Dana Spangler

My clients would say I am down to earth, non-judgmental, authentic, warm and compassionate. I often use humor in sessions and find this can ease discomfort around working through hard things. I show up with my own lived experiences which helps me in my work with clients. I am also learning to navigate the world as chaotic and crazy as things feel while parenting children through the process.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Supervisor and have worked in the field for more than 10 years. My experience ranges from school based therapy, community mental health, hospital psychiatric intake and now private practice. I have worked with children, adolescents adults and couples. I especially enjoy working with those within the LGBTQIA+ communities. My specialties are trauma/PTSD, OCD, Couples work and Anxiety. I also enjoy attachment focused treatments and working through negative beliefs we developed as children.

I use an array of different modalities including: CBT, DBT, Somatic Based Work, ERP, Gottman I & II and EMDR.I am also open and affirming of the inclusive LGBTQ+ community and would love to work with/support you.

We will review a history and background and talk about your concerns for coming to therapy. I will ask about symptoms, your childhood and relationships. From there we will build your therapy goals around those things.
