Meet the Team at
Recover Newport Beach.
At Recover Newport Beach, we are committed to providing compassionate and personalized care for your recovery journey. Our team comprises clinicians and support staff from diverse personal and clinical backgrounds, many of whom have firsthand experience with eating disorders or trauma. Consequently, we understand both the challenges of these experiences and the freedom that comes with recovery.
We believe in a holistic approach to recovery. Therefore, our methods emphasize reconnecting you with your body, spirit, values, community, and aspirations for a brighter future.
Recognizing that distance or personal circumstances can sometimes hinder access to quality care, we offer flexible virtual therapy options. These online services ensure that individuals, regardless of their location, can receive the support they need. Whether you’re in Southern California or beyond, our virtual platforms provide the same level of compassionate and personalized care as our in-person sessions.
Our goal is to help you recognize the freedom gained through recovery. As a result, you can live without the limitations and superficial rules that may have kept you feeling stuck. By sharing our own recovery stories, we aim to instill hope and compassion in our clients. This approach creates a safe environment that fosters self-love and acceptance.

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✨"

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."
