Daniel Button

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I look at the web of relationships and environment that shape who you are. I draw on strengths that you may have overlooked (and help you develop new ones) to get you where you want to go.


I have a seasoned background in both faith-based and nondenominational family dynamics. I have had the honor of helping couples and individuals build healthy parameters for their future. If you are at a crossroads -- whether it is a new phase of life (e.g., marriage, job, separation) or you are simply looking for a fresh approach to life -- I can help.


I view each person as uniquely valuable, interesting, and powerful. Because I am so convinced of your potential, I am committed to spending the quality time you need to recognize these traits in yourself and make a real impact in your relationships. Wherever life finds you at this moment, there is a bright path ahead! Let’s discover it together.

Margaret Bianchi

Therapist

Virtual • Dayton, OH


I have been a licensed mental health therapist for over 11 years, and have experienced nearly any challenge one faces when starting therapy. I have a strong passion for my work and I want each person that works with me to feel unconditional care, respect, acceptance, and warmth, while also challenged in a positive way! If you are motivated and have a desire to make improvements, I can help you with any issues bring you into therapy. Taking the first step can feel incredibly difficult, overwhelming, and scary, but is also the beginning of change and growth.
