Full Recovery is PossibleReclaim Your Life.
Holistic Recovery from Eating Disorders and the Effects of Unresolved Trauma
Who We Are
At Recover Newport Beach, we specialize in eating disorder therapy and trauma recovery for women and girls. Our warm, welcoming center is a place where healing begins—whether in person or virtually from anywhere.
Personalized Support for Every Journey
No two paths to recovery look the same. That’s why we offer personalized support that meets you exactly where you are. Whether you’re just beginning or continuing your healing, we’re here with compassion, experience, and a deep commitment to helping you thrive..
Our Approach to Recovery
We combine evidence-based therapy with body-centered practices like breathwork, mindful movement, and guided reflection. In every session, we help you strengthen your connection to your body, your values, and your sense of self.
Mission for Empowerment
Our mission is simple: to help you feel safe in your body, confident in your choices, and hopeful about your future.
A Team with Lived Experience
Our therapists and support staff bring both clinical expertise and personal insight to the healing process. Many of us have experienced eating disorders or trauma firsthand, so we understand what it truly means to recover.
Creating a Space of Trust
By sharing pieces of our own journeys, we create a space of trust, self-compassion, and honesty. We want you to know that you are not alone—and that full recovery is possible.
A Team That Understands
Our team includes experienced therapists, clinicians, and support staff from diverse personal and clinical backgrounds. In fact, many of us have faced eating disorders or trauma ourselves. As a result, we bring not just professional knowledge—but also empathy, relatability, and hope.
We often share parts of our own recovery stories to inspire trust and build self-compassion. We know how hard recovery can be. That’s why we’re here—to remind you that you are not alone and to support you with warmth and care.
Whether you’re just beginning or further along, we’re here to walk beside you.

- In-person therapy at our Newport Beach location

What We Specialize In
At Recover Newport Beach, we specialize in helping women and girls recover from eating disorders, disordered eating, and unresolved trauma, including PTSD. Our mission is simple: we help you embrace your story, accept your truth, and reconnect with your whole self. In turn, you can live with freedom, joy, and purpose.
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders can take over your life and make it hard to stay present. You may feel like you can’t make a decision without hearing a critical voice in your head. As a result, life can feel overwhelming and isolating.
However, you are not alone. We understand your struggle. That’s why we’re here — to help you begin your healing journey with personal, one-on-one support.
Our approach helps you reconnect with your body, find your voice, and start living a fuller, freer life.

PTSD & Trauma
Trauma can impact every part of your being. It may leave you feeling numb, disconnected, or emotionally distant. Over time, these feelings can grow and become overwhelming.
At Recover Newport Beach, we provide trauma-informed care. This means we help you work through difficult experiences in a way that feels safe and supportive.
Because our goal is to help you feel whole again, we focus on rebuilding your connection to your body and emotions. This allows you to move forward with more clarity and confidence.
Healing is possible. You deserve to find balance, joy, and meaning again. Together, we’ll build a path toward lasting recovery.

Body Image
Your body image affects how you see yourself. You can't truly love who you are without also accepting your body. Because of this, negative body image can make life feel limited and stressful.
You deserve peace with your body. To support this, we offer mindful movement, breathing exercises, and even healing practices like dance.
In addition, we provide one-on-one therapy, coaching, and group sessions. These services help you build a stronger, more loving relationship with yourself.

Sebrena S.
A Guiding Light in My Healing
"I began seeing Hanan at a bottom in my life. I was emotionally, physically and mentally not well. From the moment I met Hanan, things began to change in my life. I began to have hope! Her empathy, compassion and kindness has been healing for my wounded soul. Very professional yet very personable. She has been a cheerleader in my life and has provided a safe environment for me to be vulnerable and work through my trauma. I would not be where I am today without her guidance along my healing journey. I will forever be grateful for Hanan!"
Roxanne D.
A Safe Space for Real Growth
"Hanan has been my therapist for years. I would not be where I am in my life right now if it were not for the tools she has shown me how to use and the space she shares with me in my most vulnerable moments. I recommend Recover Newport Beach to anyone that wants genuine, connected guidance in a safe and private space. Your life will forever be changed✨"
Robby E.
A Light in My Life
"Where do I even start?! Hanan has truly been such a gift and light in my life and to so many others. Her talent and genuine regard for others continually amazes me and I have learned so much from her and all the bestowed wisdom she gives. I can't thank my lucky stars enough to have such a wonderful and strong woman guiding me through this wild journey of life. I 100% recommend her! :)"
Bella S.
For Anyone Who Needs to Be Understood
"I am usually very hesitant with leaving reviews as I am a private person but when it comes to Hanan I just have to share my experience. I can tell from the way I share something that I have someone who cares and listens to what I have to say. And it doesn’t end there. Talking is not my strong suit but she is able to decipher my emotional state. Hanan really means it when she says she’s there for you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope everyone who meets you is able to share my positive experience."
