Hi There. I’m Dan Greenstein, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a passion for embracing the diversity of human experiences and tailoring therapy to fit your unique needs. I bring a blend of therapeutic approaches to the table, weaving together various modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solutions Focused Brief Therapy and more.

I help children, adolescents and adults cope with symptoms of anxiety and depression stemming from trauma, conflict, grief or other life transitions. I am a wife of over 20 years and mother of 2, ages 22 and 19. I’ve been a school counselor in Waterbury for 15 years and a licensed clinician for 2. I'm a seasoned professional both in life and as a therapist and I intend to use my knowledge and experience to help my clients understand their needs and make change in order to feel better. I see you and honor you as a person and invite you to walk with me on your journey of healing at my private practice, Instillness Therapy LLC.

I believe that therapy can be effective in helping those that suffer from addiction. I have worked in in detox, outpatient and residential treatment. It is essential in treating people affected by this malady to understand the nature of the problem involved in treating this condition. Addiction does not exist in a vacuum. Recognizing and treating other problems, trauma, anxiety and depression, and the relationship between those problems and addiction, is necessary for successful treatment. I am extensively trained in trauma therapies, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Accepting new clients. I have over 18 years of therapeutic experience working with individuals and families. The cornerstone of my treatment style focuses on a strength based approach to support you as you examine the factors that have contribute to life stressors. I work to support you & your loved ones to develop healthy coping skills to implement. If you are dealing with depression, anxiety, family conflict, trauma, school based issues or social conflict together we can develop new strategies to cope with these stressors. Together we examine negative patterns in your life to begin your journey of healing.

Are you feeling stuck, worn down by life's challenges? Are you exhausted by the day to day, wondering what the point of all of this is? Has life recently come at you so fast you've lost track of where you're going? Maybe you find yourself on auto pilot, disconnected from the people and things you love most. Have you sought comfort in quick fixes that leave you feeling more lost and hopeless? You're not alone, so many people have found themselves in circumstances that leave them feeling drained and without purpose or fulfillment. Wandering the world day to day searching for joy and connection. I'm here to help.

I believe that we all have great potential and with help, we can achieve our personal goals. The therapeutic process is to help you to become your best self. I love to join with my clients in this process.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, worried or stressed out? Are you having difficulties with relationships in your life with your child or spouse? There are times when we go through challenges in life, and at those times we can lose sight of how to move forward. My specialties are helping people feel better about themselves, improving their relationships, and making progress in their lives. I want to make you feel comfortable enough to explore the issues that are important to you and work together to create changes that will last!

Struggling with Anxiety, Depression, feelings of shame or inadequacy? Maybe you have difficulty connecting to others, creating healthy boundaries, or trusting after a relationship ended painfully. Does fear of failure keep you from trying something you've desired or from reaching your full potential. I've helped many clients experiencing these difficulties, get "unstuck", heal, and move forward with more peace, joy, confidence, and purpose. Above all, I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important ingredient in successful therapy and that each unique person engaging in the process is deserving of attuned connection.

Are you looking for a better way? As we work together, you can optimize the strengths you already possess, develop insight, and learn techniques that can help you heal yourself and nurture your relationships. The goal of therapy is to begin to see yourself and others in new and more productive ways. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and teens (from the age of 15) of all backgrounds, sexual orientations, and interests. Often, work with teens will include some level of interaction with caregivers so that constructive adjustments can be made and sustained.

If you find life to be hard, can't seem to get out of your own way, feel disappointed, or alone, then let's work together to find ways to understand your struggles and connect with a solution. It remains my honor and privilege to serve individuals who face a wide array of psychological, emotional, and behavioral issues. Currently I focus on talk therapy with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. This is applied to explore thoughts and feelings in a caring and supportive atmosphere; working collaboratively on problems that might include issues with closeness, assertiveness, unresolved grief and addiction.

Tele-therapy Sessions Available! Like many journeys, therapy begins with where you are now, factors in where you have been, and creates a plan for where you want to go. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. You are the expert on your life and its future direction. As your therapist, I will provide a safe, confidential space to explore relevant events in your life that may be influencing your ability to reach your objectives. I will assist by providing insight, life skills, and support so that you can take the steps necessary to lessen your symptoms, enhance your self-knowledge, and effectively meet life's challenges.

Welcome! Sometimes change and uncertainty feel like the only constant in life and we get overwhelmed. At other times we feel stuck, possibly not taking action we know is in our best interest due to emotions connected to issues and past events. I am here to provide you with a safe, caring and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. When we better understand why we feel the way we do, we can transform the beliefs and release the stuck emotions that limit us. My goal is to empower you to be more able to weather life's storms, respond to challenges, and make the positive changes you want.

I am a relationship specialist. Whether it's an affair, broken communication, lost intimacy, safety, or trust, or simply a desire to improve your connection, I help couple's find a path to get there. One of the bigger challenges of modern couple’s therapy is translating what happens in the therapy office to home. Inspired therapy doesn’t often equal change, it offers fleeting insights. Giving couples the tools to take home and transfrom their relationship, is the real work. I’ve developed an effective process to deliver those tools, and then nurture it with skill building. I also offer post-divorce and couples recovery counseling.

*Not accepting new clients. Extended leave 'til late 2024* Life can be challenging as we navigate an ever winding path. Determining which choice to make is not always clear. My goal is to provide you with a safe, compassionate and empathic environment to explore your problems, working collaboratively toward finding your best self. I have spent the past 11 years working with adolescents and families to learn new techniques to handle life’s twists and turns, while healing from past traumas. I work with individuals and families to explore together ways to improve strengths and overcome deficits to learn new ways to cope with the world.

My mission is to help you to explore your life experience, to come to better know your true self, and to become empowered to enjoy your best possible quality of life. Realizing and building upon inner strengths - and courageously working through difficulties within the safety of a therapeutic relationship - are important to this process. I work in a primarily psychodynamic, integrative way based upon each person's individual needs and goals, whether related to relationships, trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, identity, life transitions, somatic symptoms, ADHD, problematic or self-defeating behaviors, or other issues.

I provide a safe, trustworthy environment in which individuals, couples, and families are able to explore the challenges that prompt them to seek therapy. As a deep listener, I enjoy helping people clarify their concerns and find effective solutions. I infuse what can be serious and heavy work with humor and energy, to shift out of a focus on problems, into a focus on strengths and solutions. Similarly, my coaching, supervisory, and training style is collaborative, empowering, strength-based, and solution-focused.
