Hannah Winter, MSW

Licensed Social Worker

Verified

“Relational, goal-directed therapy for clients seeking to increase self-esteem, reduce mental health concerns and feel seen. ”

About Me

I strive to create a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore past experiences, navigate current challenges, and build meaningful change. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I work alongside clients to identify their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and move toward the life they want to create.

Approach

I utilize an eclectic approach to meet clients where they are and tailor treatment to their unique needs and goals. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and strengths-based approaches, I help clients build insight, develop coping skills, and create lasting change.

Women's Issues Being a woman often means navigating unique pressures, expectations, and life transitions that can impact your mental health and sense of self. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, relationship challenges, burnout, body image concerns, people-pleasing, career stress, or major life changes, therapy can provide a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with confidence. I work with women across many stages of life, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where you can process difficult experiences, strengthen healthy coping skills, and build more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others. Anxiety Anxiety can leave you feeling overwhelmed, constantly on edge, or trapped in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt. Together, we'll work to understand what's driving your anxiety, develop practical coping strategies, and help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your daily life. Self-esteem Struggling with self-esteem can make it difficult to recognize your worth, trust yourself, or feel confident in your relationships and decisions. Together, we'll explore the experiences and beliefs shaping your self-image, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build lasting confidence grounded in self-compassion and authenticity.
