Hanna Conradi

Hanna Conradi is a PhD student in Clinical Psychology at the University of Calgary. Her dissertation explores the role of emotion regulation in the relationship between mindfulness and psychosocial outcomes in diverse cancer populations, with the broader aim of informing innovative, mechanism-driven mental health interventions. She is particularly interested in how contemplative and altered states of consciousness—whether accessed through mindfulness or psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT)—can support healing in the context of serious illness.

​

Hanna’s clinical and research training spans psychological assessment and psychotherapy, with a growing focus on integrative approaches to care. She has worked across multiple settings including student mental health, accessibility services, and behavioural intervention for children with ASD. Her MSc in Clinical Psychology included diverse practicum experiences, and her current doctoral training continues to build on this foundation.

​

Hanna spent her childhood in Dalian, China, where her early exposure to contemplative traditions first sparked her interest in the mind-body connection. She later earned her BA in Psychology and Philosophy in Kamloops, BC, with a research focus on emotion regulation.

​

After losing a close family member to cancer and witnessing its impact on others, Hanna is deeply committed to improving psychosocial care for people living with cancer. She sees great promise in combining evidence-based practices like mindfulness with emerging modalities such as PAT to reduce suffering and enhance quality of life. She is currently serving as a student member on CAN-PACT committees to help support the work being done.

Outside of work, Hanna finds joy in music, nature, sports, and the occasional binge-worthy TV series.
