Dr. Dani Renée

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


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.

LaQuanda Wiggins

LaQuanda Wiggins

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


"Healing isn't about forgetting what happened to you. It's about no longer being ruled by it." My name is LaQuanda Wiggins, and that belief sits at the center of my work, especially with clients carrying the weight of trauma and PTSD. Over several years in nonprofits, correctional and detention settings, and private practice, I've worked alongside people who've survived some of life's hardest moments, and I've seen firsthand how much relief comes from finally being understood rather than judged. Alongside trauma and PTSD, I support clients through depression, anxiety, grief, panic disorders, family and relationship strain, chronic health conditions, and the stress of navigating cultural and ethnic identity. Whatever brought you here, I bring a warm, open-minded, and creative approach to help you move forward.
