Deep, respectful understanding is one of the most important things to have from someone. I have found that when one receives this deep respect, great reservoirs of untapped strength are opened. Through it, I have seen people find hope, creativity, and happiness.

Welcome! My name is Dan Meier and I am a relational, psychodynamic therapist. In practice, this means I work collaboratively with my clients and pay special attention to stories, embodied messages, and relational dynamics. I work this way because I believe harm and healing both take place within the context of relationship. Counseling offers the opportunity to explore our painful stories in the presence of an attuned, compassionate professional and rediscover our hope. Together, you and I will work toward meaningful change, greater self-acceptance, and deep healing.

Sometimes in our lives, we can become overwhelmed by emotions that feel like they could blow us over. Letting ourselves feel these emotions may seem like too much or too inconvenient. As a result, we may begin to hide these emotions through denial, isolation from loved ones, or by acting out. Of course, over time, this can be exhausting and lonely. It can also take a toll on our relationships, as well as our physical, emotional and spiritual health. My hope for you and I is to collaboratively discover ways to meet moments of challenge with openness and kindness.

Are you finding yourself stuck? Hopeless? Is your relationship struggling with communication, intimacy and connection? You are not alone. You have taken a courageous step in reaching out. My approach to therapy is collaborative, systemic, and strengths based. I am interested in the meaning made from your stories and life experiences. I find it is often in these stories, told to us and by us, that we find meaning and purpose. Unfortunately, not all these stories are desirable.

I am a licensed psychologist and EMDR Certified Therapist and Consultant. I approach my work with compassion, seeking to connect with you, understand you and what has you coming for therapy, then structuring the therapy and implementing the EMDR protocol to get you from where you are to where you want to be. I make effort to listen deeply and bring warmth, collaboration, playfulness, an engaging style and specialized skills to our work together. While many therapeutic approaches focus on understanding and managing symptoms, with EMDR we have the potential to fully resolve the issues which lead to your symptoms.

The only person you will spend every single day of your life with is yourself. Meaning that you ought to come to know, accept and eventually love that person. As a therapist, my approach functions through the lens of learning to understand ourselves and our own unique needs. This often involves the process of undoing how unfairly we’ve learned to treat ourselves, releasing our reliance on maladaptive coping mechanisms and moving on from our previously needed survival strategies. The work we do in therapy enables us to create the life we’ve always desired and deserved.

I want to recognize the courage it has taken you to begin the search for counseling as you face something unsettling that is occurring in your life or the life of a loved one.

I would consider it a privilege to journey together with you. I believe that in the relationship that we form together we can access your wisdom and courage, and mobilize your resilience and resources in order for you to move towards a fuller, richer life.

Do you feel like you/your teen's life has been shaken up? You are going through a transition and are finding things more challenging than they used to be. You have tried to get things to settle down, but juggling everything isn't working any more. There is so much that you want to do but you are too overwhelmed to get started. The things you have to do keep piling up and the everyday tasks have become difficult. You feel like you don't have the space you need for relationships and feel guilty for letting the people closest to you down. Your emotions go from 0 to 60 over the smallest things and you feel as if you aren't good enough.
