Hannah Kristan, LCSW

My Approach

I create a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental space for my clients. I work together with my clients, allowing them to share their experiences, process their feelings, and establish goals for treatment. I work with my clients to address their goals in treatment and develop healthier coping strategies to improve their mental well-being.

Specialty Areas

I support adults and teens who are experiencing depression, anxiety, or self-esteem/lack of confidence challenges. Additionally, I specialize in counseling individuals dealing with co-occurring disorders such as alcohol and other addiction disorders, as well as individuals in the LGBTQ+ and disability communities. I also work with individuals who have autism and other spectrum disorders.
