Channing Dane

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about creating a sex positive, nonjudgmental environment for those with a wide range of presentations from mood disorders, gender identity, sexual expression, to relational or intimacy troubles. I strive to be informed and affirming to diverse populations and welcome sex workers, gender non-binary folx, non-monogamous people, and Kink or lifestyle persons.

I express my authentic self through my hobbies and spiritual practice. You can often find me playing tabletop role-play games like D&D, entertaining at Renaissance Faires, and playing video games across all platforms. I also enjoying fencing and archery, skating in my old Roller Derby gear, as well as Pole Dancing and other Aerial Arts. Humor and laughter is central to my life.

It is important to work collaboratively to find the tools that work best for you while I simultaneously meet you where you are at in the healing process. My goal is to create a safe space where together we can explore the expression of your authentic self. I help by bringing awareness to maladaptive patterns and the rigid systems we have developed over the course of our lives through our attachments.

My approach explores core beliefs, trauma, unmet needs, and the shame and fear that holds us back from realizing a life of whole-hearted fulfillment. I work from an Attachment and Family Systems perspective with aspects of Gestalt, CBT, and Dr. Brené Brown’s shame and vulnerability work.
