Relationship Speaker for Conferences, Workshops, and Retreats

For Clinicians and the General Public

Hanna Basel Couple's Therapist HZB Therapy

In addition to couples therapy, I also offer presentations and workshops for both clinicians and the general public. I do this because I’m passionate about engaging the community in meaningful conversations about relationships. Passing on what has been shared with me is a core value, and I believe that the more we talk about relationships, the more we learn and grow. I love connecting with people on these topics and bringing new insights into how we connect, communicate, and build stronger bonds. Whether you're a clinician seeking tools for your practice or someone looking to deepen your understanding of relationships, I’m here to share, teach, and explore together.

Below is a non-exhaustive list of trainings I have previously provided. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you are looking for a topic not on this list.
