Hannah Clague (she/her) is a licensed social worker. She earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan and her master’s degree in social work from the University of Chicago.

Hannah works to build warm, nonjudgmental, and responsive relationships with her clients in order to help them create the life most meaningful to them. Building from evidence-based modalities, Hannah’s perspective is influenced by training in behavioral approaches like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Hannah often incorporates mindfulness practice to her work with clients, working with individuals to strengthen their awareness of their thoughts and feelings so that they may learn to respond to them in ways that move them closer to what matters most to them.

Coming from a background in social justice-oriented theater education, Hannah intentionally incorporates creativity into her clinical practice. This could look simply like a therapeutic relationship that embraces flexibility and fun, or more direct integration of arts-based therapeutic approaches, depending on what resonates most fully for each individual client.

Hannah comes to Proactive with experience providing individual and family therapy to young people and their families who have experienced trauma, clients with ADHD diagnoses, and clients who experience anxiety and depression. Hannah has worked with clients with a wide range of backgrounds and lived experiences, including individuals with a variety of gender identities and sexual orientations. Hannah constantly works to attune her work to each client’s cultural background, making sure therapy is collaborative, transparent, and nonjudgemental across differences.
