Behavioral Issues Therapists in Dover, MA

Hello! My name is Danielle. In today's fast paced world, I'm passionate about providing a caring ear and teaching practical skills to make life feel, well… lighter. My specialization in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) isn't just about talking through problems; It's about learning and implementing new tools to spark an authentic change. This approach, combined with psychodynamic and relational therapies, will facilitate a deeper understanding of yourself and strengthen your connections with others. You're here because you want to rediscover joy in the simplicities of life. And here, your journey has my undivided attention.

Using a integrative style, I work with my clients in order to help them explore the social, emotional, biological, nutritional, and intellectual factors that are impeding them. My primary goal as a therapist is to build warm relationships characterized by acceptance and humor. I find that it is empowering for my clients to take an active role in creating our work together, whether that is short-term treatment targeting a specific problem, or more in-depth work.

In therapy, I provide individuals with the space to process the challenges they are facing and help them to identify and change the barriers impeding growth (unhelpful thinking styles, behaviors, relationship patterns, etc). I utilize interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy, and offer flexibility to meet people where they are and address individual needs. In my practice, I currently work with adolescents (13-17) and adults (18-60) and my overall goal for family therapy is to improve communication, understanding, and connection between family members.
