About

Christal Hanson, LICSW

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Ready for a change but unsure where to begin? You've come to the right place. Hi, my name is Christal and I'm a licensed therapist with the skills, compassion and experience needed for your personal transformation and healing. I've been providing evidence-based mental wellness services for decades and I'm passionate about helping you understand yourself in a powerful new way, restore balance and unburden from whatever is holding you back. I'm trained in a variety of therapy approaches but have seen the greatest healing and transformation through the use of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is a proven method which assists us in evolving from feeling stuck in distressing life experiences to self understanding, mental wellness and personal growth. My advanced training and experience in EMDR have enabled me to use this approach in a way that goes far beyond an exclusive trauma focus. Through EMDR treatment, my clients have overcome a wide variety of struggles: Adverse Childhood Experiences Anxiety and Panic Attacks Grief and Loss Medical Anxiety Performance Anxiety Phobias Preverbal Trauma PTSD Relationship Issues Religious Trauma Sleep Issues Social Anxiety I have office hours in my downtown Shepherdstown office Wednesday through Friday. My office is peaceful and private to assist in your comfort and healing. I do also practice at Nurture and Balance in Martinsburg on Tuesdays only. I accept a wide variety of insurances so that cost is not a barrier to your health and well being. If you're ready to begin your personal transformation, please reach out. I offer a free 15 minute phone consult for every prospective client to ensure goodness of fit for both of us. I look forward to hearing from you.
