About
Dr. Emily Hanna is a licensed clinical psychologist committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, OCD, and related disorders. She was afforded the opportunity to learn from experts in the field of OCD and anxiety treatment throughout her training.
​
She earned her Masters of Social Work at the University of Michigan, where she completed her internship at Michigan Medicine Department of Psychiatry, Child/Adolescent Division. Dr. Hanna then earned her Doctor of Psychology at Pepperdine University, during which she received advanced training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) at the UCLA Child OCD Intensive Outpatient Program. During her predoctoral residency at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), she worked in a range of levels of care, from outpatient to inpatient psychiatric services. At URMC, Dr. Hanna was a part of the Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) Service and continues to deliver this parent-mediated treatment for childhood anxiety disorders.
Dr. Hanna completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the OCD & Anxiety Program of Southern California, where she learned from the clinicians of the Bergen 4-Day Treatment (B4DT) Clinic at Haukeland University Hospital - Bergen, Norway. She is a certified provider of the B4DT for OCD and holds an advanced certification in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) from the Centre for Mindfulness Studies.​
Her aim is to aid clients’ efforts to reach their individual treatment goals, enhance their overall emotional wellness, and feel empowered in their daily lives. Above all, Dr. Hanna strives to create an unconditionally supportive environment for clients of all backgrounds.

Professional Consultation
​for exposure-based therapy
Note: I offer a complimentary, brief phone consult to get a sense of how I may be of help. From there, we either schedule an evaluation, or I will provide referrals if another type of service may be more appropriate. During the evaluation, we will discuss what level of care (outpatient or intensive outpatient) would be most beneficial.

I also offer extended sessions to offer a more concentrated treatment approach, if applicable.
