I just wanted to make it to the big stage. The constant wondering of what will happen if I don’t turn out to be this amazing athlete that I was told I was so destined to be. No one told me it would be this hard. All I ever heard was "you can do anything you put your mind to." What does that even mean? Well, that didn't work out for me, or at least I had a perplexed understanding of this perspective. Why jump off the porch if a stable way down can be offered. Let’s work together to Keep UP the Score.

Counseling is not just an educational endeavor for me, it is my true life’s passion. As my primary spiritual/natural gift, my purpose on earth is to utilize my counseling skills to serve others in any capacity that I can. We have all felt sad, angry, lonely, misunderstood, unforgiven, misused, abused, fed up, and so on and so forth. Our goal in therapy would be to examine your emotional well being and how it impacts your life. While you process through everything from past trauma to current conflicts, it is significant to know that your growth and healing is what is most important to me.

It takes courage to reflect on yourself and examine your innermost thoughts, feelings, and motives for why you act the way you do. It’s not an easy task, but it's necessary to become healthy. I want to help you achieve this goal. I don’t want to label, stigmatize, or “cure” anyone. I want to help people understand the behaviors that are negatively affecting their lives so that they can create ones that are more satisfying, fulfilling, and meaningful. And I use my knowledge and experience to support anyone interested in doing so.

I am passionate about helping people in need! While I work with many different issues, my greatest passion and experience are in working with teens and their parents, and helping people find freedom from the chains of addiction. I also work with many couples, and with men who are struggling to find their way in life. As a Christian counselor, I do my best to help my clients find peace and healing in their relationship with a loving God, without being preachy or pushing any kind of religious agenda. Put simply, I want to help others find hope and healing.

Dana Booth, LCSW specializes in grief/loss/trauma counseling with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. Having 35 years experience in hospitals, schools, Grief Recovery Center and now private practice, I personally know how sudden, anticipated, or traumatic grief can change your world. Depression/Anxiety often accompany grief/transitions in life and it's a healthy choice to reach out for support. It's a privilege to walk along side one on his/her grief journey. It's too heavy of a burden to carry alone. EMDR and evidence based therapeutic tools can relieve some of the heaviness you carry.

My ideal client is focused on personal growth and healing. Many clients see the process of therapy as a one sided conversation with little opportunity to see others as real people. I am solution oriented while believing that therapy can be a challenging, changing, enjoyable process where clients can experience themselves in new ways. Therapy does not have to be painful. Calling a therapist can be intimidating. Please take a moment to do something for yourself to see how I can help. Often, I hear clients express how they are in fear of losing everything and want to change but don't know how.

Your inner self-critic takes up too much space in your head. People keep saying you’re “too sensitive,” as if it’s a bad thing. You’re worried you're either too much or not enough – and sometimes you’re both at the same time! There's a part of you that knows you deserve more, but there always seems to be something holding you back. As a LPC (Counselor) and a Registered Dietitian specializing in trauma, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, self worth, relationships, and life transitions, I have been able to bear witness to the incredible inner transformation of my clients toward a more joyful, authentic life.
