Hannah Hagins
Counselor, MA, LPCA
I pride myself in going above and beyond in providing my clients with a safe and nonjudgemental space. As a person-centered therapist, I believe the client is the master of their own reality and it is my job to meet them where they are at. I am a licensed professional counseling associate who is also targeted case management certified with trainings in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy and serious mental illness. While I work with ages 13-75, I have found that my heart and passion are with the adolescent population. Each client has their own unique healing journey, and I am eager to provide a safe and nonjudgemental space to explore this and peel back the layers that make you, you. Regardless of your situation and background, I look forward to working together to build a therapeutic relationship!
