Hannah Peirce, MSW, Registered Social Worker

Many people come to me feeling pulled into cycles of self-criticism, perfectionism, or people-pleasing. Behind these patterns lies a unique storyhow they began and the role they once played in protecting you. Over time, though, they may leave you feeling anxious, guilty, or disconnected from yourself. Therapy can help foster deeper self-awarenesstuning into your emotions as signals of needs and boundariesso they become a guide rather than a source of distress. Together, well create space to feel more grounded, clear, and connected to yourself and others. My approach is collaborative and strength-based, noticing your resilience while exploring where you feel stuck. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and psychodynamic perspectives. Each session is guided by your needs and pace, with space to reflect, explore, and gently loosen the hold of old habits of self-criticism. Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, and I deeply respect the courage it takes. I feel honoured when clients allow me into the tender places they often keep hidden. I hope that therapy offers you a non-judgmental space where your needs can be the focusa place to feel understood, supported, and encouraged to move toward the life you long for.
