Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Aventura, FL


It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

CALL ME FOR A GOOD TIME, if a good time is talking about life's may challenges!

Everyone has a story, I would love the opportunity to hear yours! Most of us need help along life’s journey for a little extra support or to simply feel happier. As a therapist I derive satisfaction from helping people sort out the things that are going through thier mind, whether it be from life stress, jobs issues, relationship challenges, the wisdom and challenges of aging, addiction or adjusting to life after incarceration.

I’m Danyelle, a Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping my clients navigate life's challenges. If you feel stressed out, depressed, are experiencing anxiety or need help with solutions to problems, let’s talk about it, let me be the bridge over troubled water!

I work with clients across the lifespan, from young adults to older adults, and I'm deeply committed to creating a therapeutic space that honors your unique identity, values, and lived experience.

My approach is down to earth, relatable, open minded and supportive. I bring particular expertise in depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, and self-esteem work.

I also specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, communication struggles, isolation, self esteem and social anxiety, I'm experienced in supporting clients through a wide range of concerns—including mood disorders, trauma, attachment issues, relationship challenges, workplace stress, financial concerns, and health-related struggles. I also have specialized knowledge in areas such as women's and men's health, pregnancy, postpartum experiences, adoption and foster care and multicultural concerns. My therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices.
