Dana Tackett-Gesser

I believe that even when life feels heavy, there is still a spark within you worth protecting and nurturing. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply exhausted from carrying so much on your own, therapy can provide a place to pause, heal, and find your way forward. I offer a warm, genuine, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore life's challenges, reconnect with your strengths, and create meaningful change. Together, we'll help your inner spark grow into lasting healing and hope.

My approach is calm, steady, and open‐minded. I meet you exactly where you are with trust, respect, and compassion at the center of our work. I use practical, evidence‐based tools in a down‐to‐earth way that’s easy to understand. My goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and more in control of your life.

Our first session is all about getting to know each other in a way that feels natural and comfortable. I focus on building trust, respect, and genuine rapport so you feel safe sharing what’s been weighing on you. We’ll talk through what you’re experiencing, what you need right now, and what you hope to change. Together, we’ll outline clear goals and decide on a realistic timeframe that supports steady, meaningful progress. By the end, you’ll have a sense of direction and a supportive plan that feels doable and grounded.
