Caroline Hanna is LMFT 143838 in California. She works with individuals, young women, teens, children, and families. She is trained in EMDR and Trauma Focus-CBT. I use various modalities to meet their needs and create a therapeutic approach that feels suitable and comfortable for their personality. This process will be offered in a safe, caring, supportive environment with compassion and free of shame and judgment.

I have had the privilege of helping people work through a wide variety of emotional, interpersonal and addiction issues for more than 20 years. By listening closely and helping clients learn to listen to themselves, I can help challenge false beliefs, learn effective life balance skills, overcome self defeating behaviors and develop more intimacy and joy in their lives.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist I am passionate about working with individuals who are curious about themselves and open to challenging their patterns. If you are interested in change, we can explore ways to feel aligned in your mind and body again. My experience stems from my start as a Medical Social Worker at a Pediatric Hospital in San Diego, CA gaining experience in crisis intervention, complex family dynamics and mental health. I transitioned into private practice working as a therapist in 2020 and have most enjoyed building relationships in support of building a stronger sense of self/to shift perspective.

The healing process of therapy is a gift that I am passionate about and if you are viewing this, you may have something happening in your life that might benefit from additional, professional support. If that sounds similar to you, you are not alone. My approach will help find deeper meaning and further your own self-understanding.

Hi! I'm Vanessa, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I'm a first generation immigrant based in San Diego, CA. Originally from South East Asia, I've worked and lived in Singapore, Taiwan, and Buffalo, NY. I love cooking, board game nights, heated blankets, and playing fetch with my dog! I love the story-telling of my clients - there's so much to be learned from the life experiences that we have, the minute details that stick with us after all these years, and the takeaways from each life circumstance.

I offer an attachment-based, family systems, whole person approach to wellness that embraces individuals across the lifespan. From children to tweens, adults, couples, and families, my goal is to create a warm and inviting space where healing and growth can flourish. Drawing from attachment theory, my therapeutic approach includes exploring the importance of early relationships and how they shape our well-being. I specialize in working with life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationships, and parenting.

I take an integrative holistic approach to therapy and conceptualize client experience across biological, psychological, social, and cultural domains that all interact over developmental time. My view is that clients seek therapy because their lives are confusing and part of the therapy process is to help provide clarity for clients (putting together the pieces of the puzzle), thus helping them to make informed life choices and find a healthful path forward. My practice is part-time and I see in-person clients at my Hillcrest office. For initial contact it is best to email me.

I work with individuals who have experienced traumatic events which they may need help overcoming. During my postdoctoral fellowship, I treated active military diagnosed with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse by conducting both individual and group therapy. Working with active military, I learned how to gain the individual's trust and confidence to let me into their lives, providing a nonjudgmental space to process life's events. My research has concentrated on men's issues. My doctoral dissertation focused on professional boxers and how they adjusted to retirement once the fame and fortune was gone.

Do you wake up with dread and anxiety and cannot get out of bed? Is trauma from the past and present affecting you? Is the emotional roller-coaster holding you back from fully becoming your true self? Is your mental health affecting other aspects of your life, like relationships, work, and physical health? Many are saturated with negative feelings and unwanted thoughts and struggle to find inner peace in the modern world. Imagine if you did not have to live this way. Imagine being in a grounded state, with stable emotions, and in control of your thoughts and feelings. Imagine finding inner peace and a clearer purpose in life.

I practice with the intention of providing culturally sensitive and trauma informed services to support clients' mental well-being.

During sessions, clients and I process their experiences and utilize their feedback to adjust interventions to ensure treatment aligns with their goals.

Our story affects the way we define our identities and give meaning to our lives. Sometimes our stories become a barrier to living our lives to the fullest and finding fulfillment in our relationships. I focus on empowering you to re-story your experiences so you can move out of limiting interpretations and arrive at, or renew, your preferred identity that is congruent with your values.

An authentic connection with your therapist is key to the healing process.
