Meet Hawani Tessema, Resident in Counseling
Practicing Since: 2023
When working with Hawani, clients can expect an emotionally safe and empathetic atmosphere. Hawani utilizes a combination of traditional talk therapy and other evidence-based creative approaches to support each client.

Hawani loves experiencing the beauty of nature, learning something new, writing and producing songs and other creative projects, and finding ways to make a difference through partnering with local churches and non-profit organizations.
Hawani is a Resident in Counseling in the state of Virginia and under the clinical supervision of LeeAnn Gumulauskas (VA License #0701008515).
