Hannah Romain, LMSW, LCSW

Hi, I’m Hannah! I specialize in compassionate, evidence-based therapy for individuals with anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, phobias, and related challenges. Whether you, your child, or someone you love is impacted by one of these challenges - I’m so glad you’ve found yourself here. You deserve treatment that works. Many of my clients reach out when they are struggling to manage these things on their own or when they have found that the ways they’ve dealt with these challenges in the past just aren’t working anymore. By tailoring evidence-based therapy to each person’s unique needs and goals, it is my great privilege to help my clients get unstuck from anxiety and OCD and reconnect to the things that matter most.

I specialize in working with:

  • Individuals

  • Parents of children or adolescents with anxiety or OCD

  • New or expecting mothers experiencing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and/or OCD

THERAPIES I SPECIALIZE IN:

Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)

ERP is the gold standard treatment for OCD and also is highly effective for the treatment of phobias, panic attacks, and similar disorders. Using ERP, clients confront the triggers of their fears or obsessive thoughts and disengage from unhelpful or compulsive behaviors that normally come with feeling anxious or distressed. Many people find that ERP significantly reduces their anxiety, decreases their time spent avoiding things or engaging in unhelpful behaviors, and ultimately enables them to live a more full, meaningful life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is one of the most well-researched evidence-based therapies for anxiety disorders. With the support of a well-trained therapist, CBT can help individuals to understand the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and create meaningful change in the ways they think, feel, and act. Often, this means feeling less anxious, less controlled by worry thoughts, and more able to participate in the activities that you value most.

Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE)

SPACE is a parent-based treatment program for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, and related challenges. This specialized therapy was developed by Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center. SPACE treats children and adolescents with anxiety and OCD through a fully parent-based program. This therapy can be highly beneficial for parents of children with separation anxiety, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, fears and phobias, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Parents who participate in SPACE often experience an improvement in their child’s experience of anxiety and a significant increase in their own confidence to support their child effectively.
