My name is Danielle Gaston; I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have 6 years of experience treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma, and I work with a variety of other issues, such as procrastination and other work-related issues. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for my clients to start making changes. I think it's important to psycho-educate clients on how the brain works so that they can learn the whys of some of your behaviors, patterns, and triggers to help depersonalize your symptoms as the brain does its job and teach you the tools to make the brain work for instead of against you.

Open, non-judgmental, unconditional positive regard, specializing in trauma, ADHD, and adolescents.
My name is Jennifer Stoneburner, I am an LMFT in California. I think of myself as open, non-judgmental, unconditional positive regard. I specialize in trauma, ADHD, and adolescents. Sessions are like a dance between client and therapist helping clients find the answers they already have. I believe in the relationship between the client and therapist. I think that if there is a trusting connection the approach or model we use does not matter. Some may work better than others, but if the therapeutic relationship is connected then any will work well.

Depending on the client that I am treating, this will determine what our sessions will look like. I am here to help you meet your needs while challenging you to be the best version of you! This may look like us digging into childhood trauma, exploring underlying anger issues, or discussing how to better manage your anxiety. My approach to therapy includes using interventions from Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems Theory, and Psychodynamic Theory. When I am not doing therapy, I am most likely playing with my Beagle, Phoebe, watching my beloved Philadelphia sports teams, reading thriller novels, or cooking a new meal.

At times we can feel overwhelmed with fear and anxiety or stuck in life patterns that do not allow us to access the life we had hoped for.  Part of the "stuckness" can come from past experiences and perspectives we learned from an early age.  Part of it can come from current experiences that leave us feeling lost, afraid, or like we have no control.
