Services I provide:
For the first time, a lot of your life is really up to you. What you want. Who you spend time with. What you believe. Who you want to become. That freedom can feel exciting, but it can also leave you second-guessing everything. What if I make the wrong choice? What if I disappoint someone? What if what I want is different from what people expect of me? You may feel caught between who you’ve always been expected to be and who you’re becoming. You want to move forward, but part of you is afraid to choose a direction at all.

Hi, I’m Hannah Rutherford, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor at Roots Psychotherapy in College Station, TX.

I work with teens and adults, and I especially enjoy working with young women figuring out who they are and what they want as they move into adulthood. That can  mean navigating college, relationships, grief, family expectations, identity, or simply the pressure of making decisions that suddenly feel like they’re yours to make.

You don’t need to know exactly where you’re headed. We can start with where you feel stuck.

Your Therapy Experience

Therapy with me is collaborative and flexible, where you can bring your full self - the sarcastic, guarded, vulnerable, hopeful parts, and know that none of it is too much. We will have deep conversations, but we will also invite lightness and laughter in with us, as humor can be a powerful tool in healing. Let’s talk about the hard stuff - the sadness, the stuck-ness, the pain that brought you to therapy, but let’s also make space for your favorite parts of life. Together, we’ll explore these challenges, identify your strengths, build resilience, and work toward the life you want to live.

Specialties & Approach

A lot of my work is about getting curious about the places you feel stuck instead of criticizing yourself for being there. We can look at the fears, expectations, or past experiences that may be keeping you from moving forward, while also paying attention to what matters to you and the person you’re becoming.

We don’t have to decide there’s one “right” path. We can explore, try new things, and build trust in yourself to move toward what you want, even when it feels uncomfortable.

About Me

I’m a sucker for seasonal iced drinks from Dutch Bros! I can’t resist trying every new flavor! When I’m not sipping on something sweet, you’ll find me at Michaels buying yarn for my crochet projects (even though I already have way too much at home). And if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that creamy jalapeño dip from Chuys practically runs through my veins. That’s my ultimate comfort food! My favorite quote is:

"You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously." - Sophia Bush
