Chronic Illness Therapists in Erie County, PA

My goal is to help you get un-stuck. I work with people in their 20s-40s dealing with things like anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, life transitions, and grief. The stress response helps keep us alive, but when we get stuck there we start to feel disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. Not only do I want to help you explore thoughts, gain insight, and empower you to feel confident in your decisions, I want to help your body finally feel safe and grounded. I want to help you find the coping skills to get out of a state of hyperarousal and back into a place of safety and connection.

I am a licensed therapist who has a doctorate in psychology. I have over 20 years of experience working with people to support them in managing symptoms of mental health, addressing stressors, and supportive themselves to achieve their goals. I work with people who need help addressing trauma, personality disorders, substance abuse concerns, psychosis, bipolar disorder, forensic histories, and general mental health needs. I like to work with my clients to create a therapy plan based on their needs and preferences to support them in being ready to successfully discharge from services.

Welcome to the journey to becoming the best version of yourself! I collaborate with individuals of all ages, genders, and identities. I am dedicated to their personal growth and the journey to self-improvement. Witnessing the remarkable transformations people undergo through counseling is a profoundly inspiring to me.

I often see people who struggle with symptoms of trauma, depression, and anxiety and center interventions with a mind-body approach. I provide a unique combination of treatment modalities such as EMDR, IFS, ESFT, and DBT. I approach mental health with a holistic lens, weaving many factors in treatment to enhance wellness. I believe the growth experienced during our most difficult times helps to transform and define the moments within our lives, and I am honored to help people grow after facing hardship, tragedy, and trauma.

People of all walks of life often go through tough times ... and I am here to help. I have worked, since 1991, with individuals, couples, and families across outpatient and inpatient settings, in homes and schools, and now through telehealth. I have assisted people with a variety of challenges--whether related to depression, anxiety, stress and trauma, behavioral control, self-esteem, substance use, life transition, and other concerns.

You have already taken the first step toward a healthier version of you, by searching for support. Finding the right therapist is important, so that you are as comfortable as possible through your treatment. I use an integrative approach in talking with people to help them find their way through difficult times, not a "one size fits all" style. Each client is unique and valued. Through this process, strategies for managing your challenges will be developed in a supportive environment without judgment. The goals of treatment include stabilization of symptoms so that your length of stay is no longer than necessary.

I am a National Board Certified and State Licensed Professional Clinical Social Worker with an additional Master's Degree in School Psychology. I have been providing professional counseling in the Erie area for over 20 years. My areas of expertise include Teenagers, Depression and Anxiety, Couples, Aging, Career Difficulties and Stress. I also do coaching for sports anxiety with a fee for service charge if done out of the office.

Maybe it was a difficult decision to think about asking for help due to stigma or fear. It has been my experience that even the strongest people need help sometimes. Whether you are under a lot of stress, are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, are suffering from PTSD or self esteem issues, you do not have to do it alone.

Welcoming new clients, I provide mental health therapy, specializing in working with children and teens, along with their family members, as well as couples, young adults and adults. Areas of specialty include those struggling with adjustment issues, anxiety disorders, OCD, eating disorders, depression, mood disorders, grief and loss, anger, self & body image issues, sexual identity issues, relationship issues, cutting/self harm, peer concerns and women's issues, just to name a few. I believe that the only way to get past our problems is to go through them, and I empower others to partake on this difficult, yet rewarding journey!

Through my experience working with various populations, all going through some of life’s greatest pains, I aim to provide a safe space for my clients. A safe space where they can explore the complexities of their pasts, the melting pot of their emotions, and the truths of their realities. By utilizing mediation and grounding techniques, we uncover what the authentic self means to each individual and journey towards achieving that in daily life.

Maybe you want to learn to overcome your fear and anxiety; transform your inner critic into something more kind; begin healing from trauma; learn how to navigate life after the loss of a loved one; or explore and develop a better understanding of yourself and the many spectrums of identity. Regardless of your reason for seeking therapy, it tells me one very important thing, you are ready for a change. For the last 8 years I have worked with people as they learn to navigate and adjust to transitions in life. Change can happen quickly, it is important that we make the time for ourselves to reflect and grow.

Hello. I am Danielle Grignol-Oza, M.A., LPC, and I am currently accepting new clients either virtually or in office; the latter depending on circumstances due to COVID-19 restrictions. My office is located within Presque Isle Mind-Body Wellness in Erie, Pennsylvania. I accept commercial Highmark, UPMC, and Cigna employment plans. I have vast experience working with trauma, mood disorders, relationships, and self-esteem. I am open minded, flexible, and work with clients on their level. I believe you should be an active participant in your own therapy.

We often have what we need within us to heal, but sometimes anxiety, depression, or internal conflict can get in our way from making the progress that we want to feel. Do you want to wake up on time but depression makes it difficult? Or, are you having difficulty starting or completing projects? Tele-therapy can help you cope with the stressful things in your life, so that you can move forward in how you want to. I can provide virtual therapy to anyone in Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Washington state. I have extensive experience and abundant joy working with folks in the LGBTQ+ & poly/nonmonogamous communities.

I have a great admiration and respect for my clients who've chosen to do the difficult task of examining themselves and taking risks to improve their lives. I work with adolescent and adult individuals and couples in a sincere and supportive capacity to address issues of grief, trauma, career difficulties, infertility and parenting, sexuality, life choices, relationships, depression, anxiety, and more. I invite your inquiries and can be reached by phone or email.
