Hannah Shirley

Hello! I'm a trauma therapist specializing in PTSD, complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I provide EMDR and other deep-processing therapies to help clients move through painful experiences without needing to retell every detail. My approach is compassionate, direct, and grounded in understanding how trauma shapes emotions, relationships, and self-worth.

If you don’t see a time that fits on Headway, please reach out at 802-636-5805. I often have additional openings not shown online.

I take a relational, trauma-focused approach that prioritizes both safety and real change. In addition to EMDR, I help clients make sense of their experiences by exploring patterns, emotions, and how past relationships shape their present. My work is grounded in psychodynamic and narrative therapy, supporting deep processing and insight. My style is interactive and engaged—I help clients work through what’s keeping them stuck and move toward meaningful change in a way that feels manageable.

You can expect therapy to be a space where you don’t have to perform or filter yourself. My focus is on helping you feel less trapped by the past, more in control of your emotions, and clearer about what you want from life and relationships. Therapy can be hard! I bring a straightforward, down-to-earth approach that makes hard conversations feel manageable.
