Hannah Scherer, MSSW, LCSW
Specializes In:
Starting therapy is a big step, and it’s normal to wonder what to say or whether things can really get better. Hannah understands this and creates a space that feels safe, welcoming, and free of judgment. Her goal is for clients to leave each session feeling heard and a little more hopeful.
Hannah works with individuals ages 11+ and supports a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and grief. She especially enjoys helping clients navigating trauma, anxiety, spirituality, gender, and sexuality.
She primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it gives clients clear, practical tools for change. She also draws from Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness strategies, always with a trauma-informed approach.
Hannah earned her master’s degree in social work and a certificate in trauma treatment from the University of Tennessee. She has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings and is honored to support clients as they heal and grow.
In her free time, Hannah enjoys reading, eating good food, spending time with loved ones, and taking walks.
