Hannah Salander, MA, LPC, ATR
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Art Therapist practicing in Colorado. 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, adults and the elderly. 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 the Front Range with an office in downtown Lafayette, Colorado. In addition to my clinical work, I have served as a hospice chaplain in the Front Range, Spiritual Director and Yoga teacher, RYT200. I believe our spiritual lives are not separate from our social, familial, political or ecological engagement, and also not separate from our growth and healing. For many of us, cultivating and nurturing a deeper spiritual awareness that is embodied and direct, can support us in living more engaged and fulfilling life. 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. |
