I'm Hannah, PMHNP-BC. Do you suffer from anxiety and depression? Are you struggling to keep up with your work, relationship with family and friends because of anxiety and depression? If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, I am here for you. I help high performers like you to manage anxiety, depression, and mood disorders to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Hi! I'm so glad you're here! :) I know how overwhelming and intimidating it can be to look for help. A safe place and a non-judgmental/unbiased ear are highly coveted and sought after in today's society. Therapy can address infinite issues and struggles that arise in daily life. I know it worked for me-- let it work for you!
I graduated from Northwestern University and have worked with individuals of all backgrounds and ages. I live in Ohio and am licensed in Ohio, Arizona and Virginia.
I’m really glad you’re here.
Many of the people I work with are used to being capable, thoughtful, and strong for others, but inside, something feels off. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, or a sense that you’ve lost connection with yourself. Sometimes it’s not just about what’s happening right now, but patterns that have been quietly shaping your life for a long time.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Colorado, with over 20 years experience working across a wide range of settings, including community mental health, mobile crisis and co-response, skilled nursing, public health, and critical access hospitals. This background allows me to meet you where you are, whether you’re navigating everyday stress or something more complex, to bring both depth and compassion to our work.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, life transitions (career, relationships, health, identity shifts), and the lingering impact of stress or past experiences.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Charlottesville
Finding addiction therapists in Charlottesville starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, compulsive behaviors, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training or listed specialties that match what you want to address. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction frameworks. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
In a smaller city like Charlottesville, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Virginia markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in Virginia. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they talk about addiction care, including whether their approach feels respectful, non-judgmental, and aligned with your goals.
Therapy in Charlottesville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are accepting new patients. You can review bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose an in-person or virtual appointment when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
