Working together, We Honor Your Story

I am passionate about working with challenges like emotional and social difficulties, cultural issues, immigrant families, grief, life transitions and relationship challenges. I specialize working with individuals, couples and families rooted in extended family systems. I would be honored to be part of your journey and together we can explore the solutions and skills that will help in your inner growth and well-being. It is my sincere belief that you have your own story, which truly is yours and only yours, and I am your keen listener.

Hannah Hawkins Esther, lmsw

Hannah has been working as a psychotherapist in private practice for two decades.  She has training in several therapy modalities including Internal Family systems, and Emotion Focused therapy.  she has also worked as a therapist in an inpatient treatment setting serving adults and adolescents. She received her Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Georgia and maintains a clinical license in good standing. 

In addition to working as a psychotherapist, she is a certified teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion.  She meditates and practices yoga and enjoys hiking. I believe all of us have the capability to develop our inner strengths, learn more about our unhelpful patterns, have meaningful relationships and create the life we want to live. I work to act as a resource as you determine what needs to heal or change and makes wholesome sense for you. Life's hardships, problematic ways of coping, or emotional pain do not necessarily mean something is broken (though it might feel that way). Discovering self sustaining ways of relating to ourselves, others, and our lives can bring in more satisfaction and happiness.
