Therapists in Richlandtown, PA

Hi, I'm Danna. Thanks for being here! It has been my honor to support a diverse and growing client base for over 9 years as a Licensed Counselor and Psychotherapist. I received a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling / Art Therapy from Antioch University many years after I completed a Bachelor's of Fine Art at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and moved into my early career working at nonprofits and public art programs. My interest in therapy grew out of observing the potential of creative process and collaborative approaches to care. While my training in art psychotherapy and expressive modalities can be uniquely helpful at times, there is no requirement and zero skill, experience, or even interest in art is necessary for clients. I have offered counseling services to people of all ages and backgrounds experiencing challenging events, symptoms, and struggles in life. From community health-centers and nursing homes to a prison and an inpatient psychiatric hospital, I have worked with hundreds of clients over the years. This invaluable learning guides my practice today, while I tailor each session to the evolving needs and aspirations of the person in front of me. Working from a perspective that is client-centered and relational in nature, I provide therapy informed by what is happening in my client's life, goals we establish together and experiences in the moment. I believe a customized, transparent therapeutic process helps build trust, healthy communication and self-awareness. My style is warm, accepting, and straightforward. By expanding choices and re-establishing trust throughout, I encourage clients to identify what works for them and advance a sustainable, empowering framework we co-create over time. I appreciate the chance to support your own definition of mental health and a greater sense of well-being in life. Your questions and concerns are important. so please feel free to share them. If working with me seems like a good fit, I look forward to hearing from you!

I enjoy talking to folks about what is going on in their present life first, then after trust is established going more into family of origin and childhood.
