Michelle Hannah, M.A.
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Relational, Existential, and Experiential Psychotherapy
I've always been interested in the deeper layers of the human experience and have searched for a profession that I find meaningful. The marriage of the two resulted in my pursuit of psychotherapy studies at The Gestalt Institute of Toronto. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) I am looking to connect with people who feel stuck and need someone to talk to.
I spend a lot of time, especially at the beginning, getting to know you and how you see the world. I am interested in what you find meaningful and how that meaning shapes your life. Through exploring your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviours, we will strengthen your understanding of yourself with the emphasis on gaining insight of who you are, as you are, at this moment in time.
I listen attentively to your struggles and thoughtfully and empathically respond. We will spend time linking your body sensations with your emotions and your emotions with your thoughts. By creating a more integrative experience of self, you will move through life with more attunement and alignment. I would define wellness as taking in and feeling the wholeness of your experience and choosing how to respond through your conscious values, beliefs and desires. In this way you can live an integrated,
meaningful, and fully alive, human experience.
Services Offered:
In-person or video sessions
Free initial phone consultation
Credentials:
