LCSW, 6 years of experience
Do you feel alone or misunderstood? Does your mind get to loud? Do you struggle with sense of self or maintaining healthy relationships? I can relate. Join me and let me help you organize your thoughts. Let me help you gain a deeper sense of self awareness and regain control over your life by identifying the origins of your harmful thinking patterns, addressing repressed traumas, and learning how to combat negative anxious thoughts with tangible resources. My name is Hanna Levesque, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with several years of experience providing psychotherapy, advocacy, and program support across state systems, private practice, and telehealth platforms. Skilled in clinical assessment, biopsychosocial reporting, mitigation advocacy, and evidence-based treatment planning. Flexible and compassionate in serving diverse populations through work with the Connecticut Public Defender’s Office, GrowTherapy, and a private equine-assisted psychotherapy practice. Specialties include trauma-informed care, forensic social work, and culturally competent equine-assisted interventions.
Before our first session, I will review your intake forms and take care to familiarize myself with your name and background. I believe it’s important to pronounce names correctly and respect any preferred nicknames, so I’ll always ask to be sure. Once we’ve introduced ourselves, I’ll begin by asking what brought you to therapy. The guiding principle of my practice is to “meet clients where they are,” which means you are welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable until you know we’re a good fit. My role is to support you at the pace and depth you choose, creating a space where you feel respected, understood, and empowered.
I bring a mix of real-world experience and a genuine passion for meeting people right where they are. I’ve worked in many settings from residential programs and outpatient mental health to court services, schools, and community re-entry, and I’ve learned that healing looks different for everyone. I especially enjoy working with teens and adults as they navigate the big transitions, challenges, and questions that come with these stages of life. Together we can explore struggles like ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or simply feeling stuck or disconnected. My time in non-profit work also gave me the tools to help clients connect with resources and navigate systems like state services or the legal process—because life outside of therapy matters, too. For me, social work has never been “just a job.” It’s been a calling since childhood, when social workers helped change the course of my own life. I carry that forward by creating a safe, supportive, and down-to-earth space where you can show up as yourself, find your footing, and start building the balance and confidence you deserve.
I have experience supporting clients in a variety of settings, including residential programs, outpatient mental health and substance use treatment, court-appointed services, community re-entry, school social work, and family navigation. While I have worked with all ages, I specialize in helping teens and adults manage the transitions, stressors, and emotional challenges that often arise during these stages of life. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, with a focus on building coping skills, resilience, and confidence so that you can move forward feeling more balanced and supported.
Through talk therapy and an emphasis on disruptive thinking patterns we can use psychoanalytic therapy to explore and further understand your childhood. By seeking the origin of our adult problems and how they've been shaped through our lives we can begin to challenge and hopefully heal them.
So many of us struggle with interpersonal relationships in our daily lives, yet so many of us lack understanding of our attachment styles and how they influence our ability to function in adult relationships, both romantic and platonic. Together we can identify your attachment style, and learn skills to have healthier relationships.
Here to listen and help you organize your thoughts in as deep or shallow a level you prefer, this is a privilege to work with you and I will honor your journey.

My time with Hanna has truly shown me how much I can grow as a person and show me how dedicated I need to be to myself. She makes me feel so welcome and I always look forward to our sessions because I know that after I leave them, I will feel 100x better about myself. Hanna always makes me feel welcome and supported in our sessions!
