Hannah Green therapy praise
What Clients Say…
"Working with Hannah has been incredibly transformative and healing. Her nonjudgmental, accessible, and kind approach fosters a safe environment and her suggestions are often based on experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for support and guidance in their personal growth."
“I came to you during high-anxiety crises like contemplating a breakup. Then, as we built a trusting relationship I was ready to work on less "crisis" issues, and have support in my everyday life to go from surviving to thriving. I always thought that a therapist would be cold and clinical, "diagnose" me with a slew of labels, and psychoanalyze / judge me for my insecurities and imperfections. That couldn't be further from the way Hannah operates!”
“I have been an artist my entire life, but it wasn't until working together that I painted something from my soul, rather than trying to perfectly create something technical. I have reconnected with my deepest spiritual practice which is making art. I had been hiding my spirituality for a long time, trying to fit into tech culture, and while working together I had a safe space to explore my connection with spirituality, symbols, dreams and intuition. Hannah, you always encouraged me to share these parts of myself, even when it felt silly or trivial to me, and it is very affirming. I would recommend you to women who are deep feelers, who are intuitive and artistic and open-minded. I would recommend you for people struggling with relationships, family, co-dependency, addiction, and just general life malaise. My life has transformed because of working with you, and It's just the beginning of a rewarding journey.”
“Once I began to see that your work is truly your life's passion, not just a hard job that you power through, it made it easier for me to share my difficult feelings. You never tell me "what to do," which can be frustrating because sometimes I want somebody to just tell me the way. However, you sometimes share offerings, which are like gold. You share questions that I learn to ask myself in everyday life. During a stressful work period, you asked "what would feel good to take care of yourself now?" When dealing with family stress, you asked "What decision would feel fun to you now?" "Is there an object you want to hold onto, or a blanket to wrap around you?" You are able to sit with my emotional pain, and I don't feel like I have to worry about stressing you out or burdening you. When I get teary, you tell me to let it out and cry.”
“I was processing a major life transition and a spiritual awakening and looking for a safe and supportive guide to help me find my way!”
“You created a safe space for me to express myself at a pace I felt comfortable with, and helped me explore new sides (and shadow sides!) of my personality that needed to be able to play. You also introduced lots of creative and intuitive ways of exploring my experiences that felt organic to whatever we were talking about (never forced). I did a lot of journaling and reading during this time, and stayed willing and game to try whatever you proposed—which was always both fun and valuable so it ended up creating a virtuous cycle I think :D It always felt like I was leading the work but of course all the approaches were totally new to me—there are so many exercises and ways of thinking about my personality that I wouldn't have ever come up with on my own. Probably most meaningfully is that I feel more grounded in my spirituality. I hadn't ever really discussed it with anyone before working with you. Working with you helped me both process what I was going through and also put words to the experience. Thank you so much.”
“I feel our work together has meaningfully changed how I go about processing information and approach my life! I'm most excited about "letting myself have" all sorts of feelings and thoughts I never let myself sit with before, giving myself permission to be myself and giving others permission for feeling however they want to feel about it. I feel empowered to explore my spirituality, integrate it into my personality, and have it be part of my day-to-day life and work. I'm also very excited to explore a new career direction that better fits the kind of life I want to live now.”
“Unconditional positive regard with zero judgment, totally understood and created space for the spiritual journey I was/am on, creative and organic approaches to exploring the subconscious/shadow, wildly open-minded, knowledgeable without lecturing—more guide than teacher. I recommend Hannah for folks interested in exploring how to integrate spirituality/mysticism into their lives, folks experiencing a major life transition, folks interested in (or needing to) confront complex or dark sides of their own personality.”
“Therapy was always a highlight of my week!”
“I am so proud that I have made some big changes in my life, like getting out of toxic relationships (romantic and at work). For the first time, I am in a happy, stable and healthy romantic relationship, which is something that my soul has hungered for my entire life. I no longer lie to myself and show up more authentically for myself and for others. I am able to take scary steps toward my true purpose and feel less driven by "shoulds".”
“Hannah did a fabulous job creating a safe circle for this group. The best thing she did as a facilitator was ensuring that everyone had a chance to speak. She also planned out activities for the group to engage in while we met. Yes, I would absolutely recommend Hannah to someone looking to have a group experience.”
"Hannah has supported me in radically changing my life for the better. She has modeled loving kindness for me, which has changed my inner dialogue allowing me to blossom and change with grace. I trust her completely and feel that the care she demonstrates for me is genuine and deeply rooted. She provides a wonderful balance of honest reflection and gentle guidance. I love love love working with her!"
“What Hannah did best was show genuine care for each group member and the group as a whole. I felt supported in and out of group time by her. She showed understanding and excitement about the topic. She’s brave about sharing herself with us. I would recommend!”
"Working with Hannah with couples therapy with my partner has been PRICELESS to our relationship, and one of the main reasons my partner and I are still in relationship. I highly recommend her for couples therapy. She creates a safe space for him and I to talk openly and express freely our feelings, reactions, and stories we make up about each other, ourselves, and our relationship. My partner and I are both very passionate and alpha personality and we easily trigger each other. Hannah's loving, heart-centered therapy has created a safe place for us to express without feeling afraid or as reactive, and we are able to discuss the elephant under the rug, fears in the relationship, insecurities, hurt feelings, desires, our boundaries, and bottom lines. We also can express our love, inspiration, and desires for our connection and ways of being in relationship."
“I loved the feeling of community and sisterhood. Witnessing other people's Shadow, helped release shame around my own. I realized I am not alone on my journey, not alone in my struggles. I am really excited about Group Work now, and its potential. I also greatly appreciated having tangible exercises, books and resources to work on!”
"Hannah's solo therapy sessions with me have greatly enhanced my practice of expressing myself through words and relating to another woman. She has great listening skills and I can feel compassion from her, non-judgmental support, and she's helping me learn how to communicate my boundaries. I'm on a healing, spiritual path where my past traumas are able to be let out, expressed where I feel seen, and they begin to heal and I am able to mourn and release them."
"I am in a 12-step spiritual recovery program and so is my partner, and Hannah is familiar with the process so can understand and offer therapy and support around my recovery process. I have a history of food addiction, workaholism, alcoholism, not having boundaries/codependency. She has also helped my partner and I through sexual miscommunications and sex and love addiction issues."
“Hannah did great at creating a safe container where magic can happen.”
“Hannah was great at including everybody in the group, and giving us all chances to share. I would hands down recommend Hannah to someone looking for a group experience!”
"Her space receives lots of beautiful natural light and feels open and airy since the ceilings are tall. Next door is a fabulous crystal store with beautiful energy, tarot cards, crystals, healing tinctures, and books. I always go into the store before or after therapy as a way to bathe in the healing process. Feels so good."
"I've been working with Hannah for over 2 years with individual and couples work. She has given me the support and tools to be a better partner and individual. Hannah provides a safe environment for me to bring to forth all facets of my personality and relationship. I'm forever grateful for her help, empathy and sincerity. When I feel alone, I know she is there to help me through that moment."
"Hannah Green is one of the rare individuals I would say is a natural-born therapist. Simply being in her company is therapeutic! She is warm, kind, accepting, nonjudgemental, and deeply committed to supporting individuals and couples in their own unique journeys. It's clear that Hannah absolutely loves what she does and this, I think, makes her incredibly effective as a psychotherapist. What I also appreciate about Hannah is her deep expertise in the field of recovery, recovery maintenance, and the 12-step program. She is a true asset for the San Francisco Bay Area community in this regard because it's rare to find a heart-centered, highly skilled therapist who is also deeply familiar with recovery and the AA model. Hannah is one of those rare therapists. I can't recommend her or her services highly enough. You will be in truly excellent hands with Hannah Green as your therapist."
"Meeting and working with Hannah has turned out to be one of the best things that has ever happened in my entire life. No exaggeration. As a single mom in recovery from alcoholism she helped me out of isolation and into the beauty of reality. The support and unique perspective Hannah has offered me has been eye opening, life changing and simply beautiful. She is gentle, yet direct and I hear her. When I have trouble putting my thoughts or feelings into words she has a way of not saying them for me but drawing them out so I, myself, come up with the answers. She has assisted me in the process of restoring relationships in my life I believed were shattered as well as in forming new healthy relationships. I could go on and on. I've worked with Hannah for over two years on a weekly basis and will continue to do so. She is a gem."
