Hannah Samawi, LCSW

I believe healing and change is possible despite the challenges (or upbringings) we face. I invite clients to be curious about all the possibilities that come along with recovery and restoration. Anytime we start something new, it can feel scary and overwhelming. Connection and co-regulation foster safety, awareness, and self-compassion.

Rebecca Callaway, LPC

As a counselor, my goal is to help each individual reach their own goals and recognize that they are already amazing people. Depression, anxiety, phobias, grief, trauma, and addiction are all areas that I am trained in, but these issues do not define who my patients are. Rather, they are obstacles in life that can be managed and even overcome with their strength and resilience that is already present.

Angela Hill, LMSW, LMT

Healing begins when we learn to understand ourselves. I help adults, children, adolescents and families shine a compassionate light on their thoughts, feelings, and patterns of relating to find new possibilities beyond the habitual survival strategies that have helped you to defend against stress and trauma. Therapy can give you the tools and awareness to make the changes that you want to make while you learn to experience a greater sense of safety and resilience, recover from difficult experiences…
