I'm Dayne with QUEST Counseling & Consultation Center, and I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) experienced in working with children, teens, and adults. I believe everyone is capable of creating their own change and finding wellness. My approach to treatment involves working collaboratively with clients to embrace their own strengths while learning new strategies to overcome past and present life stressors. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and believe that developing a supportive, non-judgmental space, built on mutual trust and respect, creates the strongest environment for healing and growth.

I help people with anxiety, depression, and chronic illness to get back in control and live the life they want. Our thoughts, memories, feelings, and bodily sensations make life so hard. Do they keep you from doing the things you want? Do you feel so overwhelmed you need to run or to escape? Do they make you regret the way you’ve lived? Do they keep you from people you care about? You don’t have to live this way. We can take steps to put you back in charge of you and your life. My mission is to help you be proud of the person you are, get you doing the things you want, with the people you care about most.

I am happy to travel along with you as you embark upon your healing journey. I strive to meet you within a space where you can safely explore your internal world. While it can be difficult to discover your inner voice and experience a felt sense of safety, each therapy session will give you a chance to reconnect with yourself and find what gives you meaning.

Feeling overwhelmed is all too common these days. Sometimes, uncomfortable thoughts and feelings even keep you up at night. You spend a lot of time trying to convince yourself that everything is "fine,” but deep down you know it's not true. Hoping all of this would just go away hasn't worked. Instead, you feel sad, isolated, and scared. If you're being honest with yourself, you know things won't improve unless you take action; but it's hard to imagine what would make a difference.

**Contact by email preferred.**. Everyone gets stuck or overwhelmed and at these times we need additional support. Therapy creates opportunities for you to explore your thoughts and feelings so you can better understand and change what's getting in the way of you living as your fullest self. I work with adolescents and their parents as well as individuals; in order to address anxiety, depression, self criticism, anger, loneliness, or feeling numb and shut down. Our work together strengthens your sense of self, your relationships, and your capacity to best respond to life's inevitable changes and challenges.

Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery & empowerment? It takes courage to confront the stories that have shaped our lives and rewrite them into narratives that uplift and inspire. If you find yourself trapped in a cycle of negative thoughts or behaviors, know that you're not alone. Taking the first step towards change is monumental, and it's a step you don't have to take alone. In therapy, we'll work together to unravel the patterns that hold you back and discover the strength within you. My approach is rooted in collaboration, drawing on your unique strengths while compassionately exploring the challenges you face.

Currently accepting new virtual clients! We all encounter challenges and setbacks in life. Therapy can support you in overcoming them while co-creating a life that you love. I approach therapy through a wellness lens to help you flourish, which means that instead of focusing solely on what's wrong, we pay attention to your strengths and ways that you can feel your best. As a trauma-informed therapist, I recognize that healing happens within the context of felt safety and connection so I strive to create a therapeutic space where you can show up as your whole and unique self. It is an honor to be there as a witness and guide.

Is your substance use is getting out of hand? Do you feel like you can’t control your anxiety, worry, or fears? Or, are you tired of just existing and feeling like there’s no hope? Maybe you have experienced a traumatic event, are struggling to adjust to a life change, or have been using substances to cope. What if I told you there was hope, and there is another way to live? I have the tools to help you engage with your life, and the people in your life, in a more meaningful, authentic, and peace-filled manner.

My ideal client is someone whom is struggling in life and motivated to seek help and make the changes necessary in their thoughts, beliefs or circumstances to get back into wellness. I enjoy working with teens. Most of my career has been with at risk youth. I also work with women's issues, addressing underlying causes of stress and overwhelm. I use Imago and Gottman approaches with couples. When working with men, we discuss the need for vulnerability and self-acceptance. Anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss can all be successfully addressed with psychotherapy.

Are you tired of feeling sad and anxious? Are you ready to live the life you want instead of the life you feel stuck in? Are you seeking support as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community? If you are looking for a therapist who balances a humorous, direct approach with warmth and individual support, I’ll be a good fit for helping you create change. I specialize in working with clients who are exploring gender identity, healing family conflict and transgenerational trauma, and helping neurodiverse individuals navigate a world designed for neurotypical people.

"Whatever we think we believe. Whatever we believe becomes reality. Whatever is our reality becomes the basis for our hopes, fears and choices." Dhammapada. Sometimes the first step in improving our life situation is asking for help. But once that first step is taken, even if it is taken out of desperation, our willingness to make changes can lead to lives filled with hope, joy and peace. My experience is with individuals who experience a variety of life problems, particularly addiction; the issues that arise from addiction and those that led to addiction.

Are you a parent that is worried about your kid? Do you feel just as stuck as they are and unsure where to go or what to do? This is COMMON, and you are not alone. With 13+ years of experience working with children/adolescents and families, I can assure you that THINGS CAN GET BETTER! Whether you have a child that is struggling behaviorally or a teen that is struggling with anxiety/depression and shutting you out, I can help. I balance supporting the individual, while also strengthening relationships among family members.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, burned out, struggling with your mental health, and substance use due to life transitions, relationships, peer relationships, school, parenting/co-parenting struggles, divorce, traumatic experiences, abuse, balancing work and personal life, and other stress-triggering events? I offer online and in-office therapy sessions working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a holistic approach to helping clients. Taking New CLIENTS, no waitlist.

As a Psychologist, I have the honor of working with individuals in their journeys of self-discovery, healing, renewal, and growth; journeys which, at times, have emerged out of periods of life crises & emotional upheaval. I offer individual, couples, and group psychotherapy, working with people navigating a range life transitions and challenges. I work compassionately and collaboratively with clients to explore, discover and overcome aspects of their lives that keep them from recognizing and meeting their full potential. This also involves recognizing and emphasizing clients' strengths, resilience, and assets they already embody.

We love to collaborate with clients to help them draw from their own expertise, build on their own positive values, discover their own skills, and use these new tools to work through conflicts and hardships. We are systems therapist. What that means is: we like to approach problems that people have within the context of social, political and cultural storylines that influence the way we view ourselves and our own personal stories. We use this same approach in family therapy to seek ways to change the way the family system works rather than trying to "fix" a specific family member.

Seeking space to process trauma and understand your path of healing is a courageous choice. Whether you are new to therapy, or returning to your journey of healing self-discovery — searching for a therapist can be overwhelming. Be proud that you made it this far! I am passionate about processing trauma and working with caregivers, helpers, and those excited to attune to one's own needs. I work with clients seeking to explore a deeper understanding of their attachment, and identities and heal from trauma, abuse, and neglect. My practice welcomes those who identify as neurodivergent, LGBTQIA2+, or consensually non-monogamous.

Change promotes growth. Whether self-generated or completely unexpected, change can be challenging for some, and inspirational for others. Having a clinical partner to join you as you navigate your journey can ease the stress that comes along with the inevitable changes that you will encounter throughout life. My clinical approach is to work with you to emphasize your personal strengths and to help you discover ways to feel at peace with yourself, especially when facing stressful times. I work with individuals and couples to help you feel supported as we partner together to accomplish your goals.

Do you struggle with self-doubt and overthinking? Do you have a loud inner critic? Have you experienced a major loss? I help individuals gain clarity and feel empowered while navigating major life transitions (death of a loved one, new parents, empty nesters, job or relationship change, infertility, unexpected pregnancy, new health diagnosis). Through caring and purposeful sessions, you will find support, learn mindfulness techniques and thought management strategies that will help you get to know yourself better so that you can make difficult decisions and move forward in your life.

We each hold a narrative inside of our struggles, our pain, our triumphs, our goals and our dreams. I am honored to be able to help you navigate through yours. Through collaborative work we can identify where you are at in your life journey and where you want to go, whether it is substance use, mental health concerns, trauma, life transitions or other needs. My passion is to help others gain personal insight, inner peace and awareness to promote lasting change.
