Trauma Focused Therapists in Middlesex, VT
Our natural state is wellness. Yet many of us feel sick in our souls. Empty and discouraged, we seek creative bandaids to contain our despair : pursuits of money, relationships, sex, achievement, adventure, good works, productivity. Even health practices can become compulsive activities that fail to mend a persistent sense of inner broken-ness. Mindful Psychotherapy cultivates inherent wellness in the midst of life difficulty and opens the potential for real and lasting change. I am now honored to offer Mindfulness for couples as a certified Dialogue Therapist, a powerful time limited intervention : https://young-eisendrath.com/d

I am a Vermont-licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 25+ years of experience. My heart-centered, compassionate approach is rooted in the belief that healing happens within a safe, genuine, and supportive therapeutic relationship.
I work with individuals of all ages, genders, and life stages. While I welcome diverse populations, I have a special interest in supporting women who have spent years holding it all together for everyone else while feeling overwhelmed, unseen, or emotionally depleted. Many identify as “neuro-spicy” and are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves.

The stories we tend to hold about ourselves can shape our views about the world and our place in it. I am here to help you identify those unconscious beliefs you have about yourself and examine how these beliefs might be holding you back. Often when you are struggling it can feel like you are your own worst enemy. My goal is to help you better understand and accept yourself so that you can begin to work with your brain rather than continuing to fight against it.

One of the best things my dad ever said to me was: Unless you believe in reincarnation, it’s time to be happy now. (Personally, I think this applies even if you do believe in reincarnation.) How to make the most of our time, our relationships, and ourselves - for me, these are the key questions that led me to become a marriage and family therapist. Along with traditional talk therapy, I use EMDR if desired (I am EMDR Certified), as well as IFS, to help you work through present challenges and past difficult experiences so that you can live more freely in the here and now - unencumbered by old self-defeating beliefs and fears.

Change is possible. If we believe the research, therapy works regardless of the modal of therapy. Some of my clients value mind-body techniques, including Trauma Releasing Exercises®, Chinese Medicine, EMDR, and Emmett Techniques, to help change happen. Sometimes the most challenging part is starting.

We all arrive on this Earth with a plan. Sometimes the plan gets muddled, confusing and scary. Sometimes our labeling of these experiences as “bad” can create stagnation in growth and deny us the insight that natural grieving gives to stretch into our higher versions of self. My practice offers a space for deep, compassionate healing and is rooted in the belief that we are all layered, complex, and capable of profound transformation.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and capable, yet struggle with something that feels difficult to name or understand.

My practice is based on the premise that the relationship is key to emotional wellbeing. Life experiences and especially trauma can lead us to distort our interpretations of both our internal and external worlds. My counseling experience began in 2007 working with young people with extensive social, emotional, and behavioral needs. This inevitably raised my awareness of the importance of the family and related support systems. I spent much of my life as a professional musician and have been able to use music in my therapeutic work, supporting the development and maintenance of sharing, self-regulation, and effective communication.

Formerly Danielle Robillard D'Amico. I work with older adolescents, college students, and adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from themselves, their relationships, or the life they are living. You may be navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, grief, trauma, or chronic illness. At times, it is less about a diagnosis and more a sense that something no longer feels right. I also work with women facing life changes and couples seeking deeper connection.

Are you in a tough spot or struggling? No matter what you are going through, therapy is a valuable place to get support, work towards making a change, and create a better understanding of oneself. I believe that therapy can be a beneficial experience for anyone as it provides a safe space to process feelings/stressors and to be heard and understood. My approach to therapy is grounded in relational theory - focusing on the therapeutic connection between an individual and their therapist - as this is one of the best predictors of progress and improvement over the course of therapy.
