Who We Are

Eating Disorder & Trauma Recovery

Recover Newport Beach is an outpatient healing center for women and girls recovering from an eating disorder and the effects of unresolved trauma. We are a recovery-oriented center that offers compassionate and loving support along your recovery journey, no matter where you are. We believe in a collaborative, holistic approach to recovery that includes reconnecting you to your body through movement and breathing, to your values through therapy and coaching, to your community through family and group work and your hopes and dreams through self-love and understanding. Our center is founded in hope, and the belief that full recovery is possible when one feels safe in her body and connected with herself and the world around her. Our mission is to create a space where you feel heard, seen and validated so that you feel safe enough for your healing to start.

Our team is made up of clinicians and support staff who come from various personal and clinical backgrounds and have all experienced first hand the impact of having an eating disorder and living with the burdens of unresolved trauma. We use our own recovery stories to help instill hope and self-compassion in our clients and to create a safe space that fosters self-love and acceptance. We understand that recovery is more difficult than most people can imagine, and we are here to support your efforts. Know that you are not alone and that you can do this.

Our services are tailored and personalized to your specific needs, wherever you are along your recovery journey. We offer a variety of services that are held in-person at our beautiful Newport Beach, CA location, in-home for Southern CA residents and through telehealth for our clients who live elsewhere in CA or who prefer virtual services. Some of our recovery services are offered through telehealth, nationally and internationally.

A Connection with Myself
"You teach me every day about safe connections and that I can develop a safe connection with myself."
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."
