Hannah Salander, MA, LPC, ATR
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Art Therapist practicing in Colorado's front range. I graduated from Naropa University in 2008 with a master’s degree in transpersonal counseling and art therapy. I have experience working with children, families, and adults. For many years the focus of my work has been with those who's lives have been impacted by loss. I am a certified EMDR Therapist, and have a private practice seeing individual's and families in Lafayette, Colorado. In addition to my clinical work, I have served as a hospice chaplain, Spiritual Director and Yoga teacher, RYT200. I believe our spiritual lives are not separate from our social, familial, political or ecological engagement. Cultivating and nurturing a deeper spiritual awareness that is embodied and direct, can support us in living a more engaged and fulfilling life, and can support greatly on our path of healing and recovery. I completed my training as a Mashpiah (Jewish Spiritual Director) in 2016 after a three year training with Aleph: Alliance for Jewish Renewal. In addition to working currently with individuals in Spiritual Direction I serve as Mashpiah faculty for Aleph's rabbinic and cantorial programs, and am core faculty and supervisor for the current Hashpa'ah (Jewish spiritual direction) training program. I was visiting faculty at Naropa University 2018-2023, and had the pleasure of teaching in both undergraduate and graduate Art and Wilderness Therapy programs. I am currently training with the Colorado School of Energy Studies in a comprehensive 3 year training in Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy and Polarity Therapy. |
