Danni’s Therapy
Tell us a little about you and your practice.
In my practice I see primarily teens who fall under the LGBTQ umbrella, assisting them in becoming adults who think and make good choices, I work with families regardless of their spiritual, religious or schooling choices and with many different family dynamics.
What lead you to the position you’re in now?
I started with the Resource Center in Dallas while working on my LCSW license and learned that I love working with teens and when I completed my licensing process and moved to my own private practice many of my teens and adults were able to follow me.
What sets your practice apart from other counselors?
I am willing to accept people where they are, I do not claim to understand all of the dynamics of being LGBTQ but I am familiar with many of them and the resources they need to successfully navigate this time in their lives. My teens and adult clients will tell you I often send them home with a written list of things we have agreed together will benefit them, tasks to complete, ways to relax or conversation topics to share.
I take time on the weekends to do fun things with my spouse and children, we love to explore the area, hike when it is not too hot and find festivals and events to attend.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
I love seeing the growth in people, when they can verbalize their feelings and feel valued as who they are.
How has being a part of the CityCentral community affected you and your practice?
I love the ease of getting in the building and that I never feel like I am in a huge building alone even when I see clients late in the evenings
If you had a friend in town, and you could take them to one of your favorite restaurants or spots in your community, where would you take them to?
