About

I'm Hanna, a Licensed MSW who came to therapy through an unconventional path. After witnessing the impact of the overdose epidemic in my community, it led me to pursue my MSW at Fordham, specializing in drug policy and harm reduction. I've done extensive community work including Narcan training and drug testing kit distribution. But policy and prevention work only go so far when you have a person in front of you today who needs help. My work at a methadone clinic showed me how therapy could actually change the negative thought patterns and coping mechanisms that contribute to challenges.
