Family therapy and counseling in Bridgeport, CT

Do you like horses? I believe healing happens in relationships, with ourselves, with others, and with the natural world around us. My path to becoming a therapist has always been rooted in a deep respect for both human resilience and the calming, grounding presence of animals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with both a Bachelor's and a Master’s degree in Social Work (a minor in Criminology) and over seven years of clinical experience supporting individuals across a variety of settings, including private practice, forensic social work, residential programs, telehealth, and community outreach. Throughout my career, I have worked alongside adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship stress. I also have experience supporting individuals involved in the legal system, which has deepened my understanding of how stress, environment, and personal history shape behavior and coping.

Hanna’s Healing Hounds & Hooves, LLC was created from my vision of offering therapy that extends beyond the traditional office setting. As a certified equine-assisted psychotherapy provider, I integrate nature-based and somatic approaches to help clients reconnect with their bodies, build emotional awareness, and develop healthier patterns of coping. I feel honored to do this work and to witness the ways people grow when given the right environment, support, and compassion.

As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.

I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.

Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

As an licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), my therapeutic framework is rooted in using a systemic approach with my clients. What this means is that I believe we understand ourselves within the context of our foundational relationships with others. I work with individuals, couples and/or families from this framework to help them to build healthier relationships within themselves as well as with others.

I have worked in many different areas from school age children to the elderly. I bring with me the skills and experiences to my therapy practice. I can help your start your journey and explore the hard truths

As a child of immigrants, I have seen how hard it may be to navigate different cultures and identities in America. I also have first hand experience navigating three cultures and acculturation issues throughout my life, I have seen how lonely it may feel to have trauma related to cultures and family of origin.
