Ocean State Counseling & Wellness Center

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, which always brings me back to my own journey. I’ve struggled with anxiety most of my life, but a little over two years ago, things hit a breaking point. My sleep was completely gone—sometimes 72 hours without even a few minutes of rest. I tried everything: therapy, yoga, reiki, meditation, multiple urgent care visits. I saw my primary care provider, who tried several medications, but when they weren’t working, he stopped responding & even missed my telehealth appointment. (His practice was shut down months later.) He left me feeling abandoned in one of the darkest times of my life. By the time I met with Hannah, I was desperate. I hadn’t slept in days and had been through so many failed treatments and gaslighting from health care providers. From our very first session, she made me feel safe, heard, and not alone. She reviewed everything I had tried and recommended a new medication—and within 48 hours, I was finally sleeping! I’ll never forget the relief of waking up after that first restful night. Hannah truly saved my life. I’m beyond grateful for her compassion, clinical expertise, and ongoing care and support. If you’re struggling, she is the provider you want in your corner!

We followed Hannah to ocean state counseling when she came to the practice, and she has been nothing but amazing. My husband and I both see her for medication management and she is always right there when we need her. She listens and is always there to help us when we need it the most. I also started seeing Olivia for therapy and she has also been amazing. They both make me feel comfortable enough to talk about anything. I am always recommending ocean state counseling to anyone who needs it. I can't imagine being under anyone else's care for myself and my family.
