Getting to know Hannah Cillessen
I’ve found my passion in working with marginalized communities and individuals affected by trauma. Over the past four years, I’ve worked in community mental health, supporting clients living with severe and persistent mental illnesses such as PTSD, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, generalized anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder.
I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas Tech University, and I’m currently a Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor working under the supervision of Lynette Belknap-Williams, LPC #1549.
Please note: Zocdoc is our booking platform, but once you schedule an appointment, you will receive a follow-up email from Simple Practice titled “Welcome to Mind of Peace Counseling.” This message includes a secure link to access your client portal, where you'll complete the required intake forms . Detailed information is provided on your intake paperwork from ZocDoc when you book your appointment.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I have experience working with clients in crisis, individuals experiencing homelessness, and those involved in the legal system. I strongly believe in trauma-focused, person-centered care that meets people where they are.
While I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and have used it as a primary treatment approach, I often integrate other modalities such as person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. My goal is to create a space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward lasting change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I meet clients where they are—emotionally, mentally, and situationally—and tailor my approach based on their needs and goals. In our initial sessions, I take time to understand your history, current concerns, and what you're hoping to gain from therapy.
Depending on your preferences and needs, I may integrate tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused strategies. My goal is to build a supportive, collaborative space where you feel safe to process, grow, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.

More information on payments and coverage
We help verify your insurance benefits as a courtesy, but we cannot guarantee coverage. We strongly recommend calling your insurance provider directly before booking to confirm whether your selected therapist is in-network and what your out-of-pocket costs may be.
Please note that your therapist may not be located in your state, and some insurance plans require that your provider be licensed and physically located in your state of residence. Please check with your insurance company before booking to see if this applies to your plan.
If you choose to self-pay, we will provide a Good Faith Estimate. Copays or session fees may apply based on your plan. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions—our team is here to help!
