Founder, Stellaterra Studio, Hannah Katherine Art

I am a Licensed and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with more than a decade of experience supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, their families, and the teams around them. My work spans home-based services, school settings, residential programs, and interdisciplinary clinical environments. I specialize in dual diagnoses, communication development, and trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming care.

My background also includes large-scale improvement work in public education. I worked with the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University to support district partners in designing and implementing continuous improvement initiatives focused on student support. In that role, I provided training and development for school and district leadership teams and helped guide systems-level change. This experience strengthened my ability to understand behavior within the broader context of environments, relationships, and organizational structures.

Across my career, I have collaborated with parents, direct support professionals, home health agencies, and multidisciplinary providers. My approach is practical, relationship-centered, and respectful of each individual’s autonomy. I focus on communication, emotional regulation, and supportive environments that reduce distress and help individuals engage more fully with their lives.

Alongside my clinical work, I am also a fine artist. My paintings explore emotional landscapes, connection, and the quiet details of everyday noticing. Both parts of my work grow from the same interest in how people create meaning, build relationships, and move toward lives that feel purposeful and grounded.

Through Stellaterra Studio, I offer:

• Medicaid Therapeutic Consultation with an emphasis on functional assessment, clear planning, and caregiver training

• Private parent coaching informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

• Consultation and training for organizations and clinicians

• Creative, experiential tools that draw from both behavioral science and art-based processes

My work is collaborative, contextual, and rooted in real-life application. I aim to create supports that can be used with confidence, so individuals, families, and teams feel equipped, understood, and supported.
