Meet Hannah Smith, LPC-Associate
Hi, I’m Hannah and I’m passionate about helping women, of all ages, flourish in the hard seasons of life because I believe “Even when life feels hard and unsettling, your roots run deep—you’re made to flourish where you’re planted”.
Life can feel hard and not like how you planned— maybe you never thought you’d be carrying the struggle that brought you to this point; you thought, “no, that’ll never be me”. Maybe you thought you’d be further along in life by now and managing the frustration consumes your attention. Or maybe, you doubt your capacity to keep moving forward with hope that it will become better.
Many of the women I work with express these experiences as anxious thoughts that won’t turn off, the pressure to be perfect, comparing to others and believing you’ll never measure up, or feeling like you’ve lost who you are amidst the attempt to survive. You might catch yourself thinking, “I’m exhausted and I don’t know how to keep going” , “I cant remember the last time I felt like me”, or “I don’t know how to or if I even can feel happy again.” Here, you’ll find space to reset expectations, rediscover your worth, and begin making choices that honor who you are and what you want.
So if you’re sorting through adolescence, managing the twists and turns of today’s adulthood, or experiencing the beautiful, messy-overwhelm of motherhood—I offer the opportunity to explore and grow. Together, we will work towards putting to rest the unhelpful mindsets, reconnecting with your confident self (trust me, she is in there), and replacing the beliefs that are uprooting you. This looks like putting in the work to pick out the weeds, exploring practical everyday strategies to continually operate out of an unshakable mindset, and shifting into a redefined, confident self.
You are meant to flourish, even in the hard moments in life. If you feel uprooted and are looking for someone who understands and is ready to support you by making this journey of self-refinement feel possible, scroll down to the “CONNECT” page below and let’s chat about how to move you forward and start flourishing in life.

Outside of my work, I enjoy water coloring, pickle ball, four-wheeling, being a mom, and spending time with friends and family, which keeps me grounded and reminds me how to operate out of my value system rather than stress, expectations, or worries.
