Getting to know Hanna Pierson
Life doesn't come with a 'practice round', so of course we stumble, trip, and sometimes skip along the way. I work with children, adults, and couples to help untangle the messy, funny, challenging, and sometimes painful parts of being human. My approach is warm, compassionate, humorous, and real.
My approach
I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative, supportive, and authentic. I utilize a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), and a Client-Centered approach to help you grow to where you want to be. These evidence-based methods provide practical tools while also honoring the individual story each person brings into the room. Together, we work to ease emotional distress, quiet intrusive thoughts, and address the impact of trauma. My goal is not only to help reduce suffering but also to encourage resilience, healing, and growth. I adapt my approach to meet the unique needs of children, adults, and couples, and I strive to create a space where people feel understood, supported, and safe to explore meaningful change.
My focus
My practice primarily focuses on individuals and couples facing parenting difficulties, relationship struggles, trauma recovery, and major life transitions. With a focus on treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and attachment-based issues. I am dedicated to supporting veterans, first responders, and their families with the unique challenges that come with these professions. I specialize in the treatment of OCD utilizing ERP.
My communication style
I communicate with warmth, clarity, and understanding. I listen closely to your experiences and help make sense of difficult feelings, offering guidance in a way that’s supportive and easy to follow. I aim to balance empathy with honesty so you feel both heard and encouraged to grow.
