Get to know: Hanna

In this series of blog posts, we will highlight our fabulous clinicians! Get to know a little more about our providers. First up- Hanna!

What is your favorite color? 

I really don't have one....all of them?? But I like to wear black clothes!

Do you have any pets? 

A dog- August, and a cat- Billi!

What do you love about being a therapist? 

I absolutely love working with people, especially young people, and watching them learn what their values and goals are. Seeing people get motivated about the future is so reinforcing for me. And I love building relationships, forming genuine connections (that's a Love Island reference....if you know, you know)

What is one of your go-to mindfulness practices? 

Yoga

What is one of your hobbies or interests? 

I love trying new restaurants! I also attend tons of concerts

Why do you choose to work at LakeWest DBT Center? 

I think the work we do is the perfect balance of rewarding and challenging. I have gained so much experience and knowledge that has helped me make a genuine difference in the lives of my clients. And the Fridays off don't hurt either, it really helps with work-life balance.

Anything else you'd like to share? Fun facts? 

I have been a vegetarian for over a decade! I'm also a huge Grateful Dead fan and have seen Dead and Co in concert over 15 times.
