What If the Feeling Isn’t You?

with Dr. Andrew Hahn, Creator of Life-Centered Therapy

Dr. Nicole Dolan sits down with Dr. Andrew Hahn for a fascinating exploration of Life-Centered Therapy, consciousness, and the stories our bodies may carry.

What if the sensations we struggle with are something to listen to, rather than something we are?

A conversation about healing, identity, intuition, and what can happen when we become willing to experience what we’ve spent our lives trying to avoid.

Meet Morgan

My path to becoming a therapist has not been a straight one. I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University Santa Barbara on the path toward licensure as both a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). Before entering the mental health field, I spent nearly two decades working in the wine industry. While the work itself was very different, much of what I valued most about it was deeply relational: connecting with people, listening, building trust, navigating different perspectives, and developing meaningful relationships across cultures and communities. Eventually, I felt drawn toward work that allowed me to explore that human connection more deeply.

More recently, I completed my yoga teacher certification in Bali, an experience that deepened my appreciation for the connection between our emotional and physical experiences and the importance of slowing down enough to notice what is happening within us.

I am part of a blended family, which has given me a personal appreciation for the complexity of bringing together different histories, relationships, loyalties, parenting styles, and roles. It has also shaped my interest in working with couples and blended families and my appreciation for the many ways we create, define, and experience family.

At the center of my approach is the belief that the relationship between therapist and client matters deeply. I am person-centered, collaborative, engaged, and direct. I value curiosity over judgment and believe that you are ultimately the expert on your own life. Rather than approaching therapy with a predetermined idea of where you should end up, I want to understand what healing, growth, or success means to you.

I am interested in working with individuals and couples navigating grief and loss, trauma, relationships, blended families, life transitions, and peripartum and postpartum experiences. I hope to offer a space where you can arrive as you are, be met with honesty and curiosity, and explore where you would like to go next.

As Carl Rogers wrote, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Grief and loss, Relationship issues, Life transitions, Burnout and stress, Identity development, Family dynamics, Family conflict, Self-esteem/self-worth, Attachment issues, Spirituality, Separation/Divorce, Sex and Intimacy, Women’s issues, Communication Skills, Sexual Dysfunctions, Parenting, Faith Issues, Addiction and Recovery, Motherhood, Postpartum, Existential issues

Meet Bettina

Hello! In our time together, we can explore how it is to exist as you are in the moment, how you wish to be, and where you are coming from that has brought you into your current state of being. I embody a creative and health-focused lens that can inspire, motivate, ground, and refresh perspectives. Elements of play, lightness, humor alongside depth, attentiveness, profound curiosity, and compassion provide a comprehensive approach supporting you towards integrating insights into your daily life.

My approach draws from somatic (body-based) approaches. The dynamic that emerges in the therapeutic space is ripe potential for discovering how our interacting bodies navigate the space as well as the richness of your own internal sensations. Informed through the bodywork and yoga classes I offer as well as practices of meditation, qi gong, dance, swimming, and hiking, the rootedness within my own being offers sturdy ground for any experiences, subtle to grand, that may arise in the space. Being in nature, too, has been essential to my own deepening of belonging and that earthly connection will surely find its way into our work together.

Expressive arts modalities such as drumming, juggling, singing, and visual art are also a large component of my own processing and a welcome avenue to dive into together. The bilateral rhythmic stimulation of drumming and juggling, the vibrations and breath emanating from vocal cords, and the creative symbolism inherent in art invites nervous systems to soothe, express, comprehend, release, and play.

I’m currently a pre-licensed psychotherapist completing a Master’s of Clinical Psychology with Somatic Concentration at Antioch University in Santa Barbara while living in San Luis Obispo. Individuals seeking to address their challenges surrounding chronic pain, eating behaviors, autistic tendencies, neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ identities, and spiritual connection are welcome as well as all those desiring assistance in navigating life’s unknowns. With a listening heart, I’ll be patiently and enthusiastically beside you as you explore your journey.

Areas of Focus:

Anxiety, Depression, Life transitions, Burnout and stress, Identity development, Self-esteem/self-worth, LGBTQ+ mental health, Spirituality, Chronic illness or pain, Neurodivergence – Autism, Neurodivergence – ADHD, Attachment, OCD, Sex and Intimacy, Women’s issues, Existential issues, Bipolar

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-based Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Humanistic / Client-centered, Strengths-based, Play Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy

Meet Alexis

I am working on finishing my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. My style has more of a casual, peer-to-peer feel as I have a lot of personal experience with most of the adversity life can offer and feel this style lends itself well to building rapport and trust with my clients. I prefer a humanistic, whole person approach rather than pathologizing labels, but sometimes labels can also be helpful to name and normalize the struggles someone may go through in life. While I don’t have my master’s degree yet, I have an associate’s degree in Liberal Arts with a special certification in Addiction Treatment, a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a concentration in Mental Health, a level three state certification in addiction treatment (CADC III), and am certified through UC Berkeley in Sleep Therapy. I have personal and professional experience with addiction and recovery, mild/moderate mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and panic disorder, relationship issues, LGBTQIA+ and identity navigation, stress and burnout.

I have been working in the mental/behavioral health field for about 5 years now and continue to build on my experience working with a wide range of clients. The bulk of this experience so far has been with adults of all ages, but I am excited to gain more experience with couples, families, and children. The therapeutic approaches I utilize are cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, somatic work and mindfulness, spirituality, emotionally focused therapy, and internal family systems (parts work). My philosophy is that all humans need some sense of meaning and purpose to motivate them and create their personal definition of happiness and success in life, whatever that means to them. I aim to help clients achieve this by exploring their personal identity and encouraging them to take action steps.

I look forward to working with you.

I completed my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy/Professional Clinical Counselor (MFT/PCC) at the University of Massachusetts Global.

“Learn to light a candle in the darkest moments of someone’s life. Be the light that helps others see; it is what gives life its deepest significance.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Meet Scott M.

I received my M.S. in Counseling with an emphasis on Nature-Based Counseling through Prescott College and have been providing therapeutic support for individuals, couples, and families since 2023. Before I stepped into my current role, I facilitated outdoor programs as a naturalist-mentor. It was during this time that I began to see how building internal skills that promote creativity and awareness can have a strong therapeutic potential. I incorporate mindfulness-based and emotionally focused practices to assist in fostering deeper sense of meaning and connection to ourselves and the world around us. I believe therapy is most beneficial when a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative space is created between the therapist and those seeking support. It is in this environment that true growth and healing can take place. I look forward to working together to find what that looks like for you.

Areas of Focus:

Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Grief and loss, Relationship issues, Life transitions, Burnout and stress, Identity development, Self-esteem/self-worth, Neurodivergence – Autism, Neurodivergence – ADHD, Attachment, OCD, Existential issues

Meet Kristen

I believe all pain stems from disconnection. Disconnection from self, others, and a greater belonging to the natural world. As a social species, we need love and support from one another to thrive and co-create a felt sense of safety. I view trauma as the fragmentation of painful experiences that get stuck within the body. Utilizing talk therapy, somatic, and mindfulness-based practices we will gently untangle what is keeping you stuck to create a more integrated sense of wholeness. Whether you are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship problems, or a life transition, I am honored to assist you in making meaningful internal and external change to co-create a life of fulfillment, connection, ease, and purpose. I value collaboration and use an integrative approach to tailor the style of therapy to fit your needs and goals. Together we will move through and learn from life’s difficulties to engender more harmony within yourself, your relationships, and your environment.
