Holistic Recovery from Eating Disorders and the Effects of Unresolved Trauma
Who We Are
Recover Newport Beach is an outpatient healing center for women and girls recovering from eating disorders and the effects of unresolved trauma. We provide compassionate support through every stage of your recovery—no matter where you are along the journey.
Our Approach to Recovery
We believe in a collaborative and holistic approach to healing. Recovery at our center means reconnecting with your body through movement and breath, your values through therapy and coaching, and your community through family and group work. We also support you in rediscovering your hopes and dreams through self-love and self-understanding.
Our center is founded on the belief that full recovery is possible. When you feel safe in your body and connected to yourself and the world around you, true healing can begin. Our mission is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and validated—so you can start to heal in a way that is sustainable and realistic.
A Team That Understands
Our team is made up of skilled clinicians and compassionate support staff from diverse personal and clinical backgrounds. Each of us has been impacted by eating disorders or trauma in some way. Because of this, we bring more than just professional experience—we bring empathy, relatability, and lived wisdom.
We openly share parts of our own recovery journeys to help instill hope, build trust, and foster an environment of self-compassion and acceptance. We understand how difficult recovery can be. That’s why we’re here; to remind you that you’re not alone, and to support you every step of the way.
Personalized Support, Wherever You Are
Every recovery journey is unique. That’s why our services are personalized to meet your individual needs. We offer a range of supports, available in different formats to meet you where you are—physically and emotionally. Our services can be accessed:
In-person sessions at our beautiful Newport Beach, CA center
In-home support for residents of Southern California
Telehealth sessions for those located elsewhere in California
Virtual support for some services offered nationally and internationally
Whether you’re just beginning or further along the path, we are here to walk beside you.

Eating Disorders
Eating Disorders get in the way of experiencing life and being present. You can’t do much without “that voice” interfering with every choice you make in almost every aspect of your life. It can feel so confusing, isolating and overwhelming. We get it and we are here to help you RECOVER your life. Start your healing journey with personalized, holistic recovery solutions that help you RECONNECT to your body, RECLAIM your voice and LIVE YOUR LIFE FULLY.

Body Image
Your Body Image becomes your SELF image, it’s impossible to honor and love who you are without
embracing your body and connecting with it on all levels. It’s time to get to know yourself and make
peace with your body so that you can live with FREEDOM and EASE. You are worth it! Explore your Body Image through mindful movement, breathing and dance as well as individual therapy, coaching services and various groups aimed at helping you CONNECT with and EMBRACE your body.

PTSD & Trauma
Trauma impacts every part of your being, often leaving you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. PTSD and trauma can create patterns of avoidance, fear, and emotional numbing. At Recover, we guide you to process these experiences, reclaim your sense of safety, and restore connection with your body, mind, and emotions. Healing is possible, and you are worthy of joy, purpose, and growth. Together, we’ll help you find balance and create a path forward.

Sebrena S.
Wise & Compassionate
"Hanan is truly one of a kind. I have had several consultations with her as an AMFT and her professional experience is remarkable. She is very compassionate, wise, and opens your eyes to new perspectives so gently. I love that she uses narrative therapy as her base and I learn so much from her every time I speak with her.
I highly recommend her as a therapist and supervisor. She is a beautiful and genuine human being!"
Sarah R.
A Path to True Healing
"Recover Newport Beach saved my life. I was in the depths of my eating disorder and trauma, and Hanan helped me get to a place of full recovery and healing. She has so much compassion and really cares about her clients. I will forever be thankful to Hanan for her support through the hardest times of my life. If you are considering going here or working with Hanan, I can’t recommend it enough!"
Holly D.
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.
Empowered & Transformed
"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hanan. When I was at such a low point not knowing where to turn or how to cope with years of disordered eating and low body image, I luckily enough found Hanan. I felt extreme shame and guilt on the daily due to the diet culture messages all around me. Hanan has helped me in so many ways through my recovery. I firmly believe that all of my hard work with Hanan has led me to be more content with myself and has allowed me to be an amazing example to my family, especially my daughter in regard to diet culture and body image among other things. I am just so thankful that she came into my life at a time where I didn't know what the next move was, which changed my life in the absolute best way. A thousand times over I would recommend Hanan and her team to help you work through recovery."
Jennifer G.
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."

A Guiding Light on My Healing Journey
"I have been working with Hanan Elshennawy for a couple of years. And, she has changed my life for the better. I came to her for trauma informed eating disorder treatment, but she has helped support me in ways I never imagined. She has helped heal my mind, body, and spirit. I have never worked with a provider like Hanan. She is there for me unconditionally. And, she has shown me what a safe relationship looks and feels like. She has supported me through my darkest moments with endless love, compassion, and understanding.
She creates a warm, safe space for me to bring my most authentic, vulnerable self. I put on a mask for the rest of the world. But with Hanan, I know I can just *be* and show up exactly as I am. She truly *sees* me.
She can always see past my smile. And, she holds space for me to bring forward parts of myself that I have hidden away from everyone, even myself. She holds onto hope when I feel hopeless. She brings understanding and love when I am feeling deep shame. Being in her presence feels like a warm embrace. And, from our very first session, I knew that with her by my side, I would finally find my way home to myself.
I am forever grateful to get to work with Hanan. I now know that I don't have to carry all of this alone. And, my path forward will always be lit with her guiding light. If you are looking for trauma or eating disorder treatment, I highly recommend Recover Newport Beach. My life, my future is so much brighter because of Hanan Elshennawy."
Melissa F.
Kind, Empathetic, & Impactful
"Hanan is one of the kindest most empathetic people I have met. She is truly gifted at what she does, and has taken that gift to set up a center that is doing so much to help people heal. I would recommend her and Recover to anyone who is needing help with eating disorder trauma."
Jana N.
Breaking Barriers & Finding Freedom
"I have struggled with fear, control, trauma and an ED most of my life. I have seen many therapists throughout my adult life…when I met Hanan I knew she was different and the impact she has had is unlike any other therapist I have worked with. Hanan understands how deep eating disorders and trauma are rooted and she also just understands life-the ups, the downs and the in between! She has a compassionate, down to earth, and REAL way of talking with me that has helped me take a proactive look at myself, my life, my ED and to break through barriers…she has helped me tap into mySELF and be an advocate for my life and my ED recovery, supporting me while taking both BIG steps as well as baby steps. She is why I am here today and why I continue to choose to work towards a fully free and recovered life. I would recommend Hanan and her team at Recover Newport Beach in a heartbeat."
