Hi! My name is Hanna Faley and I am an LCSW that works with teens and adolescents. I have been a therapist for over 20 years working in settings such as community agencies, hospitals, and schools. I have always loved working with children and teens as I too remember how difficult this time in life can be for many. I have worked with teens who experience anxiety, depression, grief, and anger issues, to name just a few. I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky where I still live today. I have a 22-year-old son and 19-year-old daughter I share my home with, as well as a very anxious goldendoodle named Blu, and two cats. I love to read, take care of the many plants I purchased during the pandemic shutdown, and watch Harry Potter marathons, in the summer you can usually find me in the pool. To schedule an appointment with me please go to- https://provider.growtherapy.com/book-appointment?id=13913&utm_source=provider-sourced&utm_medium=booking-link&utm_campaign=provider-dashboard Or call 1-786-755-1863 to have a Grow team member assist you. Thank you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I believe therapy should be an experience that you look forward to, as well as get something out of. I want to help you become the best version of yourself. During your first session with me, I will be asking lots of questions to get to know you better, and to figure out how I can best help. I ask that since I work exclusively with teens and adolescents, that the parent be available for the first session as well so that I can also get their perspective on the situation. By the end of the session, we should have a clear goal we want to accomplish moving forward.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
In treatment, I will utilize various methods and tools to help you meet your goals. Some of those methods include cognitive behavior therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, and interpersonal therapy to name but a few. I will help you find positive coping skills for dealing with the issues you are struggling with. We will work together to figure out which method works best for you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength as a therapist is my ability to build that relationship with a teen and/or adolescent. I am relatable and laid back in my approach, putting you at ease as you work through what needs to be worked through. I like to use humor as much as appropriate. I enjoy laughing and trying to find the joy in life whenever possible. I hope to help you find your joy as well!
