Elizabeth Hanson, LICSW (she/they)

Medora Mental Health

I approach therapy by establishing a strong foundation of collaboration, safety, and acceptance. This involves meeting you where you are, understanding what brings you to therapy, identifying current barriers to healing, and equipping you with tools to experience change.

My framework is informed by exploring relational histories, family of origin, as well as the life experiences that have shaped your unique narrative. In addition, I am committed to working with clients who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community. As a white, queer-identified and gender queer woman, I believe strongly in honoring all identities while exploring how they are shaped by your generational history and intersect with your daily life.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker serving adolescents, adults, and couples, experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, effects of trauma, issues related to gender and/or sexuality, life transitions, and challenges within interpersonal relationships. I utilize a variety of modalities to inform my approach, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skills, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-based techniques.

In addition, I am trained as a Level 2 Clinical Complex Trauma Professional. I believe in using an integrative approach that honors mind-body wellness to promote resilience and change.
