I’m Dan Spadaro I work with adult men, women, adolescents and families who want to work, heal, and get unstuck. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by relationship struggles, patterns of compulsive behavior, or a sense of being disconnected from life and relationships.

It’s an honor to walk alongside you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, life transitions, or past experiences? Do you want help making sense of your story and reconnecting with yourself? I work with children, teens, and adults navigating growth and healing. With 17+ years in education and 10 as a school counselor, I offer a warm, down-to-earth space to feel heard. I believe each of us has an inner child worthy of care, and I can help you gently reconnect. Whether you’re feeling stuck or seeking clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you. My specialties include trauma, life transitions, and managing anxiety. I’m currently accepting new clients.

When you are navigating the heavy impact of trauma, women's issues, anxiety, or PTSD, finding someone who truly understands your lived experience can be transformative. Over the past nine years of my clinical practice as a social worker, I have dedicated myself to helping individuals find solid ground during their most overwhelming moments. It is a profound honor to sit with you and help establish a safe, empowering space where you can begin to heal. My background includes working with at-risk youth and their families, including those involved in both the juvenile justice and foster care systems; crisis intervention; adults, both individually and as couples; active-duty service members and veterans; and law enforcement and other first responders. Whatever you are bringing to the table, my goal is to meet you with compassion and support you in rediscovering your strength.

I specialize in working with men who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and a longing for deeper meaning in their lives. I am particularly passionate about supporting fathers of young children, men experiencing loss, and those seeking to redefine masculinity in a healthier, more authentic way.

I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology program at Naropa University, where I trained in mindfulness-based, relational therapy grounded in Eastern wisdom traditions.

I am also trained in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) through the Transpersonal Research Institute of Psychotherapeutic Psychedelics and other psychedelic-assisted therapy programs. I consider this work deeply sacred and approaches it with great care, presence, and humility.

As a Missouri Ozarks native, nature and the outdoors have always played a huge part in my healing journey and mental health. Growing up, I was outside any chance I got; riding bikes, riding horses, climbing trees, bird watching, rock collecting, camping, hiking, floating, boating, spelunking, exploring creeks, and enjoying campfires. Nature immersion, movement in nature, outdoor recreation, and horsemanship remain part of my daily practice; and I incorporate these into my therapeutic work wherever possible.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Master’s degree in Psychology and Counseling, my approach is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a holistic understanding of mental wellness. I believe that mental health care is most effective when it is personalized and tailored to each individual’s unique experiences, challenges, and goals. I work with individuals, couples, and families aged 16 to 65, providing care that is inclusive, affirming, and tailored to each client’s specific needs.

I am a counselor and art therapist with 20 years of counseling experience and a Masters education. I am trained in EMDR, IFS, and Art Therapy and Mindfulness Exercises and Guided Imagery Meditations like the safe place to ensure your presence in our sessions.

I have been a licensed clinical social worker since 2019. I went to graduate school at Colorado State University and studied Social Work. I have years of experience in higher level care settings as a clinical leader, as well as a background in adolescent residential treatment and corrections. I am trained in EMDR and CPT, as well as CBT, DBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing. I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, adolescents and young adults, and people going through major life transitions.

Hi, I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I enjoy helping clients reach their full potential.

Emotional distress stems from learning unhealthy habits and patterns. This has motivated me to focus on healthy integration of our emotional experience, which can lead to healing from depression, anxiety and trauma. To best help you with healing from these patterns, I use research backed methodologies including ACT, CBT, and EMDR.
