Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I’m Dr. Hannah Heitz, a licensed psychologist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. My background spans both clinical practice and digital mental health innovation, giving me a unique perspective on how therapy can be both deeply personal and widely accessible.
I completed my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and advanced fellowship training as a health psychologist in psycho-oncology and behavioral cardiology, where I worked closely with people managing cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic illnesses, stress, and major life transitions.
My approach is collaborative, grounded in research, and tailored to each client’s goals-whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, relationships, or building resilience in daily life.
With a compassionate and affirming approach, I create a supportive environment that honors each person's unique journey. My expertise focuses on helping clients develop effective stress management strategies, build emotional resilience, and find meaningful ways to cope with life's challenges.
I am committed to providing inclusive, culturally responsive care that respects diverse experiences and identities. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, drawing on evidence-based practices to support personal growth, healing, and self-discovery. I believe in meeting each client exactly where they are, offering guidance that is both gentle and transformative.

03 · What happens next
Dr. practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Dr.'s own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Dr. at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Dr. is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Dr..
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Provenance
Dr.'s name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Dr.. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
