Hossannah Asuncion

she/her · MHC-LP, Staff Therapist

Hossannah is a queer Filipina immigrant and Mental Health Counselor-LP. Her approach honors cultural identity while gently questioning the systems and stories we've inherited. She centers storytelling, creativity, and collaboration to support clients navigating identity, intergenerational trauma, self-worth, and relationships.

Hossannah focuses on the connection between story, body, and identity in order to support meaningful and compassionate change. She believes in the power of cultural legacy, including both its wounds and its wisdom, and supports clients in reclaiming authorship over their lives.

She works with individuals and couples of diverse identities, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, TGNC/NB folks, immigrants, and adult children of immigrants. Her goal is to offer a warm, grounded space where your complexity is welcomed and honored.
