I am a clinical therapist licensed in California with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and navigating through life changes. I work with a range of clients from teens to seniors and I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will "meet you where you are", tailoring our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life- whether it's through improving relationships, getting "unstuck", or resolving issues from the past- takes courage and I have a lot of respect for that. I am here to support you in the process of finding a better way to be. *Please note that my availability will be opening up in January.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dana McPherson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
We have only had one meeting but I can already tell this woman knows her stuff! She is personable, kind, and gracious. Excited to continue our sessions!
