Introduction

The journey towards self-discovery is a valuable and worthwhile endeavor, deserving of the effort required to connect with one's authentic self. At Compassionate Connections Counseling, we believe in the inherent capacity for individuals to thrive and undergo meaningful personal growth. Throughout our work together we will create an environment where vulnerability is embraced, challenging conversations occur, and discomfort is acknowledged as a catalyst for growth and change, as we explore and unravel learned patterns that may no longer serve you. About Hannah Spiro, LICSW Offering Individual Therapy with Adults and Clinical Supervision - Telehealth Only My therapeutic approach is characterized by flexibility, adapting to your unique needs and preferences. I highly value your feedback, ensuring that our collaboration is a dynamic and responsive process. Grounded in an intersectional understanding of trauma, neurodiversity, and systemic oppression, I aim not only to delve into your internal world but also to consider the impact of external factors on your well-being. Therapy with me involves taking the time to connect with your joys, struggles, history, and hopes, facilitating a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of yourself. Focusing on complex trauma and neurodiversity, I have a profound appreciation for the richness and complexity of people's stories. I am committed to supporting your growth and change while acknowledging and welcoming all facets of your identity. Furthermore, I am dedicated to my own ongoing learning on social justice topics and anti-racism, recognizing the importance of understanding my own identities (both privileged and marginalized) to create an inclusive and empathic therapeutic environment. I believe that my work as a therapist is not just about individual growth but empowering my clients to recognize and dismantle the damaging and broken systems in their lives. As the therapeutic relationship is central to our work and not every therapist is going to be the best fit for you, I encourage you to take advantage of my 15 minute free consultation. This way we can discuss what you are looking for from therapy and I can answer any questions you might have about starting therapy with me. To set up, your free consultation, email me at hspirolicsw@gmail.com or click the "Contact" button at the top or bottom of the page. I look forward to hearing from you! About Janine "Jaye" Ward, LCSW Offering Individual and Couples Therapy - Telehealth Only Do you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the life you want to be living? Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or major life transitions. Whether you’re navigating a challenging chapter or hoping to better understand yourself, we’ll work together to build insight, develop practical skills, and create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. I strive to provide a warm, affirming space that recognizes how our identities, relationships, and the broader systems we live within shape our experiences. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative relationship where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and empowered. I specialize in couples therapy, as well as helping individuals build healthier, more secure relationships—with themselves and with others. My approach is integrative, attachment-informed, and tailored to you. Rather than relying on a single type of therapy, our work will evolve as your needs change. Because the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful growth, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation to see whether we’re a good fit.
