About Hannah Assoulin
MA, LPC Associate (she/her)
I’ve always been drawn to people’s stories—the way we make sense of our experiences, the parts we show the world, and the parts we keep hidden. That curiosity eventually led me to several years in nursing, where I spent years caring for people in some of their most vulnerable moments— sprinting between call lights, getting unexpectedly intimate with other people’s bodily fluids, and trying to hold compassion while running on no sleep. Nursing taught me that I really do love being with people in the hard stuff. And I needed a path that saw the whole human, not just the symptoms (and one where I wasn't on my feet for 12 hours straight).
From there, I fell pretty far down the rabbit hole of holistic wellness: yoga, attachment theory, breathwork, silent meditation retreats (yes, ten full days without talking), plant medicine ceremonies, and plenty of other things. Some of it was genuinely transformative. Some of it was…expensive. I started noticing how much of the wellness world can make healing feel like another thing to be good at. There’s always another book to read, retreat to attend, practice to master, or product to buy that promises you’ll finally become the version of yourself you’ve been trying to reach. But the things that have stayed with me have been much simpler: slowing down enough to notice what’s actually happening inside me. Paying attention to my body. Being honest about what I need. Learning to stay present with the parts of myself I’d rather avoid.
Now, I’m passionate about helping folx get curious about their own stories— not just what happened to them, but how those experiences still show up in their relationships, their bodies, and the ways they move through the world. I’m less interested in getting you to some perfectly healed version of yourself and more interested in helping you create a little bit more space to be human.
When I’m not in session, you’ll probably find me outside, making something with my hands, writing questionable poetry, dancing, or singing while Lola, my Pomchi, quietly judges me from the couch.
