Hannah Esmacher, M.A.

Hannah is currently serving as a CPS doctoral intern to complete her PsyD in Counseling Psychology from Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA, where she received her M.A. in Psychology in 2020. Hannah’s clinical and research work tends to revolve around identity development and intergroup processes. Her other areas of interest include working with the LGBTQIA+ community, life transitions, family of origin issues, anxiety, and perfectionism. In working with clients, she feels honored to serve as a guide in helping them to navigate stressful life events, develop their identities, foster psychological flexibility, and reach the goals that are most important to them. Hannah’s humanistic approach to counseling is most often informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with influences from Feminist/Multicultural paradigms and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).  Hannah is a devoted cat mom and is always excited to talk about new recipes, Dungeons & Dragons, or her latest crafting project.
