When I first decided to get into the mental health field, I did so because I wanted to help people. I was anticipating meeting with clients to help them with relationship issues and to facilitate them making changes to their lives to increase their happiness and joy. It was all very standard. What I never actually thought about was who these people I was going to help actually were.
I assumed that they’d be regular, everyday people. I did not have any aspirations of only helping one group or another, in my idealistic state, I wanted to help everyone! What I didn’t anticipate—and I think this is the nature of life—was that I became the go-to woman to speak to for west LA and Santa Monica sex workers.
My first client was an attractive, blonde actress who had landed several bit roles in network procedurals who had grown tired of waiting tables. Week after week she would come into my westside office and lay out a veritable smorgasbord of literotica worthy stories. I began looking forward to her sessions just because it was the closest that I’d ever come to that particular world. I never knew what I was going to get. One week, she’d be talking about partying with Oscar winners in the Hollywood Hills, the next week, she’d be discussing how she was going to be spending time on a yacht with an actual African warlord. She then referred several of her friends to me.
After several years, I had a stable of clients, male, female and trans, all of whom were involved in porn and escorting. At times, I felt like I was shirking my responsibilities to them because I’d allow them to go into as much details of their unique lives and their sexual escapades as they saw fit… and they would often see very fit, to stick with that metaphor. I grew accustomed to helping them process through both their day-to-day mental health dealings and their sexual issues in both their professional and personal lives. I counseled several of the male escorts about their bisexuality and how to make peace with it. I worked with some of the trans actors on how to better live their lives as their preferred gender. And even though the subject matter wasn’t what I was expecting, I knew I was helping people. Then the pandemic hit and most of my clients’ finances dried up. Being very close to other humans wasn’t in the cards and I was forced to take on more suburban housewives and middle management types. It’s amazing how things can change so quickly.
I have a very soft spot in my heart for the sessions I did with my sex workers and find myself missing it more than I would have expected. I know several of my clients were actually on Niteflirt as flirts, and, after researching the site some, realized that it was exactly what I wanted to try. Human beings are human beings no matter where you find them and human beings tend to have issues they want to discuss.
I am available for all sorts of things here. I can offer actual sessions with you by phone where we delve into your thoughts and sexual desires, I am happy to work with you on making a plan going forward for whatever changes (or transitions) you’re interested in and, providing that we have a good connection, am intrigued by the possibility of a session gone bad, so to speak.
My name is Hannah and I’m here for you!
