Hannah Muller is a board-certified art therapist and licensed professional counselor based in Philadelphia, PA. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) with a concentration in Hot Glass from СÀ¶ÊÓƵ in 2016. After several years working as a glassblower, instructor, and studio manager, Hannah returned to graduate school in 2020 to pursue a career in art therapy.

During her time as a full-time glass artist, Hannah discovered the profound and meditative qualities of working with glass. The tactile, immersive experience, along with the sense of pride and accomplishment it brought, provided her with a powerful tool for calming racing thoughts and transforming creative ideas into tangible forms. This journey laid the foundation for her passion for art therapy.

Now, as a therapist, Hannah specializes in supporting the LGBT+ community and helping individuals navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and self-esteem. In her practice, she integrates a wide range of creative modalities, drawing on metaphor, skill-building techniques, and a deeply empathetic approach. While she employs various artistic mediums in her therapeutic work, glass will always hold a special place in her heart.

Looking ahead, Hannah’s long-term goal is to collaborate with a glassblowing studio to develop an art-as-therapy program specifically designed for individuals healing from trauma and PTSD.
