Together, we will work to build a trusting and authentic relationship where you will feel validated, supported, and empowered as you work toward your counseling goals.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 25 years of experience. My focus is on adolescents and adults. I have had the pleasure of working with clients from a variety of backgrounds. I strive to help clients identify and achieve their personal goals. I enjoy working with clients who are moving from adolescence to young adulthood, adults who are looking to enhance their life experience and those who are working through change. Working collaboratively in a therapeutic setting is a unique and personal experience and I learn from each and every client I work with.

I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety and trauma informed care. I also specialize in the treatment of women's issues, not limited to infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum depression, anxiety & OCD. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 17 years and have developed trainings in mental heath, treatment and professional authority.

Have you faced painful experiences that are impacting your daily life? I believe that past experiences can cause "sore spots" that can impact us in the present. I have helped countless individuals work through past experiences for healing and personal growth. I have extensive training on techniques to help my clients on this journey including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I am amazed every day by the way this treatment has helped my clients transform their lives.

Sometimes the struggles we encounter can feel overwhelming and frustrating. Are you dealing with grief and loss, infertility, trauma, anxiety, stress, difficult life transitions and more? Counseling can help you find that support and identify the tools to help you heal. I work with adults and have a special interest in working with individuals struggling with infertility (including those that have ended the medical treatments and need support), miscarriage, and child loss. Immediate openings.

Congratulations on taking an important step in your mental health journey— finding the right therapist! I work with a wide array of individuals, who are seeking help for a specific problem(s) or, who are simply looking to expand upon their understanding of themselves & their life experiences. In sessions, I aim to provide a comfortable, safe, and unbiased space where you feel inspired to communicate and empowered to collaborate on your goals.

Danielle Herold received her Master's Degree in Social Work from New York University and a Master's Degree in Education from Lesley University. She is a trained psychotherapist who has experience in both inpatient and outpatient psychotherapy settings and has worked with adults, children, families, couples, and groups.

Deciding to take a stand on your mental health is a bold and courageous personal step. I have a deep passion to help woman navigate mental health issues related to battling infertility, miscarriage, child loss along with women’s health related issues. I am aware how these issues impact mental health by increasing depression and anxiety, self esteem, body image and impact relationships and finances. Additionally, I have extensive experience in working with individuals battling chemical dependency, anger issues, difficulty in relationships, financial hardships and struggling to meet their own personal goals.

I believe that every person can benefit from the support of a trusted helper. As we move through life and experience transitions, challenges and struggles, a person with tools, perspective, and confidence is well-equipped to move forward and to heal. While we cannot change what has happened to us, I believe in healing, growth and resilience. My clients present with a broad range of challenges and are ready to walk alongside a supportive therapist as they make changes in their lives, develop important skills and work towards becoming the best versions of themselves.

Finding the right therapist to open up to can be challenging. I have been in this field for over 15 years and am looking forward to helping you explore how to improve your life. I am skilled in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. I have worked with the substance use disorder population for over a decade and am passionate about supporting those with infertility difficulties. Although I specialize in these areas, I am a general mental health practitioner and am happy to partner with you on your journey for self-care and wellness.

Excited to offer in person sessions on Mondays only starting 4/1/2024! Your life is a unique journey, filled with challenges and moments of joy. I believe that everyone's story, including yours, deserves to be heard, acknowledged, and transformed. I'm here to help you create meaningful change in your thoughts, actions, and relationships using therapeutic techniques paired with the safety that a strong therapeutic relationship can bring. I work with diverse individuals and welcome people of all genders including teenagers, college students, adult individuals, couples, and families, addressing:

I believe in the importance of relationships; the relationship you have with yourself and your relationship with others. I work with couples to improve communication, emotional/sexual intimacy, learn love languages, rebuild respect and trust, and adjust to parenthood. I work alongside individuals who are on their journey to strengthen their emotional well being, lessen anxiety, obtain insight into triggers/behaviors and unlearn old ways of thinking with new ways of being. I help individuals and couples navigate the emotions and adjustments to life transitions, such as a child, grief and loss, careers, and relationships.

Are you struggling to find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable? As a seasoned clinician, I foster a safe, trusting environment to enable growth and healing. With over 35 years of direct clinical experience as a therapist, I specialize in individual therapy focusing on various issues, including anxiety, depression, post-partum and infertility trauma, work and relationship stress, and much more. I provide evidenced-based interventions tailored to support your journey towards emotional well-being.

Therapy can be a transformational process of self-discovery facilitated by deeper levels of awareness and change. I believe we have an inherent ability to heal ourselves, and my primary focus is to honor and trust your experience. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life stressors can interfere with living a fulfilling life, causing problems in your life and relationships, and leaving you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, lost or numb. I believe that therapy should meet the individual where they are within their unique set of circumstances.

Life transitions and relationships can be challenging. Life changes whether they are expected or unexpected can cause anxiety, stress, and sometimes depression. Trying to start or grow a family can be more difficult than it is made out to be. Facing relationship difficulties whether it be the relationship you have with yourself or with a significant other and questioning your sexual or gender identity can be challenging. If you want to have some additional support and tools to navigate difficult times.

How do you start? It starts with a conversation. The idea that therapy is is about giving advice, a one sided conversation, couldn’t be farther from the truth. Therapy is for you, to let out what’s been holding you back, to figure out how to cope with situations so that you can wake up tomorrow feeling like a better version of you. I want you to achieve your goals through use of talk therapy where we can process your thoughts, feeling and behaviors together.

My goal as a clinician is to create a safe space where we can work through issues that may be causing you distress, and eventually celebrate your positive growth. I may be a particularly good fit for those seeking support around interpersonal relationships, life transitions, trauma, anxiety or depression. Together, we will explore the patterns in your life that are no longer serving you. I am also a certified perinatal mental health provider and have a special interest in working with folks navigating challenges around parenthood including postpartum depression/anxiety, birth trauma, pregnancy loss and infertility.

You have a complicated relationship with sex. There are many reasons for this, and you recognize the need to explore exactly how it all connects. You want to feel more confident as a sexual being, overcome anxiety around sex, and feel a deeper connection to yourself and your partner(s).
