After the Hurt, the Healing - Helping individuals, couples & families heal

Dr. Barbara Hanna, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
If you're here, something has been broken — trust, safety, closeness, maybe even the hope that things can feel good again. Whether you're a couple trying to find your way back after infidelity, intimacy wounds, or loss... a family navigating estrangement, grief, or the aftermath of divorce... or an individual struggling to reconnect with yourself after trauma or heartbreak — you're not alone.
I specialize in helping people heal together. I work with couples and families who feel disconnected after painful experiences — betrayal, trauma, separation, illness, or loss — and guide them toward repair, reconnection, and new ways of relating. I also work with individuals who are rebuilding from within, learning to trust again, to feel again, and to open up to connection after being hurt.
You don’t have to stay stuck in the pain. Together, we can begin to heal what’s been wounded — and move toward something more whole.
When we’re in pain — especially in our relationships — it’s easy to feel like something is wrong with us. But I don’t start by looking for what’s “broken.” Instead, I look at the bigger picture of what’s happening in your life, your relationships, and your environment.
I work from a systemic, relational perspective — which means I don’t just focus on the individual in isolation. I pay close attention to the patterns, dynamics, and experiences that shape how you connect with others and how others connect with you. This approach helps us make sense of the disconnection, the conflict, or the silence in ways that go deeper than blame or quick fixes.
While I don’t focus heavily on diagnoses, I don’t ignore important factors like biology, trauma history, or mental health. I take a whole-person approach, drawing from the biopsychosocial model — meaning I consider how your body, mind, relationships, and lived experiences all influence your well-being.
You’re not a problem to be fixed. You’re a person — or a couple, or a family — with a story. And I’m here to help you make sense of that story, together.
Before opening this private practice, I worked in many different settings: (1) community mental health seeing clients of various presenting issues and various different ages, (2) community mental health focusing on sexual assault survivors, (3) several different private practices focusing primarily on couples and families, (4) in-home/in-community therapy working with children and their families. Before working as a clinician, I also worked as a counselor at a domestic violence agency, working primarily with victims of domestic violence.
