I wanted to work in the mental health field to provide needed help to others. I am a father, husband, and son that understands the rigors of life. I am offering appointments after hours to provide support to those that want it but feel they don’t have the time. I am very eclectic in my therapeutic techniques which allows me to be more fluid to the presenting situation.

The Apostle Paul said “each of us has one body with many members” (Romans 12:4-5). In a similar fashion, Willi Dalaba, LCSW, sees people composed of different parts that make up the whole. Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual all combine to make up an individual. A good counselor, she believes, may need to help a client bring into a better balance these different aspects of their personality. This is part of the theoretical grounding and expertise that Willi Dalaba brings to her years of counseling experience.

My hope is to assist you in transforming those painful, self limiting beliefs and old patterns into realistic and affirming ones. The process I most often use incorporates bi-lateral stimulation of the brain. This is a simple technique that often has profound results. It has been shown to move client's very quickly towards the core healing which is central to lasting results. One of the key benefits of this therapy is the ability to approach new situations /people with creativity, clarity, and new problem solving techniques.This often occurs spontaneously as part of the process.

Counselors have the unique opportunity to facilitate healing and change through their relationships with others. I believe that the seeds of change are first planted through safe relationships where one can be open and honest without judgement. Creating a supportive environment for my clients to process and grow is what I love most about therapy. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults on a variety of mental health issues, including mood disorders, behavioral disorders, trauma, and relationship problems. It would be an honor and a privilege to walk with you on your journey.

A good therapist will partner with you and help you feel empowered to take on whatever life throws at you.

I know how important it is to have someone who will listen. I enjoy hearing others life experience, walking alongside them in vulnerable moments, and having authentic moments of honesty, openness, and healing. The goal of counseling is not knowing everything at the start (or even the finish!) but being willing to try, willing to learn, and willing to share. I enjoy helping others gain understanding about themselves and their world, make progress towards their life goals, and feel more stable in their actions and direction. I look forward to helping you with skills and knowledge that you will act on between sessions and beyond.

I specialize in seeing children who are in foster care and children who have been adopted from foster care, ages 6-12, for counseling. I provide trauma-informed therapy and utilize self-regulation psychoeducation and experiential practice, play therapy, CBT, and EMDR. Children who have experienced trauma (abuse, neglect, grief) often experience emotional dysregulation, behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, and attachment issues. My office is designed to be a safe place for foster and adopted children to explore, express, and process their feelings and thoughts with an emphasis on calming the nervous system.

I work with a broad clientele including children ages 10+, adults, families, and couples. Anxiety disorders are a strong interest of mine. I like to collaboratively identify multiple interventions with clients who have goals related to diminishing and managing anxious symptoms. Building a trusting relationship is also important. Ideally, clients will recognize that they have a strong ally in me. I appreciate working with clients interested in learning more about their diagnosis and related symptoms, exploring how they influence them personally and inter-personally, and generally educating themselves about their mental health.
