Hannah Daniels, M.A. (she/her/hers) ~ Doctoral Therapy Extern

I believe that therapy is a meaningful act of self-care that helps us to be the best version of ourselves. Everyone can benefit from therapy, regardless of their reason for starting. Therapy is a space where one can explore identity, heal, and effect change. I have loved the field of psychology from a young age. I have always been drawn to working with people and learning from them. My own experience in therapy has deepened my understanding of myself and has strengthened my ability to support others as a clinician.

I am a third-year doctoral student in the clinical psychology Psy.D. program at The Chicago School. My clinical experience includes working in community mental health with clients across the lifespan from diverse backgrounds who have experienced a range of challenges and trauma. I am passionate about providing equitable mental health treatment and doing so with cultural humility. My clinical interests include anxiety, depression, OCD, and eating disorders. I also have a particular interest in supporting clients navigating issues of gender, identity, and life transitions.

My therapeutic style is a blend of systemic and relational lenses, though I cater my style to the needs of the client. I believe the foundation of the therapy is the therapist-client relationship, which will guide our work together. I aim to collaborate with my clients to set goals that are important to them. I am warm, compassionate, and will work to cultivate a safe, non-judgmental space.
