Lydia Hanson

I believe healing happens in connection, and I strive to foster a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and understanding. I believe in meeting you where you are at, understanding what matters most to you, and working together to create a meaningful and fulfilling life. I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space for individuals from all walks of life, and I am particularly passionate about providing affirming care for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. My clients would describe me as warm, positive, and creative. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my two cats, reading, and crocheting.

I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Clinical Psychology, and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, with a minor in Neuroscience. My academic and clinical experiences have involved helping relationships and the treating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and PTSD. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, and I tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique journey. My job is to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered. I incorporate modalities such as acceptance commitment therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, and art therapy.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist, your mental health matters.
