I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor, licensed in Rhode Island. I also have national board accreditation from the NBCC giving me the NCC certification which is national board certification.
I use person-centered theories, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, coupled with psychodynamic (think Freud, childhood effect on your current functions, your relationships, your underlying trauma, and childhood unresolved). I do label that use of multiple theories as other therapists term as well, so my approach is very eclectic and tailored per the issue and individuals personal cultural views. I listen and practice as culturally aware and curious if I do not share the same culture, I would still always respect you and clients of religious backgrounds. I do all types of counseling and therapy. While I was entering the field, I had adults and children, homelessness, families, parent-child relational co-therapy, childhood disorders and be trauma-focused and informed while I have worked with sexual abuse victims, and parents. I work for people who have stress, people who have self-esteem issues and those who just need someone to validate them. I am gentle, interactive, and warm. I am independently a contractor and if you work with me, you'll see that I am genuine easy-going, and gentle in my pace and never judge anyone as this is the core of my being. I am genuine, authentic, collaborative, warm, and at all costs upholding the ACA code of ethics when areas of challenge present in terms of right and wrong, boundaries, and professionalism.
In my profession, I am an advocate and fight for clients who have been misled or who have difficulties in life due to trauma, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Divorce, Domestic Violence, Anxiety, Depression, and a lot more. I enjoy working with anyone who is honest and can give confidence that I will uphold my practice as the best standards apply.
Sincerely,
Danielle LaPrade, M.S, LMHC, NCC
