Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Clintonville, Columbus, OH

At the heart of my practice lies a deep-seated belief in the resilience of the human spirit. I understand that seeking therapy can be a daunting step, and I commend you for taking it. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and trust, recognizing that every individual's journey is unique. Whether you're navigating the aftermath of trauma, struggling with overwhelming emotions, or seeking to break free from negative thought patterns, I am here to walk alongside you.

I am a queer, affirming therapist. I am non-denominational, but am spiritual in realms of Pagan and Astrology with a splash of Buddhist practices. I am what you get and know my style isn’t for everyone. I believe I can provide a safe, inclusive, and inviting energy and space whether online or in person.

Imagine feeling overwhelmed by the weight of addiction, trauma, anxiety, or depression, unsure of how to navigate the emotional roller coaster of life. You crave inner peace, a sense of control, and the ability to connect mind, body, and spirit. Your goal is to find harmony, accept yourself and others, and ultimately reclaim your life. You want a compassionate guide who understands your struggles and can help you find the laughter and peace within.

Your life feels heavy, hopeless, chaotic and out of control. Your mind is racing, you're exhausted from people-pleasing and your self-confidence is at an all-time low. Anxiety, depression, and stress are ruling your life, and it feels as if you may never feel peace again. You struggle with guilt, comparison, and nothing ever feels like it is enough. You have thoughts that you could never say out loud to friends and family, all the while desperate for support. You need to find yourself. Maybe you know God, maybe you are in question about who God is, or maybe it hurts to even think about God. There's so much you need to sort out.

I work with individuals experiencing significant psychological distress due to marital difficulties and other personal challenges. Many of my clients have resorted to addictive behaviors as a means of coping, while some engage in self-harming behaviors, which can also be considered addictive in nature. Within the confines of my office, couples can find a secure and supportive environment to address their issues and cultivate more resilient and fulfilling relationships.

I am a licensed professional counselor that has been working in behavioral health for over 20 years. I am a lifelong resident of South Jersey and obtained my Bachelors and Masters degrees from La Salle University in Philadelphia.

No matter what our body size, we can find ourselves out of balance with our eating, thoughts, and emotions when we are desperately trying to stay afloat with the demands of life, family, work, and other obligations. Instead of acknowledging what we do well, we may focus on our shortcomings and criticize our abilities and bodies. A vicious cycle of trying to control our weight and eating can lead to further criticism, guilt and disappoinment. At Eating & Behavioral Health Associates, I work with adults of all sizes and body types to find compassion and ease in their life by bringing balance into their thinking, eating and behaviors.

Reaching out for therapeutic support is a courageous step. I am honored to support you in the next steps of your therapeutic journey. In our sessions together, you will have a confidential and compassionate space to process thoughts, feelings, concerns, and fears. I will work with you to identify measurable goals to create a clear and achievable path. Through this process, we will ease difficult feelings, while strengthening confidence and calm. My greatest reward as a therapist is supporting clients in finding their own process, recognizing their strengths, and looking forward to the future with confidence and hope.

I have a particular interest in treating the effects of Religious Trauma Syndrome and those affected by spiritual abuse. If you feel you have been left hurt and confused after leaving a controlling religious organization, you are not alone. I am not a faith-based therapist and am happy to welcome clients in all stages of the questioning and deconstructing process. I have experience working in community-based social services and crisis mental health settings. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma and have 8 years of experience treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders, and bipolar disorders.

It is my hope to provide each of my wonderful client's with a space for personal growth, development, and problem-solving. Using tenets from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and more, we will examine how your thoughts and behavioral patterns are holding you back from being your best self.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or in a difficult relationship, therapy can help create more balance and renewed connection with others. Trained in Marriage and Family Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I use evidenced based practices to work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, and life transitions, as well as, couples and family therapy. My philosophy about therapy is that everyone needs to experience safety, confidentiality and feel understood in order to make necessary changes that can lead to more fulfilling life choices.

Extremes in our emotional and psychological states can lead to imbalance, avoidance and mindlessness, and can be related to extremes in other areas of our health, such as eating, activity, and sleep. Eating too much or not fueling our bodies enough, stress or emotional eating-these are ways we cope with or respond to extremes in our thoughts and emotions, and distracts and disonnects us from our life values and goals. I am here to help you reestablish your values and goals by focusing on a more balanced perspective and awareness of your mind, body and behaviors.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by big feelings like depression or anxiety? Is there a seemingly insurmountable distance between you and your loved one(s)? Are you dissatisfied with relationships with parents, children, or significant others? Does it ever feel like nobody could possibly understand what you're going through? Whether you struggle with family or relationship issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, or other life stressors, therapy can be a major step toward healing.

Every client is unique; therefore, I draw from various theoretical approaches to provide optimal therapeutic care.

Hello, I'm Danielle Norris, a passionate and empathetic Clinical Social Worker based in Columbus, Ohio. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from The Catholic University of America, and since then, I've been committed to making a difference in the lives of those I work with.

Every human has a unique and sacred story, and to tell that story with your whole heart is one of the most critical and beautiful components of growth and wellness. To have the bravery to tell it requires, at the very least, a feeling of psychological safety. My primary goal – in alliance with you – is to create an environment of safety in which trust can grow. And through that trust to experience the freedom to nurture your authentic self. I want to communicate hope, value, and change to my clients who are in the midst of an experience of suffering, and will walk alongside of you in your journey towards your goals.
