Daniel Hodge

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I received my Master's from Syracuse University and my Bachelor's from Houghton University. In undergrad, my focus was on developmental and social psychology with a minor in family studies. My post-graduate experience and training include therapeutic treatment with individuals, parent-child relationships, adolescents, couples, marriage, and whole families. Beyond the therapy room, I have worked with addiction for over 17 years and severe persistent mental illnesses for 3 years. Today I focus on treating mental health issues - whether with couples and marriages, families, or individuals - from a relational lens.

My practice is built on the family systems perspective of behavior and disorders. It recognizes that difficulties often stem from survival strategies developed in challenging or traumatic relational situations and sees every person as separate from their symptoms or struggles.

Those who benefit most from my approach to therapy are those who want to better understand the patterned reactions, roles, cycles, and conflicts interfering with growth, function, and healthy relationships, rather than receiving advice or coaching.

I offer in-person therapy to any potential client and telehealth to individuals (18+) and couples.

The first session is a lot of getting to know you and how you got here. I always let the client know that the first session often feels different from later sessions, because I want to get as much information as I can to paint a picture, and you are also likely thinking about whether I am going to be a goof fit for you.
