Dana Fears
Introduction
I believe meaningful change begins when we feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, clinical supervisor, and trauma-informed therapist with 11 years of experience, I provide a compassionate, collaborative space for healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. My background spans education, advocacy, community mental health, and psychotherapy. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, disability, chronic illness, identity exploration, relational difficulties, and life transitions. I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals navigating acquired disability, changes in identity, and the complex grief associated with significant life changes. My integrative approach incorporates Jungian-informed depth psychotherapy, Brainspotting, somatic interventions, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT). I help individuals explore longstanding patterns, perfectionism, emotional overcontrol, and barriers to authentic connection. My work emphasizes cultural humility, disability competence, emotional autonomy, and respect for each person's lived experience. Therapy is not about fixing who you are, but about understanding yourself more deeply, honoring your experiences, and discovering meaningful possibilities for change.
