Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Melbourne, FL

Welcome to my practice! My name is Heidi Hanson and I'm a licensed therapist specializing in helping individuals navigate the challenges of PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, kids/teens with big emotions and baffling behaviors. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I work to provide a safe and supportive environment where you or you and your child can explore and address the concerns.

Hi there! It's great to meet you! I know it's not easy finding a therapist who will meet your needs and provide a safe environment to be vulnerable. A little about my therapy style, I approach therapy based on what you, the client, is initially going through and any precipitating events you may present at the first session. Because I have such compassion for helping others through their tribulations, I meet people where they are in their journey, focusing on what they know to be true, and re-empower them to trust their intuition.

As a clinical social worker my approach to therapy is rooted in a client-centered philosophy, where your unique needs and experiences are at the forefront of our work together. Through collaboration, empathy, and active listening we create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. Life transitions, family/ relationship dynamics, mental health challenges or any other situation that you have found yourself in. I am committed to empowering you so you can make positive changes in your life, improve emotional well-being and have a more fulfilling future.

With all the stresses in the world, you don't have to face it alone. I can support you in healing old wounds and transforming patterns that can lead us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged. It can be challenging trying to navigate your own struggles and needs. I believe therapy works best with collaboration so let's work together to find the most effective methods of meeting your goals.

Are you ready to begin your journey toward bettering yourself and reaching your full potential? In your search for self-discovery and transformation, I offer compassionate support as your advocate. I firmly believe that the answers you seek lie within, and through my professional guidance, you can create the positive changes you wish for in your life. I am dedicated to walking alongside you on this journey, providing a safe space where your inner strengths can flourish, and leading you towards a more fulfilling and empowered future.

Thank you for taking time to look at my profile. After giving a lot of careful thought about whether or not counseling is for you, or if it's time yet, - sifting through so many profiles can seem overwhelming. So, once again, thank you for looking. For me, counseling is about empowerment, acceptance, and connection - to self, first. I provide guidance and support to people experiencing a high level of stress. Together we will work to manage difficult life circumstances, make improvement in areas you wish, and ease/eliminate negativity.

Therapy is about making improvement, no matter how small or large. Life is not always bright and exciting, it can be dark and nerve-racking. We don't have to be perfect, we just strive to be better than yesterday. Using my years of experience guiding adults and adolescents through anxiety and depression, I will work with you to remove barriers that keep you from your goals. Utilizing various evidence-based interventions, we build confidence and identify the strengths you hold. My goal as your therapist is to walk with you on your journey, as you overcome life's struggles. "Tough times don't last, tough people do."
