Hannah Schlichter

Hi, I’m Hannah Leib Schlichter, LCSW, founder of Grow and Glow Child Therapy LA. I specialize in helping children, teens, and young adults navigate anxiety, OCD, ADHD, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and big emotions. I earned my Master of Social Work from USC and have extensive experience supporting youth and families in both community mental health and private practice settings. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where clients feel understood, build confidence, and learn practical skills that help them thrive.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based. I integrate evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety, play therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies, while tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs. I believe meaningful growth happens when clients feel safe, supported, and empowered, so I focus on building strong therapeutic relationships while teaching practical tools that can be used both in and outside of sessions. For children and teens, I also partner closely with parents to help create lasting change across environments.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a foundation of trust. We will talk about what brought you or your child to therapy, explore current challenges and strengths, and discuss goals for treatment. My priority is creating a welcoming, judgment-free environment where clients feel comfortable sharing at their own pace. By the end of the session, clients and families can expect a clearer understanding of the therapy process and a collaborative plan for moving forward.
