hello, I'm hannah dea
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the owner of Magnolia Mental Health. I’ve provided mental health services in a wide range of settings — including hospitals, schools, nonprofit organizations, and private practice — which has shaped a practical, compassionate approach to care.
I also bring over 10 years of experience as an adoption social worker, supporting individuals and families through international, domestic, and embryo adoption. I understand how life transitions can hold both deep hope and real grief, often at the same time.
My practice is neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQIA+ aligned, and culturally responsive. In therapy, I blend evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT with psychodynamic insight to support meaningful, lasting growth, not just short-term relief.
