Hannah Sherman

I specialize in trauma recovery, identity issues, mood and emotional regulation, anxiety, and depression. I work to empower adults, teens and families to identify and utilize their inherent strengths to navigate obstacles and interpersonal challenges. As a queer identified therapist, I’m committed to approaching my work with curiosity, affirmation, compassion and authenticity. I work through a collaborative and creative process that integrates various therapeutic modalities, including elements of psychodynamic, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic-based approaches. By using a compassionate, client-centered approach, I support others in developing an authentic and welcoming sense of self. My therapeutic approach employs a culturally-informed lens and is rooted in a social justice framework. I also specialize in working with queer individuals and couples navigating fertility, family building, and reproductive decision-making. This can include exploring paths such as IVF, IUI, surrogacy, adoption, or choosing to live child-free, as well as processing the emotional, relational, and systemic complexities that often arise along the way. I offer an affirming, inclusive space to explore identity, partnership dynamics, grief, hope, and uncertainty throughout this process. My approach recognizes the unique challenges queer clients may face within medical, legal, and social systems, and I strive to support clients in making empowered, values-aligned decisions while staying connected to themselves and one another. I’m available to meet with client’s virtually for online video sessions, or at my office in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.
