Feeling lost, hurt, emotionally drained and afraid, let me help. I know that asking for help is so very hard especially when at times it feels as if no one could possibly understand and you're alone in pain but I am here to help. I have been helping for almost 20 years and I am honored when I get to be a part of your life. If you allow me, I will go with you through your difficult journey to find that peace, relief and sense of purpose you so desperately seek. I am a Christian and use the same teachings and beliefs that Jesus led and talked about that taught acceptance, love, compassion, forgiveness and peace.

As a Christian therapist, I also utilize faith-based principles at your discretion.
Making the choice to seek help in overcoming hardships in your life can be one of the scariest and one of the most rewarding actions a person can take in their life. If you find yourself here, you may be considering a journey towards long-lasting and significant change. In each stage of life, there are unique challenges that can impact your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health. Lack of support, encouragement, or sense of community make these challenges unbearable. My role is to utilize my training to provide unconditional positive regard and safety when overcoming barriers and discovering effective solutions, together.

Danielle Maronick LW00009607 I have always had an interest in how the brain works and how we think about things that affect our outcomes. I am a believer that changing our self-messaging can impact our lives. This process is done through an exploration of the past, present, and future. I approach my practice as a journey in which we look at past relationships, and present relationships, and hope for future relationships. I find how others have spoken to us and how we speak to our ourselves have powerful impacts on our lives, goals, and relationships.

Let’s just call it how it is: being a teenager and young adult today is hard. The pressure and distractions can make it tough to see beyond the grip of anxiety and depression. It may feel like a far-off fantasy to live a life where your values drive your decisions, your motivation leads you to your goals, and your self-compassion is your rock on the tough days.

I take an approach to patient care that can be characterized by empathy, warmth, compassion, and flexibility to the experiences and backgrounds of others. I consider the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of each patient's issues.

It is of my personal belief that within most of us lies the resources to live a happy life. Unfortunately, things such as trauma, environmental stressors, or a lack of skills can get in the way of our ability to access these resources. Think of the last time you felt an overwhelming sense of peace, whether that be while soaking in a beautiful scenery, or watching children play. This "peace," or what I call "True Self," is within all of us.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
