Danae Sonnenfeld

If you’re feeling constantly overwhelmed—juggling work, kids, and everything else—and starting to feel anxious, irritable, or just not like yourself anymore, you’re not alone.

I work with high-functioning women and moms who are used to holding it all together, but are quietly burnt out underneath. Many of my clients come in feeling stretched thin, mentally exhausted, and unsure how to slow things down.

Before starting my private practice, I spent several years working in mental health settings, including serving as an Assistant Director on an Intensive Mobile Treatment (IMT) team. That experience shaped how I show up now—practical, grounded, and focused on helping you feel better in your actual day-to-day life.

In our work together, we’ll focus on understanding what’s really driving your stress and finding realistic ways to create more space, clarity, and balance.

I currently accept insurance through Headway and am accepting new clients. Feel free to reach out to see if it feels like a fit.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to create a treatment plan that fits your needs. My style is collaborative and action-oriented - we'll work together to identify what's getting in your way and develop concrete skills to move forward.

You can expect a thoughtful, highly personalized experience where we focus deeply on what’s bringing you in and what you want to shift. In our first session, we’ll clarify your goals, explore patterns that may be holding you back, and begin building a clear, tailored plan forward. My approach is collaborative and insight-driven, while also practical—I’ll help you develop concrete tools you can apply in your daily life. Clients often leave feeling both understood and with a clearer sense of direction.
