Therapists in First Hill, Seattle, WA

I currently am unable to take new Clients. Hello and welcome! Are you feeling overwhelmed and anxious as you tackle your daily life? Do you feel lost and ungrounded while taking on new life challenges? Or, perhaps do you feel isolated and alone, and full of confusing emotions? If so, I am here to be of help. I have been working with people dealing with these challenges and more for over ten years. We have addressed issues related to anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, sexual assault and abuse, family relationships, ADHD, identity, and attachment. Although, life can be confusing and full of unknowns; growth

I work with clients who want more satisfaction and meaning in life and relationships. The pain of anxiety, low mood, ADHD, addictive or compulsive behaviors, transitions, loss, trauma, or relational distress motivates them to look for change. They are curious about knowing themselves more deeply, through the heart and felt-sense experience, as well as the intellect. To grow beyond the safety of the familiar self in meaningful ways, they are willing to face some discomfort and vulnerability, and commit to useful behaviors and habits. They value this one precious life they have here, and want to make the best of it.

Who, really, is able to hear, feel, and see you . . . bless and name your glory and shame? Only those who continue to do their own courageous work of daring to be truly heard, felt, and seen. Simple but not easy! The journey, however, is worth it. Life changing . . . with the right guide, i.e., presence. A favorite quote comes to mind: "We all come into this world looking for someone looking for us." If that resonates with your heart (courageous or not) then I hope to hear from you. We might just be a good fit? Please email me at: drdanny(at)doc-danny(dot com). Or call: two-zero-six...four-two-nine...four-five-seven-nine.

I specialize in working with those challenged by life transitions, by a shift (large or small) in "seasons" particularly: evolving relationships, moving into lifework and adult status, 12 Step recovery work, health changes in self and others in your life, loss of parents, and creating legacy at any stage of life. Important issues we can address include depression and worry, anger, sadness, stress, decision making, managing conflict, and making choices to increase wellness and balance.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a love for engaging with people on a relational level. I seek to get to know my clients through intentional, empathetic listening. As a Christian counselor, I enjoy being able to weave Scripture into situations and solutions, and seeing God's hand at work in transforming my clients' lives.

I also enjoy coaching individuals toward attaining their personal and professional aspirations.

I work with women who feel they are at a crossroad in their life. They are feeling overwhelmed, stressed and unhappy. They may feel like it's time for changes at home, in their career or with their family. They may have issues with feeling unworthy or unwanted. They might feel a bit confused or a bit lost. But, they know one thing and that is that they do want to feel better. They want a life with more meaning. They want a loving relationship. They want a career that energizes them. They have hope that things can improve.

I support clients with a wide variety of concerns including relationship issues, grief and loss, anxiety disorders, LGBTQ sexual identity and orientation, self-esteem, PTSD, depression, family concerns, and other life changes and stressors.

I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Child, Adolescent, and Family treatment from Seattle Pacific University (2008) and my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Gonzaga University (2001). I have been a Licensed Psychologist in WA since 2010, and I am paneled with most insurance carriers. I have practiced in a variety of settings, including university counseling centers, public school systems, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and mental health agencies. I view my primary role as providing a safe and contained environment where individuals can gain stability, increase insights into themselves, and develop more positive coping strategies.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who is focused on helping adults who are experiencing distress in their lives. My areas of specialty include, but are not limited to, trauma, Posttraumatic Stress, depression, anxiety, and dissociation. I emphasize an individual's strengths and work to help people feel empowered in their daily lives. I use a variety of tools to do this, including EMDR, DBT, and other evidence based practices.

My practice is Buddhist psychotherapy which uses deep inquiry, self awareness and meditation. My goals for therapy are, first, to alleviate suffering and second to deal with symptoms. Then we can address personal growth and existential issues. Most of the work is done in the present moment and is little dependent on our past. The work usually goes quickly and very directly... but sometimes we need to go slow. A typical successful series might be 10-12 meetings. Spiritual matters are usually an important area of concern...What's really important? Is our behavior congruent with those values? So, tell me about that...

You’ve made it this far which lets me know you are brave and likely ready to make some changes in your life. Together we can explore your emotional needs and overcome barriers that limit your full potential, get in the way of your relationships, or keep you stuck. There are many things we can do on our own, but true self-discovery and positive, enduring change is more likely to occur within the context of a caring and committed therapeutic relationship. Together we can pay close attention to what’s bothering you, and to what you need, so that you can begin to develop a healthier self and more loving, fulfilling relationships.
