Getting to know Carissa Hannum

Carissa Hannum is an active and engaged therapist who lovingly challenges individuals and families toward change. She uses here-and-now strategies to help people experiment with different ways of being within the safe container of therapy. Carissa helps you confront patterns that aren?t working for you anymore, whether it?s an eating disorder, depression, or trauma that keeps you stuck. She helps you figure out your vision of health and then strategizes with you to find ways to move toward that goal. Carissa holds a Master?s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Washington University, which informs her compassionate and evidence-based approach. Eating Disorders Treatment Whether you are dealing with anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder, Carissa can help you fight the disorder and regain your freedom. She understands eating disorders on multiple levels and can help you learn about the emotional functions of your eating disorder, the role it plays in your relationships, and the cultural overlay of food and body values. Armed with these insights, you can make real changes in the way you relate to your food. Carissa provides evidence-based tips and techniques for fighting eating disorder symptoms that aren?t working for you, and she will be a tireless supporter in your corner. Family Therapy Family therapy is one of the most effective ways to help each member of the family heal. The presence of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or trauma affects the whole family. Regardless of whether individual diagnoses are present, the impact on the whole system is palpable. Family therapy helps a family deal with these issues with a broad view in mind. Understanding the ?unwritten rules? of your family (and every family has them) can help you decide whether or not they are working for you. Learning clearer communication and healthy boundaries can help your family function more effectively and help the people within it feel more grounded and connected.
