Episode 6 🎙️
Private Practice Freedom | Hannah Ciampini
The field of psychotherapy is evolving—and with it, a new wave of practitioners is redefining how healing and business can co-exist with purpose…
In this week’s episode of Listening Deeply, Max Komes sits down with Hannah Ciampini, a licensed clinical social worker, EMDR specialist, and private practice consultant based in Pensacola, Florida. Hannah brings deep insight from her clinical work with trauma survivors—particularly those navigating medical trauma, religious trauma, and complex PTSD. She also has a passion for working with therapists to reclaim autonomy through customized private practice models.
Together, we explore:
What makes EMDR therapy effective and transformative
The mind-body connection in healing from chronic illness and trauma
How religious trauma manifests and how therapy can restore connection to one’s beliefs
The importance of rethinking traditional therapy models
Why therapists shouldn’t wait “10 years” to start their private practice
How to niche down, ethically market yourself, and design a practice that reflects your values
Hannah emphasizes that therapists are not only allowed but encouraged to break the mold—to build practices that support well-being, creativity, and sustainability. She also reminds us that clients benefit most when their therapists are rested, aligned, and truly present.
Whether you're a clinician navigating burnout, a trauma survivor seeking clarity, or someone curious about the evolving mental health field, this episode offers valuable insights and grounded inspiration.
