Hannah Brents

Hannah Brents, LICSW, specializes in helping adults and elders overcome the debilitating effects of perfectionism, guilt, and burnout. Many individuals find themselves overwhelmed by the fear of disappointing others or paralyzed by the pressure of meeting external standards. In her warm and supportive environment, Hannah guides her clients to unravel the shame, fear, and exhaustion that come from prioritizing others' happiness over their own. She believes that each person is the expert on their own life and empowers them to challenge the restrictive narratives they have been taught. Through an integrative approach that includes Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-focused interventions, Hannah provides a relatable and empathetic therapeutic alliance for millennials and older adults who have emerged from controlling and manipulative backgrounds. Her dedication to fostering personal growth enables clients to set meaningful boundaries, re-establish their identity, and cultivate relationships grounded in support and love. Hannah's own journey through the cycle of perfectionism, shame, and burnout informs her practice, allowing her to connect deeply with those who seek to break free from societal expectations and embrace a life defined by their own dreams and goals.
