Meet Shelley Hanna

Finding your way back to yourself and your joy takes courage and I respect and appreciate the journey my clients are taking. I care about my client's goals and I ensure that it is a collaboration towards a life of purpose and meaning. I have been studying and training for over 20 years in therapeutic modalities that are based in science, compassion, building resiliance and finding your joy, happiness and well-being.

My experience as a psychologist lead me to be curious about EMDR. I trained in Basic EMDR in 2010 while working in various other psychology programs in the public sector as a consultant and treatment provider, until I decided it was time to take my experience into a whole new realm of private practice.

Using developmental modalities for psychotherapy treatment of children and adolescents and assisting adults stuck in trauma, I discovered that EMDR brings a shift for so many, so often, quickly and effectively changing the horizon for clients, from night to day.

I've continued to train in complex trauma presentation including early childhood developmental trauma, neuroscience, somatic therapies, attachment theory and completed the certification process with EMDRIA in 2022. I reach for excellence in my training and therapy with my clients, so you can shine your light on the planet again.
