Hi, I'm Hannah Schoenman, LCSW.
I offer online therapy across New York & Pennsylvania for people who feel disconnected from themselves after years of putting everyone else first.
My story…
I've always been fascinated by people. Not just what they're struggling with, but what shaped them, and why two people can go through something similar and carry it so differently.
This work has taught me one thing above all else: people make sense once you understand their story.
I've yet to meet someone who's "too much," "too broken," or "beyond help." I've met people who learned to read a room before trusting their own instincts. People who became expert people-pleasers because it once kept them safe. People carrying stories that didn't even start with them.
I believe you already carry the wisdom you need. It's often just buried under years of self-doubt and adapting to survive.
So when you feel stuck, I get curious. I look at things from different angles and connect pieces that seemed unrelated. Sometimes the answer isn't trying harder. It's seeing things through a different lens.
That's when people soften. They stop asking "What's wrong with me?" and start saying, "Given everything I've been through, of course this makes sense."
What is therapy with me actually like?
I'm not the therapist who silently nods for fifty minutes while you wonder what I'm thinking. I'll ask thoughtful questions, notice patterns you may not see yet, and offer honest observations with warmth.
My role isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help quiet the noise so you can trust your own voice again.
I'll laugh with you. I'll sit with you in the hard moments. I'll celebrate your wins. And when shame or old survival strategies are running the show, I'll challenge them, with compassion, not criticism.
I want to understand you, not just the situation that brought you here: your story, what matters to you, and who you are beneath the patterns that once helped you survive.
Sometimes that means digging into the deeper "why." Sometimes it's a practical tool that fits who you are. Sometimes it's finding the one perspective that makes everything click.
Clients often tell me they feel deeply seen and safe enough to be completely honest.
When you start trusting yourself again, everything shifts: relationships get healthier, decisions get clearer, boundaries get easier, and life starts to feel like your own.
That's the work I feel honored to do.

Outside the therapy room…
You'll usually find me somewhere outdoors — Kayaking, paddleboarding, collecting beach glass, hiking, backpacking, or doing headstands.
Before I became a Social Worker, I trained as a 200-hour registered yoga teacher, Reiki I & II practitioner, and certified Wilderness First Responder — proof that my curiosity about the mind-body connection doesn't stay confined to the office.
I grew up in South Florida, spent years chasing water skiing and snow skiing in equal measure, and I'm still a sucker for a good Broadway musical and a decent tennis match.
These days I'm putting down roots on Long Island with my besties: my two kids, my husband, dog, and two cats.
