I have nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field. I combine compassion and my clinical expertise to support the clients I serve. My goal is to help clients navigate and overcome their struggles to support and help regain stability in their lives.

I value building a trusting, authentic relationship with each client. It’s important for clients to feel and recognize the growth and progress that naturally emerge through the process. I believe therapy works best when you feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Therapy can help if... You are an adult or teen struggling with life challenges, difficulty managing emotions, behaviors or negative thoughts, lacking support or have a dysfunctional family or relationship. You are a mom or a dad experiencing depression or anxiety during pregnancy or after your child's birth.

You are feeling so overwhelmed and in pain that you can't see a way through and are considering suicide. Deciding to try therapy can be a life changing decision. Making a commitment to doing the work of therapy with the guidance and support of a therapist can lead to amazing results.

If I can help, let me know!

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Hi, I’m Dr. Dani...and I’ll be honest with you from the start: I became a therapist because I believe people deserve a space where they can finally exhale. With over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, my background spans crisis intervention, family systems, and culturally responsive care.

I have a particular heart for women and couples who are carrying a lot... navigating stress, relationships, and life transitions...and doing it often without anyone really seeing them.

That changes here.

Ryan Schaffer

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.

You deserve to feel heard, supported, and understood—and if you’re here, you’ve already taken a meaningful step toward change.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree from the University of Connecticut, specializing in mental health and substance use. I’ve worked with teens, adults, and families across a range of settings, including outpatient clinics, schools, home-based care, and virtual therapy.

I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, identity exploration, relationship stress, and major life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own.

My approach is collaborative, direct when helpful, and grounded in compassion. I use evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care, but I tailor therapy to what actually fits your life—not just a model. We focus on what’s showing up for you right now, while also working toward longer-term stability and change.

Therapy with me is not about judgment or perfection. It’s a space to slow things down, understand what’s driving stress or emotional pain, and build practical tools that help you feel more steady and in control of your day-to-day life.
