Amanda Hann

I work with adults, young adults, and youth on challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, domestic violence, body dysmorphia, relationship difficulties, and many more. I have worked with people in many different capacities over the years, including as a crisis counsellor at a women’s shelter, with youth at a church, and within the community as a community leader. Like Aikisha I have a very client-centered approach to therapy, as you are the expert in your own life. I want to make sure that you have autonomy and that this is a collaborative partnership. 

​

The main therapeutic approaches that I utilize in session are Mindfulness and DBT. However, I have also used CBT, EFT, Art Therapy, Play Therapy, and other modalities. I have a level one certification in EFT through the The International Centre For Excellence In Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT), and am a Student Member of The Canadian Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (CAMFT). I am not offering Marriage and Family Therapy at the time, but hopefully I will be able to start soon. 

​

My goal in my career is to be able to start group Yoga Therapy, to help promote positive body image, and deal with the struggles of body dysmorphia. I would also like to write educational resources directed toward teens to help them understand the difference between healthy versus unhealthy relationships. I would also like to use Play Therapy as a way of helping families with children. It may sound like a lot of different dreams in different directions, but when you look at our interpersonal relationships these things can all be connected.
