Your feelings matter, but they don’t always tell the full story.

For example, anxiety might say, “I’m in danger,” when you’re actually safe. Shame might say, “I’m unworthy,” when you’re deeply valuable.

Therapy teaches you to pause, notice, question, and regulate feelings rather than letting them run the show.

Therapy helps you dig beneath the surface.

Why do certain patterns keep showing up in relationships? Why does anxiety feel so heavy? Why do we react the way we do?

Together, we can explore the “why” so you can move toward lasting change.

Chandler sees therapy like a story. 📚

Every chapter you’ve lived shapes the one you’re in now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t write something new.

Chandler is EMDR trained and especially passionate about creating safe, affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ and POC clients, people whose stories haven’t always been heard. Whether you’re a teen figuring things out, or an adult ready to break old patterns, Chandler will meet you with compassion and flexibility.

We’re so grateful when colleagues and clients share kind words about their experience with us.

At The Better You Institute, we specialize in areas like s*x therapy, relationships, trauma, and life transitions, but at the heart of it all is connection. Feeling safe, heard, and understood is what makes therapy powerful.

Therapy looks different for everyone. For some, it’s weekly EMDR sessions to process trauma. For others, it’s couples therapy to get better at communication and rebuild connection. For many, it’s simply having one place where their story can be heard without judgment and given the tools to move forward.

✨ Pro tip: You don’t need to know exactly what you want to “work on.” Your therapist will help uncover patterns that keep you stuck and give you a clear path forward.

Almost every client admits that the idea of therapy feels scarier than the reality.

Here’s why:
Worried about silence? Your therapist gently guides the conversation. Tears? They’re welcomed, not judged. Awkwardness? That often fades after the first 10 minutes.

The biggest surprise is how relieving it feels to finally say the things you’ve been carrying alone.

Hannah believes therapy should feel like a safe conversation, one where you finally feel seen, understood, and valued. 😊

She works with both individuals and couples, and one of her favorite things to remind clients is that conflict itself isn’t the problem. The real challenge is when we stop feeling connected.

In sessions, Hannah helps couples rebuild trust, improve communication, and find new ways to come back together. And with individuals, she helps people through life transitions, grief, and self-discovery with curiosity and compassion.

Journaling helps you practice the kind of reflection therapy deepens. Try this prompt today:
“What do I want to feel more of in my life and relationships?”

Maybe it’s safety, joy, intimacy, or confidence. Naming what you long for is the first step to creating it. And if you feel stuck, therapy offers the questions and insights that move you forward. ✨
