Taking the first step in therapy is a hard one and I'm happy you're here! My name is Daniel, I am an Licensed Professional Counselor based in New Jersey. I have 4 years of experience working with adults who need help managing stress in the current moment. This stress can have many different causes, I am here to help you figure out how to manage that stress differently and orient yourself with solutions and techniques that will work and grow with your identity and your values.
My therapeutic approach is person-centered and solution-focused, with an emphasis on creating a supportive and collaborative environment where clients feel heard and empowered. I am trained in Motivational Interviewing–Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MI-CBT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and I integrate these evidence-based approaches to help clients develop practical skills for change and healing. Much of my continuing education and independent study focuses on understanding the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), as well as chronic and toxic stress, on human development and overall well-being.
Our first session will begin with a discussion of informed consent and an overview of expectations for services. We will also dedicate time to completing intake questions and initial assessments. The primary goal of this first session is to ensure you feel comfortable with the therapeutic process and have a clear understanding of what to expect moving forward.
