Does your adolescent, tween or teenager need help navigating this transformative phase of their life? A lot of the times, teenagers just need a safe space to talk and some guidance. I want to transform your life and bring peace to your family. I am a guide for your family through these changes. My goal is to help you, your child, and family process life’s challenges and triumphs, and work with you to continue to grow and flourish. Call me if you would like to overcome obstacles and build resilience, and guidance toward a positive and fulfilling future.

Having worked in both the public school setting and private practice for over 22 years, I possess expertise in helping children of all ages and their families navigate difficult life events/periods of their lives. Let me partner with you to assist your child and your family on the road to healing. I have a fully appointed Playroom, as well as space for adolescents and adults. I use Child-Centered Play Therapy for Children ages 3 to 9, Sandtray, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) for adolescents and teens, and SFBT & Sandtray with adults & couples.

You're an adult woman who's doing it all while feeling disconnected and unsure of what you really want. You feel confused by your dissatisfaction with your primary relationships or your career - because you have a great family, good job, good supports, etc. And, no one really wants to hear about it, often calling you ridiculous instead. You probably find yourself wondering, "What's wrong with me?" or "Why can't I get this right?" If you're looking for unbiased support from someone outside your family and community, I'm here to tell you you're not ridiculous AND I want to hear all about it!

I believe that every client has the tools and knowledge necessary to improve their lives. This knowledge becomes hidden by the stress and responsibilities we face on a daily basis. My role as a therapist is to help you uncover those tools in order for you to live a more fulfilling life. If your family is facing a difficult challenge, if you need a different perspective on a situation, or if you are at a loss of what to do with your teen's behavior, I would be honored to help you throughout the process of positive change.

Everyone has their own unique story and I will work to understand yours. I work with a variety of people including individuals, couples and families from a wide variety of professions, family situations, race, age and religious affiliations. Some of the issues I have experience and success working with are sexual dysfunction, infidelity, communication issues, trauma, and mental disorders. My approach looks at the entire person and the “system” in and surrounding them. I examine elements of people’s lives like their physical well-being, emotional coping and conflict resolution skills.

We are a group of bilingual therapist, among the issues that we explore are: relations, career, personal challenges, trauma, family dynamics and sex issues; also, gender infinity issues, power and control issues, inequality, intimacy, sexual problems, conflict and self-awareness. We provide our clients with a friendly and respectful environment that facilitates exploration and the possibility of seeing challenges from a different angle or perspective, with deep respect, an interested presence, and a curious attitude about our client's viewpoint. We believe in the power of healthy relationships. Relationships can be transformed if we are ready to re-invent ourselves.

Do you find yourself at a crossroads in life? Are you seeking to move from being "stuck" to "unstuck"? Are you looking for additional perspectives to your issues and concerns? Difficult seasons in our lives can be expected, and sometimes our old ways of coping or adapting do not meet the need of our season. I enjoy working with clients, their family, and support system in exercising autonomy to choose what is best for them. I believe you can adapt to meet the need of your season without losing the essence of what makes you, you.

#REAL #AUTHENTIC #EMPATHY #LOYALTY are my core values, creating a powerful therapeutic relationship, becoming a vehicle that promotes substantial personal growth & empowerment. Psychotherapy gives us the chance to stop & look at our own lives & make the decision to live a life of purpose. While considering a multicultural perspective, I have been trained to help my clients reach their unique individual goals, guiding them along their life journey with an existential psychological perspective While it is inevitable that we suffer, we all have the freedom to choose how we face our struggles & the nature of our existence in the world.

As a counselor I am curious and sensitive to each person’s unique experience. I understand the body we occupy matters. Our physical abilities, family of origin, race, class, gender, sexuality all play a part in how we understand ourselves and the world around us. While I value difference, I also believe we all have core needs. The need to be loved, accepted, seen and felt is at the heart of being human. My approach with clients is rooted in these core needs.

Do you feel like you've been trying on your own to improve or you simply do not even know where to start? Maybe you feel that it would help to talk with someone that is not part of your friends/family circles? It can feel overwhelming when your problems seem too big to figure out on your own. In counseling, you have a space to freely and openly discuss difficult topics and sort out and process all of life's difficult issues and come out feeling empowered and at peace.

Danielle "Dani" Ellis is a counselor, coach, and psychotherapist who helps people having difficulty coping with emotional or behavioral problems that are affecting their happiness and peace of mind. She assists her clients by focusing on resilience, empowerment, assertiveness, and positive actionable change. Treatment is based on a wellness perspective where clients are understood, accepted, and encouraged to focus on their individual uniqueness and strengths rather than identifying with an illness or diagnosis. She helps clients heal from trauma, confront unhealthy habits, develop insight and awareness, and learn new ways to cope.

Therapy is a journey, and some clients enter my office with very little to no hope for themselves or for change. I assure my clients that I will hold the hope for them until they can hold it for themselves. I believe that therapy is most effective when we explore the source of our self-limiting beliefs. This involves looking into our family of origin, and how we came to think, feel and behave as we do. Through exploring the source, clients often come to see themselves in a new light which helps them develop a deeper sense of self-love and worth.

I have a passion for working with clients of diverse ethnicity, age, and gender, my clients include children, individuals, couples and families. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, family therapy-based, culturally sensitive, and client-centered. I base my approach on the belief that the client is the expert on his or her life circumstances and that my job as a therapist, is not to dictate treatment, but to shape the process using the values, desires and needs of my clients.

"You are here on earth because there is something that only you can do!" Choosing Now as the time to act and being fully present in your body and in your relationships will take you to infinite possibilities. All of life's answers lie in how deep you are connected to yourself. Do not turn your attention elsewhere to look for the truth, for it is nowhere to be found but within your body.

Do you find yourself repeating patterns in your life and/or relationships? Do you feel stuck or powerless to change? Are you in the midst of a huge life transition or is your relationship in crisis? I can help. I believe deeply that change is possible for anyone, and it begins with a safe and accepting environment to explore the barriers to happiness. My approach to therapy is warm, direct, non-threatening and empowering, with a focus on identifying patterns, negative beliefs and/or obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals. You can heal wounds, release resentment, find your voice, and live life more fully.

I have significant experience with crisis management & intervention, assessment & diagnosis, clients who are prescribed psychotropic medications and professionals in high-stress careers (Health, LEOs, Law, Ed.).

A challenging responsibility in life is to heal emotional wounds. Family crisis, divorce, losses, anxiety or having a child with emotional or intellectual barriers to be successful in life without finding the desired answer creates frustration and distress. Psychotherapy as an alternative isn't the easiest answer but could be insightful and resilient. Children with developmental difficulties, learning disabilities, autism or conduct disorders can benefit from a holistic approach that considers the healing of their emotional pain as resource for reaching developmental goals. I work with a collaborative approach. You will discover your own potential and solutions to your specific circumstance.
