A ‘Lil Bit More Info
AGES SEEN
Dana enjoys working with ages 12-18.
Dana will work with all ages but enjoys providing therapy to teens the most because they are able to have very serious conversations, but still laugh and make therapy fun. She also enjoys getting to see the increase that therapy can have in teens’ self esteem, communication, and self awareness. Dana hopes that through rapport building she can create a space where kids can express their emotions in a healthy way and not feel judged.
PHILOSOPHY
Dana sees herself and therapy as an extra support for teens as an extra layer of support, providing encouragement and guidance during life’s challenges. She understands that building trust in the therapeutic process takes time, and that’s completely OK! Her approach is patient, compassionate, and tailored to each teen’s unique needs.
Dana believes that lasting progress happens when the whole family is involved. Parents play a crucial role in their child’s therapeutic journey, and she encourages open communication, new techniques, and meaningful conversations to create real change.
Dana helps kids and families reach lasting changes by allowing everyone to have a space to speak freely and not feel judged or silenced. She also works with a client/family to find a tool or technique that is personalized and works best for their lifestyle. Dana wants to find long term solutions that they can continue to use when they are out of therapy.
