Hanna Woods
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Hi there, I’m Hanna! I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) providing psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, and couples in Richmond Hill and surrounding areas. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Guelph.
Owning my own practice allows me to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that is thoughtful and tailored to each client's unique experiences and goals. At the heart of my work is creating a supportive and collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and respected as they navigate life's challenges and work toward personal growth.

My Experience
​​​My professional journey has included years of experience working with youth & teens in the foster care environment. This experience has taught me the impacts that trauma, abuse, and early life experiences can have on the body, as well as how these experiences can shape our behaviors and relationships years later. This work strengthened my commitment to providing trauma-informed care that recognizes each person's unique story.
​
I completed my practicum at a private practice psychotherapy clinic in Barrie, ON. During my time there, I worked with a variety of clients facing various mental health concerns. Through this experience, I enhanced my therapeutic skills and realized my love for working with clients to reduce anxiety and improve self-esteem. It was amazing to see the positive impacts on these clients lives.
​
Upon opening my private practice, I realized my passion for working with couples to improve their relationships. It is beautiful to see the happiness that can come from small changes in communication and behaviour. Here, I have also taken a strong interest in working with OCD and have since completed specialized training to assist clients with this.
