Collaboration, Curiosity, and Consent

Hanin is a certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) clinician and a Phase 1 Brainspotting Practitioner.

In her sessions, Hanin brings curiosity, mindfulness, and compassion, creating space for clients to build insight, develop practical coping skills, and gently release what no longer serves them.

Hanin is dedicated to reflecting on and deconstructing her own internalized beliefs and biases. She continues to reassess how she contributes and maintains ongoing white supremacy, cis and hetero normativity, and inequalities in our healthcare system. Hanin hopes to create and foster an environment that is inclusive, respectful, safe, and welcoming communities targeted for marginalization.
