Getting to know Zara Hanson

Hi there, I'm Zara! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist, holding a Master’s in Social Work from Walla Walla University. In therapy, the session is a space for you to tell your story without judgment and to feel understood, whether individual, couple, or family. My approach I utilize Psychodynamic therapy to examine patterns and root causes from childhood, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to accept life’s terms, Motivational Interviewing (MI) for substance concerns and resistance, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, and acceptance, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address traumas and neutralize triggers. I move between therapy types to meet you where you are. With EMDR, I usually meet 1–3 sessions to determine if it’s appropriate and if you can work with its unique style. My focus I typically work with individuals experiencing trauma and PTSD, substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, anger management, depression, stress, dual diagnoses, mood disorders, and addiction. I use various modalities to address your needs, making the process seamless and focused on you. My communication style My communication is honest, direct, and supportive. I am curious about your experience and ensure I understand what you communicate. As our therapeutic relationship builds, sessions become more personal, insightful, and focused. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to the field during my teen years through my own research of effective ways to help others.
