Listening Deeply with Max Komes
đď¸ Episode 6 | Private Practice Freedom | Hannah Ciampini
The field of psychotherapy is evolvingâand with it, a new wave of practitioners is redefining how healing and business can co-exist with purpose.
In this powerful 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 survivorsâparticularly those navigating medical trauma, religious trauma, and complex PTSDâand from her parallel journey helping therapists 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 oneâs beliefs
* The importance of rethinking traditional therapy models
* Why therapists shouldnât wait â10 yearsâ 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 moldâto 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.
