I don't feel like just a number. Joanna Hansen cares about truly addressing root causes of behavior and challenges while discussing medication as one of many tools rather than a the primary tool. She never makes me feel rushed and I'm always seen.

I feel heard when I speak with JoAnna. She has a calming voice that I feel comfortable with and she definitely understands my needs as a person with an issue that's not easily addressed. She is a wonderful physician and I'd feel lost without her.

Joanna Hansen, CNP was very thorough and truly helpful. She wasn't in a hurry to simply inquire whether the presentations were effective and ask if I needed a refill. We had a conversation that was helpful and she fully understands how to help people who have a long history of trauma. She is a great asset for Northwestern. I hope you appreciate her.

I have never had a psychiatrist or psychologist who was willing to obviously read my prior medical history and reports, nor devote so much time interviewing me. She asked some difficult questions and spoke very honestly to me even truths that were necessary and may prove to be helpful despite possibly being painful. Joanna Hansen is truly dedicated to helping her patients. I'm fortunate to have her for my mental healthcare. You are lucky to have such an excellent professional working for you.

Disclosures

JoAnna L. Hansen, APRN reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
