Hannah Friesen, LMFT

Hi, I’m Hannah, and I help people who have spent years adapting to others finally feel like themselves.

Maybe you've always been the one holding everything together. The caretaker. The peacekeeper. The one who knows exactly what everyone else needs while feeling unsure of what you need. Or maybe you've spent so much of your life trying to be who others expected you to be that you've lost touch with who you are underneath it all.

I believe therapy is a place where you get to slow down and come home to yourself.

My work is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, which means I'm interested in understanding the deeper story. Together, we'll explore how your past experiences shape the way you relate to others, how you see yourself, and the patterns that keep showing up in your life. Not to blame the past, but to better understand you with compassion and curiosity.

I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, identity questions, religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and life transitions. As a queer therapist, I know how painful it can be to feel disconnected from yourself or caught between who you've been and who you're becoming. Therapy can be a space where all parts of your story are welcome, where you don't have to shrink yourself to belong.

I bring warmth, presence, and authenticity into the therapy room. I'm not the kind of therapist who just sits back and nods. I show up with you, ask thoughtful questions, offer reflections, and stay engaged as we make sense of your story together. I believe healing happens through relationship, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, curious, and fully yourself.

This work isn't about rushing to change who you are. It's about slowing down enough to understand yourself more deeply, untangle old wounds, and build a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.

You don't have to figure it all out alone. I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
