About 
Hannah Parker, LCSW

Hi, I’m Hannah, and I’m so glad you’re here. Helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges has been my passion for over nine years. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Development and earned my master’s in Social Work in 2022. Throughout my seven years in the mental health field, I’ve focused on supporting families, children, and individuals in creating meaningful change.

I have specialized training in trauma and emotional regulation, which allows me to help clients work through past hurts and develop tools to navigate life’s ups and downs. One area close to my heart is supporting military families. I understand the unique challenges they face and provide a compassionate space to help them build resilience and thrive.

On a personal note, I’m a proud mom of four children, two of whom have special needs. This has given me a deep, personal understanding of the joys and struggles of parenting, especially when navigating complex challenges. I’m incredibly attuned to the needs of both children and parents, and I bring this perspective into my work every day.

To make therapy as accessible as possible, I offer telehealth services so you can connect with me from the comfort of your home. Whether you’re working through personal struggles, managing family dynamics, or simply seeking a supportive space, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey.

Statement of Integration

What it means to practice professional psychotherapy informed by a Christian Worldview

Integrated Psychotherapy

Caliber Counseling utilizes an integrated approach to psychotherapy which utilizes as bio/psycho/social/spiritual model of humanity.  This model affirms the dignity and depravity of all humans.   An integrated model relies on sound empirical behavioral science, evidence based practices, and a clearly articulated Christian theology.  The Integrated Psychotherapist often functions in the middle ground when providing treatment in one or all of the bio/psycho/social/spiritual domains.  Our goal is wholistic wellness.  We acknowledge that some clients come to treatment for the reduction of symptoms while others come for a spiritual transformation.  We affirm the autonomy and self-determination of the client and see this as a coinciding pillar of the biblical understanding of free will and personal responsibility.  From a “field of study” perspective, we see psychology as a subset of theology.   Integration goes beyond having a therapist that is a Christian and allows the therapist to rely on a Christian worldview for a definition of what is healthy and to utilize Christian practices as interventions for treatment goals.   It is our understanding that we provide something distinctively different from advice, pastoral care, or Christian education, even though we will call upon these at times. 

 

We utilize professional clinical practices, competencies, ethics, language, and relationships.  Caliber Counseling Psychotherapists are members of the American Mental Health Counselor’s Association (AMHCA).  We affirm the AMHCA and the American Association of Christian Counselor’s (AACC) Code of ethics.
