Hello! I’m Hannah Bacos. With over five years of experience, I am dedicated to helping children, individuals, couples, and families navigate the complexities of their relationships. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have developed a person-centered approach that emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and tailors treatment to the unique needs of each individual and family.
Much of my experience has been with neurodivergent children and adults, and I draw inspiration from the works of Carl Rogers and Virginia Satir. Like Rogers, I emphasize empathy and unconditional positive regard in my person-centered therapy, while utilizing Satir’s transformative family therapy techniques to enhance communication and self-esteem. I highly value supporting families to improve communication and foster healthy, unique connections.
I believe that families are the blueprint for the adults children become, and it is essential for us to work together to support both children and those who care for them. I look forward to seeing you around the practice soon!
Hi, I'm Hannah Bacos. I'm an associate marriage and family therapist at Teen Therapy Center. I am a really big proponent of early intervention. I feel like in all of my learning and experience working with adults, uh, a lot of the work came from childhood stuff. And so I think that working with kids and families can really do a lot to support people through the ages. I also like that working with kids means working with their parents, means working with their whole family unit. I know that even though I see the kid once a week, maybe twice a week, you are their support system the rest of the week and the rest of their lives. So all of my work is going to be pushing the children, pushing the family back together, communicating with each other, finding support in each other, and eventually making me obsolete.
Being a teen today is a lot faster paced, and you're more exposed to things than I think any generation before ever has been. With phones and the twenty-four-hour news cycle, kids are more aware, and their anxiety system goes off for problems they see halfway across the world, and they need a lot of support understanding what can you do now, what's in your control now. And then also, with all this social media, there's a lot more ways for them to communicate and sadly bully each other. And so I think that makes it a lot harder to kind of figure out who you are with all of these new things popping up.
When I'm not working, I'm, I'm the eldest daughter of a pretty large family, so I do a lot of family stuff. Uh, I do a lot of cooking. Uh, I plan a lot of dinner parties. I really like to read. I watch a lot of anime, and I'm a really big proponent of everyone sleeping a lot, and that starts with me sleeping a lot. So I do make sure I sleep a lot. I know that's not a hobby, but it is hard to do, as you all know, so you gotta make sure it's a priority.
