Great treatment should always start with a humanistic relational foundation.
Anxiety takes on many forms: social, obsessions and compulsions, attachments, phobias, and post-traumatic stress to name a few. Clinical research has shown all of the above to be treatable, given the right therapeutic relationship matched with the right treatment. Daniel has treated clients coping with anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, psychosis, social difficulties, divorce, sibling relationships, unhealthy attachment styles, and various forms of trauma (including PTSD).

Working from a collaborative and eclectic approach, I facilitate and foster a warm, compassionate, and empathetic therapeutic environment providing mental health counseling services, specializing in holistic and humanistic counseling practices utilizing narrative, systems, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) through an attachment and heart-focused lens to help individuals, partners, and families access their well-being, develop insight, and build relationships.

My approach is humanistic.
I have no ideal person who might consult me. I try hard to avoid placing people in theories. What matters is the relationship I will have with you. In collaboration, we formulate the therapy goals and how best to achieve them. Each person brings his/her own entrenched detrimental beliefs, that have blocked achieving such complex goals as satisfaction in love and in work. In therapy, I expect those beliefs to be tested. Where I intervene has more to do with fostering resilience, and with the challenging of fears/anxieties that often accompany the sense of incapacity and isolation.

In my work with individuals, I use Psychodynamic, CBT, and Humanistic therapies.
For the past 24 years, I have journeyed with individuals, couples and families through conflict and trauma. Many of our current problematic behaviors, thoughts, and worldviews have their root in past relationships or experiences that were emotionally or psychologically damaging. In our work together, I'll help you to explore and overcome some of these emotional and psychological blocks. My passion is to hold each person's complexities, identify contributing factors, and provide the best treatment to help them accomplish their goals.

In addition to existential humanistic psychotherapy, I have training in mindfulness, attachment based therapy, EMDR, somatic experiencing, and expressive arts therapies.
I believe that all mental anguish begins with loneliness and disconnection. This is why my approach to psychotherapy is grounded fundamentally in the relationship that we build together. Together we will move through suffering, creatively identifying new possibilities and ways of experiencing life. We will find hope and build your capacity to love both yourself and others more fully. From within this relationship, you will be able to safely try new things, to see what works for you, to ultimately move forward in your life with more ease. I like the expression "human flourishing" to describe this process.

I draw on several approaches for treatment including EMDR, mindfulness-based CBT, and traditional talk therapy, tailoring my practice toward the needs of each person. I use a humanistic attachment lens informed by interpersonal neurobiology. I primarily work with people who have complex intersections of identity and those who have experienced trauma. The trauma may surface through symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or difficulty managing relationships. I work with a lot of individuals who have experienced complex trauma, developmental trauma, a single traumatic event, emotional neglect, and physical neglect.

Traditional psychotherapy works toward congruence in a persons thinking, emotions, actions, and life choices. Body-oriented therapy understands that the body is also profoundly affected by our life experiences. Identifying and releasing attitudes and old images held in our physical structure adds an important component to therapy. This promotes lasting change, allowing for free flow of life energy from within us so we can more fully realize our life, our joy. I am also founder of the Seattle School of Body-Psychotherapy, and enterprise of Body-Psychotherapy of Seattle.

Humanistic Therapists
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
