Hannah Williams, LMFT

​I help individuals and couples who want to explore how their trauma and painful experiences impact themselves and their relationships.

You can experience more fulfillment in your life and relationships! I’m here to support you.

I’m the type of therapist who shows up as down to earth–I will believe in your strengths and will work hard by your side to help you grow.  I am warm, direct, and have a sense of humor.

I have a background in working with individuals who have experienced domestic violence, sexual abuse, sex trafficking, and childhood abuse.

Trauma can impact our lives in so many different ways.

It can make it difficult to manage life stressors, connect with our loved ones, and even connect with ourselves. 

Often times, people who’ve experienced trauma find themselves feeling stuck.

Starting the journey to rediscovering yourself can be really intimidating! It can feel scary to decide to put your needs first. Seeking support is a great first step.

I am here to support you in moving through your stuck-ness, decreasing shame, and increasing self-compassion and empowerment.  

The therapy room can be a safe and nonjudgmental container to explore your thoughts and feelings.

On a personal note…

As a therapist, I am not immune to the human condition. I have found a great deal of healing through my own personal therapy at many points in my life. It has helped me learn about myself and strengthen my relationships.

I am originally from the Bay Area and lived in Southern California for several years. In addition to being a therapist, I am an avid thrifter, true crime enthusiast, and aspiring bookworm. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my partner and loved ones, being outside in nature, and going to the movies.
