Relationally Driven Evidence-Based Therapy for Teens and Young Adults in Edmond, OK.
Hannah’s Therapy Style
Relational
The relationship between you and your therapist isn’t just a background detail of therapy. It is actually one of the strongest predictors of whether therapy helps. When you feel safe, understood, and not judged, it becomes easier to be honest and explore what’s going on beneath the surface. The therapy relationship is also a “practice space” where patterns from other relationships naturally show up. Working through these patterns together creates new experiences of trust, safety, and repair, which then translate into your life outside of the therapy room.
Evidence-Based
Evidence-based therapy uses approaches that have been carefully researched and shown to be effective. It matters because it increases the likelihood that therapy will help, protects clients from ineffective or harmful methods, and ensures your therapist is using strategies grounded in science, not just opinion. At the same time, evidence-based therapy is tailored to each person, combining research with your unique goals, values, and lived experience.
Client-Centered
Client-centered therapy is based on the belief that you are the expert on your own life. You know your history, values, culture, and experiences better than anyone else. In this approach, the therapist doesn’t act as an “all-knowing” authority, but as a compassionate guide who helps reconnect you with your own insight and strengths. Therapy becomes a collaborative process focused on your goals, at your pace, in a space of empathy and non-judgement. Instead of being told what to do, you are supported in discovering what feels authentic and right for you.
