Meet Hannah

     Hannah Breckenridge, LCSW-C

       Clinician & Owner

We want to make sure you feel comfortable and confident working with us.

So, if you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.



OCD has been a part of my life since I can remember. I often believed there was little I or anyone else could do to help. However, I eventually saw an OCD specialist and it changed my life. 

Now, I am passionate about helping others live (and enjoy!) their lives in spite (and because) of uncertainty. 

I am committed to providing my clients with the best care possible, so I exclusively use evidence-based treatments such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help my clients and their families. 

I pride myself on staying up to date on the most recent research available on OCD, Autism, and related issues. I also regularly seek out training opportunities that will help me provide my clients with the best treatment available.

In addition, I often draw from my professional and lived experience to help build strong and lasting relationships with my clients. 

Those that know me best say I am an authentic, down to earth, and compassionate person with a good sense of humor. And perhaps most importantly, I love what I do!

In my free time I enjoy hiking, exercising, camping, gardening, cooking/baking, and spending time with my husband and daughter.
