Crystal Hanna

I have a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Friends University in Wichita, Kansas. I have spent many years attending my own therapy, working through the deep woods of my own healing. I know how hard it can be to show up for yourself in therapy. What you can expect from me as your therapist is someone who will truly listen to you and not dismiss you. I use a systemic lens, which means I incorporate your whole life's experience when working with you. Your family and relationships, as well as your experience within your culture and society. My approach is warm and collaborative, I believe you are the expert of your life, and my role is to come beside you in your healing. I use brain-based approaches and integration. I specialize in trauma, C-PTSD, parenting struggles, perinatal and birth trauma, marriage therapy, and the somatic experience; providing a consistent attachment to the body, mind and emotional state. My main approaches are using Attachment-Based Therapy. Narrative Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Strength-Based, Psychoanalytic Theory and Internal Family Systems with integrating Somatic Experiencing throughout. I use Sand Tray Therapy with all ages. I am working towards a certification in Gottman therapy for use in couples therapy. I welcome all racial, ethnic, spiritual, sexual and gender identities and weave in being culturally sensitive and inclusive into all my sessions. I value each each person and believe all humans deserve the utmost respect and honor. I tailor my therapeutic approach individually to each client and can ebb and flow with the needs that come with each session. Lastly, I also think therapy should not only include hard work and all that comes with it, but it should also be fun and I include humor and offer a laid-back atmosphere. It should be a safe place that we can enjoy the process and celebrate your successes.
