Hannah Watkins, Psychologist

Hannah Watkins, Psy.D. helps adults gain clarity, emotional balance, and practical skills to manage life’s challenges through evidence-based psychotherapy. She provides individual therapy for adults across Massachusetts, supporting people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or struggling to focus, regulate emotions, or feel at ease in their daily lives. Her approach blends compassion with clinical precision, creating a thoughtful and collaborative space where patients can work toward meaningful, sustainable change. Dr. Watkins practices at LifeStance Health and treats adults ages 18 through 64. She specializes in ADHD, anxiety, and eating disorders, and also has experience supporting concerns related to depression, trauma, OCD, sleep difficulties, and identity-related stressors. Her work is grounded in helping patients better understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, and how to respond to internal experiences in ways that align with their values and long-term goals. A central passion of Dr. Watkins’ clinical work is supporting young adults with ADHD and individuals navigating eating disorders. She brings extensive experience helping patients build executive functioning skills, improve emotional regulation, and reduce shame or self-criticism that often accompanies these concerns. Her work in this area emphasizes practical strategies, self-compassion, and helping patients develop a more trusting relationship with their minds and bodies. Dr. Watkins draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She also has experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community and strives to provide affirming, inclusive mental health care. Her therapeutic style is collaborative, relational, and tailored to each individual’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Watkins enjoys spending quality time with her nieces, nephews, and family, as well as reading and working on puzzles.
