I use skills of ACT and Motivational Interviewing and, if appropriate, I use Experiential Therapy in an effort to help individuals gain insight into what is throwing them off balance in their walk.
How challenging is your balancing act? How perilous is the tightrope walk? How far down is the safety net? Is there a safety net? My name is Daniel Yero, I am a licensed mental health counselor whose focus and effort is to help adolescents and adults who are struggling with their balancing acts in life. For some the struggle is with feelings such as depression, anger and/or anxiety, for others, the struggle is with substances or process addiction.

I have specialized training in Trauma Therapy, EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Group Therapy.
Helping people reach their personal goals is one of the most rewarding parts of my work as a therapist. I believe that we carry the means of healing and growth within us. Therefore, you as the client will choose the direction of therapy. Many times, we just need some help listening to ourselves, clarifying our goals, and choosing the means to reach them. I see myself as a guide and resource on your journey; you decide where we are going and I do everything I can to help you get there. The sessions and course of treatment will be as structured or free-flowing as you decide.

I specialize in expressive arts therapy, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues, attachment issues, and trauma. I believe that everyone has the capacity for healing and that expressive arts therapy can be a powerful tool for accessing and processing difficult emotions. I have been working with survivors of trauma for over 6 years, and I have seen firsthand the transformative power of expressive arts therapy. When people can express themselves through art, music, and dance, they can connect with their emotions in a new way, release trauma, and begin to heal.

Do you at times feel misunderstood, insecure, and overwhelmed? ​Disconnected from yourself or the people you love? Life can feel chaotic when we get stuck in old negative patterns. And the conflicts in our relationships can leave us feeling anxious and unsure what to do.​ ​Deep down, you may recognize there is past trauma, but you don't know how to release it. Maybe you have tried talk therapy to gain understanding, yet the wounds seem deeply entrenched in your body. Sometimes you worry that you will never fully heal. And yet you know, deep in your heart, that more is possible for you...

I recognize the impact of trauma in my client's lives and seek to help them embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery. Many of the clients I support are dealing with the effects of past traumas, which may manifest as emotional distress, physical symptoms, or challenges in daily functioning. You may be seeking support for managing body-based distress and are open to exploring body-based tools for healing outside of cognitive therapy. Many of the modalities I use are based on the understanding that trauma is not only a psychological experience but also a physiological one, involving the body's nervous system.

The world is focused on the health, social and economic ravages of COVID-19—and yet humans can only control one's own internal world of emotions, thoughts and behaviors. When these are unbalanced, we experience anxiety, depression and perhaps externalizing symptoms such as addictions and relationship conflict. The added stress of the pandemic may make it more difficult to cope than usual. This may be an opportunity to do much needed work on the most important relationship you have—the one with yourself! How else will all the other important relationships in your life be healthy and rewarding? You be the change!

I believe that true emotional healing comes through holistically tending to the body, mind and spirit. I offer full range psychotherapy services that I combine with several Somatic or body-based techniques. As a registered Yoga Teacher, I have been known to incorporate meditation, breathing or physical postures in my sessions. The research shows that trauma, grief and the after effects of some of our experiences are stored in our bodies. What better way to heal or release them from our bodies than to intentionally use body exercises to move this harmful trauma energy out for good. I work with new mothers, children and families.

Experiential Therapy

How does experiential therapy work?

Experiential therapy works by allowing an individual to use their creativity to re-imagine themselves and their lives in an effort to process their emotions. Experiential therapy may take many forms, including engaging clients through art, re-enactments, role-playing, music, or forms of physical recreation. By focusing on these activities, experiential therapists help individuals identify the emotions they associate with previous experiences and work together to cope with negative reactions, like fear, anger, or shame.

Is experiential therapy evidence-based?

Experiential therapy incorporates many therapy modalities, some of which have been more closely researched than others. Music therapy, for example, has been shown to help with sleep problems. Some studies find that art therapy can be beneficial for those with eating disorders or personality disorders, while other research suggests that such approaches have little impact.

How long does experiential therapy last?

The duration of experiential therapy will depend on the type of therapy used as well as the severity of the challenges an individual faces. Play therapy sessions may last for 30 to 45 minutes, and usually occur weekly for about 20 sessions. Art therapy may comprise 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Music therapy sessions generally last between 30 and 50 minutes and can be scheduled weekly or on an as-needed basis. For each therapy type, clients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

Does experiential therapy help with trauma?

Trauma is one area where experiential therapy may be useful. Traumatic experiences such as combat or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating visual art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. Listening to music can be relaxing, while making music as part of a group provides plenty of opportunities to connect with other people. Play therapy is often of value to children who have experienced a loss or distressing family experience, or who have been physically or emotionally abused.
