"I believe therapy is most transformative when care and attention are given to the unique, complex relationship between therapist and client. I view the therapeutic relationship as an environment where change is facilitated with tenderness, not force."
- Hannah Sandle
Hannah Sandle is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who believes therapy is most transformative when care and attention are given to the unique, complex relationship between therapist and client.
With particular expertise in couples therapy, teen counseling, and substance use treatment, she creates a therapeutic environment where change is facilitated with tenderness rather than force. Hannah excels at working with couples navigating relationship challenges, teens experiencing identity development and life transitions, and adults working through substance use concerns. Her approach welcomes clients to bring their authentic selves to therapy, combining warmth, wit, and fresh perspectives to help them discover new ways of being and relating.
Her therapeutic approach integrates multiple modalities with special attention to psychodynamic and somatic frameworks. Drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic techniques, Somatic Experiencing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Gestalt principles, Hannah offers a comprehensive, integrative approach that addresses both mind and body in the healing process. Her training in cognitive/behavioral, psychodynamic, and body-based therapies allows her to work with the whole person—attending not just to thoughts and behaviors, but to how emotions and experiences live in the body and shape relational patterns. This integrative perspective is particularly effective for clients whose struggles manifest both emotionally and physically.
With a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, Hannah brings contemporary training and specialized expertise to her therapeutic practice. She has received advanced training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Somatic Experiencing, equipping her with specialized tools for addressing trauma's impact on both psychological and physiological levels. This combination of relational depth and body-based awareness informs her work across all populations, whether she's helping couples repair ruptures in their connection, supporting teens through developmental challenges, or guiding adults through recovery and life transitions.
Outside the therapy room, Hannah embraces a balanced approach to self-care that mirrors the holistic perspective she brings to her clinical work. She finds empowerment and grounding through lifting weights, recognizing the mental clarity and physical strength that come from this practice. Hannah expresses her creative side through singing, finding joy in vocal expression and the emotional release that music provides. She also values the art of lounging—the intentional practice of rest and doing nothing in a culture that often demands constant productivity. These varied interests reflect her understanding that well-being encompasses strength, creativity, rest, and authentic self-expression.
Hannah brings specialized training in both psychodynamic and somatic therapies, allowing her to address how emotions, trauma, and relational patterns manifest in both mind and body for deeper, more integrated healing.
She creates a therapeutic relationship characterized by warmth, wit, and authentic connection, where clients feel welcomed to show up as their full selves without pretense or performance.
Hannah's integrative approach draws from multiple evidence-based modalities—including DBT, ACT, Gestalt, psychodynamic, and Somatic Experiencing—allowing her to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and readiness for different types of work.
