About me
Hello. I'm Dana, (pronounced Danna), an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 26 years experience providing counseling to individuals and couples (including LGBTQ+) facing challenges in or related to their relationship. that are growing and need professional help. You'll learn skills and insights that you'll benefit from implementing throughout your life. The result is a living your optimal life rather than existing. I had the honor of working with members of the U.S. Navy supporting and educating them on the importance of a healthy mind and body. It was often said a sailor is not mission ready until both mind and body are in peak physical condition. This is something we can all remember to do for ourselves. The benefits are endless.
Originally from Brooklyn, NY I ventured to the Midwest to attend Washington University in St. Louis where I earned my bachelors degree in psychology. I then headed to Chicago to pursue my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology. Five years later I was fully licensed to practice independently in Illinois.
I am certified as a level one Gottman therapist. I was incredibly fortunate to be trained by Drs. John and Julie Gottman themselves! This methodology has been scientifically studied, replicated and validated providing accurate and consistent outcomes. The assignments you'll receive require time, effort and brutal honesty. You must be fully committed to the counseling process and completing all assignments. These are invaluable in developing your tailored treatment plan and offer tremendous insight to your relationship. Individuals may choose to utilize this method if their partner is not initially interested in participating. Often when the non-participant sees some of the worksheets and the thought-provoking questions asked, they may be willing to join you in couples counseling. If not, you will get through this exuding self-confidence, moving on to a healthy and fulfilling life, I will support you for as long as you need.
