Dache Porter

I am deeply passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and empowering space for adolescents, adults, parents, caregivers and educators to feel heard, valued, and understood. I know how difficult it can be to navigate life while balancing family expectations, academic/career pressure, relationships, identity, loneliness, low self- confidence, depression, emotional regulation, and the constant feeling that you have to hold everything together. With 4 years of experience working in the education setting I have the unique insight of understanding the challenges students, parents or educators are navigating.

My approach to therapy is client-centered, strengths-based, and collaborative. I tailor sessions to each client’s unique needs while incorporating evidence-based interventions to support emotional growth and healing. I believe in meeting clients where they are and helping them develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. I aim to create a therapeutic space that feels supportive, engaging, and empowering.

Clients can expect the first session to feel welcoming, supportive, and conversational. The session focuses on building rapport, discussing current concerns, and identifying goals for therapy. I encourage clients to share at their own pace without pressure or judgment. My goal is for clients to leave feeling comfortable, supported, and hopeful about the therapeutic process.
