Great to meet you!

Danesha Simmons, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and founder of Dream Identity Counseling, located in the State of Florida. Her passion is to serve striving youth and adults of the community, while specializing in treating Healthcare workers, as they learn how to unlearn unhealthy beliefs and behaviors to become their "Dream Selves" while navigating their past and current experiences and relationships.

Dream Identity is the ability to be your authentic self, internally and externally.

My approach to therapy

As a Certified Family Trauma Professional and Wellness Consultant, she believes that the work of the individual creates a greater system. Danesha uses psycho-education, talk-therapy, mindfulness tools, and expressive art therapy techniques to help you cultivate your "Dream Identity."

She works with her client's to help them find effective solutions to get off their routine “go-mode” of life to promote balance and self awareness to grow.

What you can expect from me

Danesha encourages others to identify their personal strengths and attributes that are unique to creating their authentic selves and work towards overcoming life challenges through integrative approaches and techniques to help them grow from a life of carrying those heavy feelings inside to effective coping.

“We know what we are, but not what we may be.”

William Shakespeare
