Hannah Bailey will be serving in the capacity of Vice President. Hannah completed her MA in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling in 2015 and has been practicing in Chicagoland since. She started working as a DMT in the Expressive Therapy Department at Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital with children through older adults, inpatient and outpatient, in all of their programming. For the last 7 years, Hannah has worked as an outpatient therapist and has been working independently since 2022. Transitioning from working with all populations at ABBHH helped her hone in on the clients she can best serve in an outpatient setting. She is passionate about bringing embodiment into her work with clients working through eating disorders, life transitions, anxiety, and depression. She also loves working with student athletes, dancers, and other creatives. Hannah is also an E-RYT, recently completing her advanced yoga teacher training this past fall. She is currently working on workshops and projects that integrate the knowledge she has gained in the last 11 years and is excited to help re-enliven the IL Chapter of the ADTA in the upcoming year.
