Hannah Kushnick, AMFT

You might be: -trying to work out what it means to set boundaries and self-advocate while still loving and caring for others -sensing anxiety is influencing your thoughts and behavior -seeing aftereffects from a painful or traumatic experience -newly feeling like the identity you’ve carved out for yourself no longer fits -wondering why things that seem “simple” or easy for other people don’t feel that way for you, or wondering whether it’s possible you’re neurodivergent -someone who is often called an “overthinker” or a “people-pleaser” -feeling unworthy and ashamed, with a loud inner critic -struggling with planning, starting, and executing tasks -having trouble even tuning into yourself to figure out where the pain is coming from, or what you might need or want -partners experiencing painful conflict or stuck patterns in a romantic relationship

I provide a safe, supportive environment without judgment, shame, stigma, pressure, or one-size-fits-all ideas about what makes a person or relationship healthy or functional. We’re not here to “fix” you according to what would work for someone else–we’re here to draw your map so you can learn to travel using it.

As I see it, white-supremacist post-industrial capitalism pressures us to detach from our bodies and treat ourselves like faulty machines that need to be controlled through force, instead of living beings to be nurtured and supported. In therapy, we can develop a more sustainable, enlivening, values-driven way of relating to ourselves and our communities.
