Therapists in Davidson, NC

My name is Daria Datnoff, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked in the therapeutic field since 2011. I base my practice on the belief that symptoms of disorders are rooted in impaired relationships with significant others, as well as the natural world. As a result, true healing will only occur within the context of relationship, and nature. I am experienced in an eclectic range of high-quality healing modalities including narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, nature therapy, and relational therapy.

Anxiety and difficulties with emotional regulation underlie many problems experienced by people of all ages. Some of these conditions are generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, depression and marital problems. I work with adults using mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral therapies. These therapies are proven to be effective means of reducing anxiety and equipping my clients with skills that they will use the rest of their lives. These skills allow them to think more accurately, live mindfully and regulate emotions leading to reduced stress and healthier interpersonal relationships.

Partnering in the healing process with my clients is such an honor for me. I work with a variety of issues, with a focus on healing from trauma, or adverse life experiences. I can also help with life changes and stress, anxiety, addictions, eating disorders, phobias, low self-esteem, relationship issues, secondary traumatic stress, complex trauma and dissociative "disorders." I work hard to meet the needs of each individual, providing a safe, non-judgmental, empathic space essential for healing. I am up front and "real," while highly nurturing, and caring; I believe in the transformative effects of the therapeutic relationship.

You have BIG feelings and always have. You are sensitive to your environment, tuned into the subtle nuances and energies of the people/world around you. You feel it in your gut. You sense it in your body. You were bullied, shamed, or invalidated for these feelings growing up – told you were too sensitive. You learned to doubt, squash, numb, or project those feelings onto other people and things as a way to stay safe in a world that doesn't have time for such things. You people-please, overwork, over-think, detach. You run from your feelings until they suddenly consume you. Disconnect or engulfed. You crave harmony inside and out.

I support long-term couples struggling with conflict and disconnection who may feel unsure how to solve their challenges or rekindle their loving dynamic. I help couples improve communication skills, identify and express underlying vulnerable emotions, and ultimately deepen their intimacy and romantic connection. I also support folks with dysfunctional family and/or religious histories, who are interested in alternative healing approaches. This may entail witnessing the pain and patterns of the past, and then potentially reclaiming and reimagining their relationship with spirituality.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of clinical experience. I have extensive experience working with individuals with issues like anxiety, depression, impulse control, addiction, chronic and life-threatening illness, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship/family problems, stress management, and job stress. I combine a variety of modalities, perspectives, and techniques including client-centered, cognitive behavioral, existential, humanistic, mindfulness, solution-focused, somatic, and trauma-informed care. My mission is to help you manage stress and find more balance in your life.

Whether you have experienced a recent setback or are trying to come to terms with an ongoing struggle, my goal is to be an unbiased listener providing reflective and direct feedback to help you gain insight and clarity. I am a gender-affirming therapist specializing in working with those in a life transition, struggling with their identity, or looking to evolve from the way they were raised. In couples counseling, I work with monogamous, open/poly, and kink relationships.

As a compassionate therapist specializing in trauma, ADHD, adult autism, and depression, I provide a safe and supportive space for folks to explore their emotions and experiences. Using evidence-based practices and a client-centered humanistic approach, I use a team-based model with my clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs. Whether you're struggling with past trauma, navigating the challenges of ADHD or adult autism, or feeling overwhelmed by depression, I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and growth.

I was diagnosed with ADHD, Learning Disabilities, and various other labels. None of those labels mattered though, because when I found someone who cared and listened everything changed. We all have the ability to overcome the challenges in our lives and gain personal strength through the therapy process.

The clients I work with are seeking therapy to navigate difficult life transitions, create repair after impactful life experiences, navigate complex relationships, regain their ability to experience a full range of emotion and have accountability without shame. Often, they are aware and understand what should be helpful to them, but struggle to turn that knowledge into change. We will work together to explore your relationship with yourself, how it developed and how it is impacting your ability to live a fulfilled life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Frustrated and struggling in relationships? Have you been noticing that your past trauma keeps popping up, especially when you least expect it, and all you want is to gain your control back? No matter your reason for seeking support, we will collaborate to establish a plan that meets your desires and goals. My intention is to create a compassionate and empowering space for us to explore the responses and experiences you have that have become too uncomfortable, and support you in doing the work to ultimately free you from the hold of your past trauma and receive the healing you’ve been waiting to receive.

Through great pain comes better awareness and understanding about ourselves and the world around us. My journey as a counselor began during my experience with war deployments, which inspired my search to find ways to help others who are hurting. After completing my Master's degrees in Couples and Family Counseling, I have worked extensively with the court system, with families in need, and with individuals of all ages. My other passion in life is speaking and learning more Spanish. I offer therapy sessions to adults, children, families, and couples. I am a certified hypnotherapist.

Things are not going the way you want. Maybe you're having the same struggles you've had before. You're stressed, anxious, unhappy. You have many responsibilities, you're frustrated, under so much pressure. But, at the end of the day, you don't have the relationship or life you want. It seems easier for other people. You may be feeling alone or lonely. It eats away at your confidence. In private you might question your self-worth, think you're not good enough. Maybe others think you have it all together, or they rely on you. It is especially confusing if you are successful in other areas. You are used to fixing things on your own.

For over a decade, I have worked with individuals struggling with a wide range of difficulties and acuity, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and personality disorders. I work particularly well with clients struggling with worry, anxiety, anger, and shame. I prioritize creating a warm, non-judgmental space where my clients can increase awareness of their emotional and relational patterns, including how difficulties relate to our larger context. My clients express appreciation for my transparent, collaborative, compassionate, & well-informed approach.

Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.

You may be here because you are wanting to learn how to reconnect to your true self and become more resilient in the face of your difficult lived experiences and traumas. Perhaps you have developed patterns of low self-esteem, hurtful self-dialogue, addiction or other harmful behaviors, and struggle to relate to others in your life. As humans, we naturally develop self- soothing methods to help us survive and meet our needs, however some of these strategies are unhelpful in the long term. You may now be finding yourself at the stage of change to confront these patterns, learn new coping strategies, and return to your true self.
