Hannah Strong, cswa

 Hi, I'm Hannah Strong (she/her), I'm a Clinical Social Work Associate providing in person appointments in Portland, Oregon and teletherapy throughout Oregon. As a therapist, I believe that my role is to provide a space for hope and growth, so that you can move through the world in a way that feels more authentic and in-line with your spirit and values.

I work with adults & teenagers, integrating Internal Family Systems Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Together, we create a space to learn, enhance self-efficacy, and practice embodiment exercises. Our sessions may include forms of movement or crafting if they suit your needs and preferences. I particularly enjoy focusing on identifying deeply ingrained patterns of behavior and exploring past experiences. I value incorporating laughter, celebration, and community-building, ensuring a supportive and nurturing environment for your journey.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Midwestern State University and my Master of Social Work degree from Portland State University. My professional experience includes working with children and adults, as well as working in a Disability Resource Center. I truly look forward to learning more about your lived experiences and working together from a place of unconditional positive regard.

Outside of work I can be found taking dance classes around the city, reading spooky books, knitting yet another pair of socks (I have my comfort pattern!), or enjoying nature through a bike, walk, or swim.
