Introduction

Hi, I’m Dana, a counselor and art therapist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a therapist, I offer a compassionate, collaborative, and affirming space grounded in a person centered approach, where you are seen, heard, and valued as the expert of your own life. I believe that healing and growth occur when we are met with genuine authenticity, empathy, unconditional positive regard for the whole person. I aim to create a safe, stable environment where you can process trauma at your own pace and reclaim your sense of agency, self-worth, and connection. My approach is deeply influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and trauma informed care, helping individuals develop psychological flexibility. I specialize in supporting clients through life transitions and identity shifts, whether related to career, relationships, aging, or gender and personal identity. If you are navigating a major life shift, healing from trauma, seeking greater alignment, emotional balance, or mental health support, I’m here to guide your journey. I offer therapy to clients across Pennsylvania, and I invite you to contact me today to learn how therapy can help you move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
