Hi, I am so glad you are here. My name is Hannah Green and I am a depth psychotherapist.

I help my clients deal with life creatively and with heart. Working with individuals and couples for ongoing psychotherapy is where the majority of my work takes place. I also facilitate groups and teach workshops and classes on a variety of topics. In addition to psychotherapy, I work creatively with clients in collaborative Tarot sessions and coaching sessions for other therapists and healing professionals.

Anam Cara is the Celtic concept of a “soul friend.” A soul fiend shows up with compassion and curiosity and can sometimes offer vital support and guidance on our journey. I want to be this for my clients because I know from personal experience how transformative a soul friendship can be.

I want therapy to catalyze and nurture lasting change. During a psychotherapy session, in addition to talking, we may work experientially, look at art or imagery, go on a guided imagination journey, or build your own inner world in the sand tray.

Every method I employ is to support my clients to connect with their own depths and nurture trust in themselves. I believe it is this connection with their own depths that has helped my psychotherapy clients to recover from past trauma, face and deal with addictions, reduce stress, develop intuition and open to the Mystery. I am a compassionate advocate that will support you on your journey and help you find the gift in the challenge.

I think you will most value my:

Ability to help you connect with your own intuition, creativity and depths.
Ability to help you identify and dissolve blockages and obstacles to what you want.
Intuitive connection with the inner world.
Knowledge of relationships and attachment.
Skill in facilitating a dialogue between your conscious and unconscious mind.
Compassionate stance and ability to hold a safe container.
Way of weaving psychology and western mysticism together.
Years of experience holding space for others.

A bit about me: Being a psychotherapist is my dream job. When I am not seeing clients I enjoy exploring all kinds of art, poetry and film. I love traveling in Europe and exploring the California coastline. I enjoy good food and collecting vintage treasures. I spend a lot of personal time exploring my areas of interest and following my passions through self study and in workshops and classes. I immigrated to America from England with my family as a child. I found my life’s work as a therapist while on my own journey of recovery. Nowadays I am often traveling and working remotely from the desert, or Cornwall, or Paris…or who knows.

A bit about my training: I have a Transpersonal, Jungian and Gestalt training background. I received my Bachelors degree in Counseling Psychology from the College of Santa Fe and my Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. I am a fully licensed psychotherapist with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. I have deepened my post graduate studies by participating in ongoing seminars and trainings on various topics related to depth psychology, couples therapy, Jungian Psychology, Gestalt therapy and western mysticism. Some of my training is listed below:
