Hannah Ngaihte

MFT Trainee

Hannah Ngaihte was a generous and compassionate young woman whose bright smile lit up a room. She was a gifted educator and therapist, with creativity and compassion that blessed her clients and fellow therapists alike.

Hannah’s life was tragically cut short with an accident on December 30th, 2021. We at Sync grieve Hannah’s passing, and honor her legacy by continuing the dedication and service to the clients in our care.

Rest in peace, dear Hannah.

We all need to be loved and accepted as we are; yet we often fear that if others know the deep, ugly parts of ourselves, those parts even we ourselves are afraid to explore, that we will be rejected.  We may even reject ourselves.  But the truth is that we all have deep, ugly parts, and only through exploring those in a place where we feel safe and accepted can we find freedom in being our authentic selves.  I want to offer you that space and that relationship. 

Running through each of our veins, alongside the vast diversity in experience, culture, and values that makes us uniquely beautiful, is the raw humanity that unites us all.  We each must go through the process of learning who we are in this great, confusing world.  Beginning in childhood, this process is lifelong and influenced by relationships, surroundings, happenstance events, stages of development, and other factors that we can and cannot control.  You may not understand what is going on inside and outside of you and feel powerless to change.  But that power is within you—I hope you take the first step in coming to counseling to see that you and your life can and will change.  It will not be easy, but it will be worth it, and I am honored to embark on this journey with you.
