Master’s Level, Pre-Licensed Therapist

 


Meet Hannah Lipschutz, M.A.

I am a master’s level, pre-licensed therapist in Rhode Island, where I offer online and in-person counseling. I work with adolescents, college students, and adults. My areas of specialty are trauma, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, and young adults. I also frequently work with clients with eating disorders, chronic pain, and disabilities. I am a person-centered therapist and prioritize therapy that is tailored to the needs of each client by incorporating evidence-based practice such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, and Emotion-focused therapy (EFT).

My Background

I earned my Master’s degree in Professional Clinical Counseling from the Loyola University Maryland. I received additional training through a clinical internship, where I worked with low-income adolescents and young adults who had experienced trauma. I have training in EFT, EMDR, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care. In addition, I have training in treating eating disorders at both a residential and partial hospitalization levels of care.

My Approach & Philosophy

I aim to create a supportive, nurturing environment in which my client feels safe and empowered to explore, process, and challenge themselves. I value what each client brings into therapy and aim to understand clients’ insights, unique qualities, and experiences. All behavior makes sense in context, and we all live within systems (family, school, friends, etc.) that impact us. I support my clients in exploring, understanding, and confronting these systems and their impact on their well-being. I am intentional about creating a radically accepting space that works to validate and normalize my clients’ experiences.

I would be happy to talk to you further and answer any questions you may have, and I look forward to working with you!

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy, also known as insight-oriented therapy, focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in a person’s present behavior. The goals of  psychodynamic therapy  are a client’s self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behavior. ​Whether it be a long term problem or temporary life circumstance prompting someone to seek therapy, we understand that every individual client, session, and situation is unique. Our therapists have expertise in specific modalities of therapy and utilize cutting edge, evidence-based therapy techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), mindfulness strategies, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
