A New Life
Hanna Guttenberg Riverdale’s Liberation and Self-Discovery
A new life seemed impossible for Hanna Guttenberg Riverdale of New York. After years of fruitless therapy and a failing marriage, she found herself at 30 years old—depressed, desperate, and lost. Dr. Ceruto at MindLAB Neuroscience liberated her from depression and suppressed self-esteem caused by an overly religious husband, ultimately empowering Hanna to rediscover herself, regain her confidence, and embrace a new life as the woman she used to be: liberated, self-assured, and genuinely happy.
The Challenge: Years of Failed Attempts
Let’s start with the facts: Hanna had seen a handful of “therapists” since her early twenties—to no avail. She and her husband tried marriage counseling and everything under the moon to “fix” what was, in truth, unfixable. The problem wasn’t lack of effort; it was that conventional therapy couldn’t address the fundamental incompatibility and emotional suppression defining her marriage.
By age 30, Hanna had become a shell of her former self. Her overly religious husband’s expectations had systematically suppressed her personality, dreams, and self-esteem. Depression wasn’t just a mood—it was her daily reality. She felt trapped between the person she’d become and the vibrant woman she remembered being years earlier.
She called MindLAB Neuroscience as a desperate, lost 30-year-old with suppressed self-esteem, needing guidance but unsure if a new life was even possible. She’d already decided to divorce but couldn’t find the strength or permission to move forward.
The Solution: Permission to Find a New Life
Dr. Ceruto worked with Hanna even though the decision to divorce had already been made. Unlike previous therapists who tried to save the marriage at all costs, Dr. Ceruto recognized what Hanna truly needed: permission to prioritize herself, to acknowledge that leaving wasn’t failure but liberation, and to focus on rediscovering the woman suppressed for so long.
Dr. Ceruto gave Hanna the permission she so desperately needed to find herself and focus on her own wellbeing—and it was liberating. Through their work together, Hanna began dismantling years of internalized shame, religious guilt, and self-doubt that had accumulated during her marriage.
This wasn’t about blame or vilifying her husband. It was about recognizing incompatibility, honoring Hanna’s authentic self, and giving her tools to rebuild confidence that had been systematically eroded. Dr. Ceruto’s neuroscience-based approach helped Hanna understand the neurological patterns of suppression and depression, and more importantly, how to rewire them.
The Results: Rediscovering the Woman Within
Hanna regained her confidence and found the woman she used to be—but even better. The transformation wasn’t about becoming someone new; it was about removing the layers of suppression that had hidden her authentic self. She rediscovered her passions, her personality, her voice, and her capacity for joy.
Today, Hanna lives a new life defined by freedom, self-assurance, and genuine happiness. She’s liberated from the depression that once defined her existence. She’s no longer the lost, desperate 30-year-old who first called MindLAB—she’s the confident, vibrant woman she was always meant to be.
The divorce that once felt like failure now feels like salvation. Thanks to Dr. Ceruto’s guidance, Hanna didn’t just end a marriage—she began a new life authentically her own.
