Hannah Rifkin, MA, LPC

I work with teens and adults who are learning to feel at home within themselves again—those carrying quiet heaviness around self-esteem, body image, or relationships that no longer feel steady. So many of the people I meet are moving through anxiety, depression, or a loss of connection to who they are beneath the noise of expectation and comparison. I also support people through the tender seasons of pregnancy and postpartum, when identity and emotions shift in ways that can feel both beautiful and disorienting. These chapters often stir up feelings we’re taught to hide—confusion, doubt, even grief—right alongside love and joy. My approach is warm and collaborative, rooted in curiosity rather than correction. Our work will unfold at your pace, blending conversation with body-based practices like mindfulness, somatic awareness, Gestalt, breathwork, and time in nature. When structure or new tools are needed, I draw from CBT, DBT, and ACT to help translate insight into daily life. My hope is that you leave each session feeling a little more steady, self-assured, and at ease in your own skin —so that even in moments of uncertainty, you feel more grounded in who you are and where you’re headed. In our work together, nothing needs to be hidden. Every part of you belongs here.
