to strengthen their ability to take control of their own lives and navigate any challenges as they arise.

I believe that the end goal of therapy is to no longer need therapy. It is my aim that by the end of our time together, clients feel empowered and capable of moving forward independently with the skills to cope with their emotions, manage stress, and navigate challenges.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I’m a therapist who provides her clients with validation, education, and practical skills from evidence-based modalities. I believe that therapy is the client’s personal time and I’m flexible to follow along with their needs and desires for the session:

I begin each session with a check-in, allowing clients the space to bring up any stressors or challenges that they would like. Sessions typically focus on reviewing skills that have been discussed in previous sessions, processing stressors and emotions, and introducing new skills. I like giving clients a goal, assignment, or idea to reflect on between sessions.

It is always very rewarding for me to see the progress that my clients make over time!
