Hi, I’m Hanan Elshennawy, founder of Recover Newport Beach.
I support individuals and families healing from eating disorders and trauma by providing deeply personalized therapy, recovery coaching, and one-on-one emotional support. With years of clinical experience and a heart for compassionate, evidence-based care, I walk alongside each client on their unique path toward healing.
I created Not sure about recovery yet? to help people like you — those who might be feeling uncertain, hesitant, or overwhelmed at the thought of starting therapy. This reflective guide is the result of years spent listening to those quiet, in-between moments in recovery. Moments of pause, fear, hope, and deep bravery.
If you’re here reading this, you’re already doing something powerful: you’re considering a new chapter. Whether or not you feel ready to take the next step, I hope this journal helps you feel supported, seen, and encouraged — wherever you are in your journey.
You don’t have to figure it all out today. Let’s just begin, gently.
With care,
Hanan
