I look forward to learning more about you and providing you the support you need, support without judgement or criticism, and the support you likely have not gotten in the past. I work with my clients using my whole heart as you are likely seeking help due to suffering from adverse childhood experiences, large or small, that continue to impact you today. Trauma rears itself in our daily lives. It becomes the template to which we experience the world. You no longer have to live that way. Let me walk with you. Let me guide you.

Dr. Wines fundamentally believes people have the capacity to resolve their own problems with awareness and a willingness to change. Her assistance may unlock these abilities, while monitoring and evaluating the process. In relationships, the answers to questions are found by looking at trends and outcomes, along with self-acceptance and a commitment to authentic living. Having a well-balanced life means nurturing oneself and recognizing our existence is made more meaningful when we serve others! Ultimately, true evaluation of the past and present experiences can affect our interpretation of such, which affects how we feel and behave!

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.

Authentic connection gives our lives meaning, but relationships are often difficult to navigate. Do you struggle with relationships? Find it difficult to know what you really want, and even harder to communicate it to others? Do you work so hard to keep everyone else happy that you feel disconnected from your own needs? It’s frustrating when your boundaries feel like lines in the sand—easily erased by demanding partners, bosses, colleagues, even friends. Is past trauma impacting your ability to connect in the present? For over 20 years, I’ve helped people just like you forge fulfilling relationships with others and with themselves.

Do you want to be seen and heard in your significant relationships?? Are you motivated to change?

While my therapeutic style calls upon several well established and effective counseling approaches, my main focus is on interpersonal relationships. My passion is to guide my clients on a journey to discover inner strengths and to develop positive patterns of interaction. I am a professional counselor and a marriage and family therapist that loves working with families. All aspects of family life and members of the family (individuals, couples, single parents, entire families, and blended families) are of interest to me. I know that what affects one person in the family affects all members of the family.

Sometimes life is overwhelming. Sometimes we feel alone. Sometimes things come into our lives that we are not expecting and they shake us to our core. When this happens, we can't think clearly and we can't see our next step. Whether you are experiencing grief, loss of a relationship or a job, difficulty setting life goals or coming to terms with your current situation, you need someone to come along beside you to help you through. Someone who has been through life's struggles and made it through to the other side. You need someone to help you sort things out so that you can find your own solutions and be able to move forward.

Life gets messy. It can be complicated, sticky, and just plain overwhelming. I get that. No matter what specific issue caused you to seek counseling, I want to hear about it. I want to hear from you and learn about you. I want to get to know the important things, your values, goals, interests and dreams. My role is to walk alongside you and help sort through things when the mess just seems like too much for one person, one parent, one couple, or one family to handle. You don't have to go through this alone.

Are you struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, grief or loss? Are you feeling confused or insignificant? Chances are if you're looking for a therapist, you've already made several attempts at solving the problem on your own. Sometimes we need additional support in challenging times. That's what therapy is about - and I am here to help you navigate these challenges. I view each client as a unique individual dealing with unique circumstances. We can talk about your concerns and identify achievable goals. You can find hope, gain understanding and experience personal growth and healing.

I am a counselor and co-owner of Third Coast Counseling and Wellness. My masters degree is in Clinical Psychology and I have been working in the behavioral health field for over 10 years. I have worked in both private practice and public mental health services. I treat patients with and without health insurance using evidenced-based practices and down-to-earth sessions.

I hold an abiding belief that no matter how difficult a person's circumstances may be, it is possible to produce meaningful change. I walk with my client on a unique journey towards self-enhancement, wellness and goal attainment. My theoretical basis takes into consideration the developmental stage of not only the individual but the family as well. In this effort, we explore the emotional and psychological demands of individuation and adaptive coping development. Ultimately, my job is to work myself out of a job, so that you can feel self-assured to carry on without my intervention.

I understand that life brings unexpected transitions. During these transitions people sometimes need someone to help facilitate change, someone to listen without judgment, or voice their thoughts in order to gain a fresh perspective. The goal in counseling is to help those in crisis, navigate through grief, anger, confusion, and those who feel out of control gain control. I have worked in several inpatient hospitals and private practice for six years and that has allowed me to counsel military families, clients with suicidal thoughts or attempts, addicts, and those who struggle with psychosis.

Allowing my clients to experience the world of counseling in a positive way. I practice positive psychology, which will give my clients a whole new way of looking at their lives, even though the world may not be the most positive place they see. My clients will be introduced to skills that will help them move forward in a life they thought they were "stuck" in. I help my clients see their strengths as their motivators for life's uneasy situations. I am a counselor that is a Christian, and can assist those clients that use faith as a basis for handling life's obstacles.
