Hello! My name is Danielle, and I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 10 years. Too often, we can become overwhelmed by the pressures of life, and that is where therapy can help. It may be time to prioritize your own mental health, and coming here is an important first step. I’m proud of you for taking it.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, relationship challenges, PTSD, stress, grief and loss, ADHD, anger, substance use, and major life transitions. My focus in treatment is helping you feel supported while we better understand what you are carrying and what you hope will change. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself, your relationship, or your family, I look forward to meeting you and helping you move toward healing and growth.

I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.

I'm a social worker with over a decade of fieldwork with various populations in numerous settings. My breadth of experience affords me special insight into and a deep passion for infertility, perinatal and postpartum struggles, chronic illness, and military life. Working together is mutually beneficial: I get to put years of schooling and experience into practice, and you get to work towards improved overall wellness.

If you're an adolescent or young adult feeling untethered, like the people around you have shifted, like your effort isn't matching your results, or like you're falling short no matter how hard you try, I want you to know that's exactly what I help with. I'm Heather Case, Ed.D., a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC/LSC) with over 25 years of experience at the intersection of mental health and education. I work with adolescents and young adults navigating identity development, life transitions, anxiety, ADHD, and the emotional impact of learning differently in a system built for one kind of learner, including students navigating IEP or 504 plans. My own experience as a first-generation student with an undiagnosed learning difference shapes how I approach this work: I don't see struggle within a rigid system as a limit on ability. I hold an Ed.D. from USC, and I've worked as a clinical counselor, school counselor, graduate faculty instructor, and student affairs administrator.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor (LCAC) with more than 30 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate life challenges. I earned both my bachelor's degree in psychology and master's degree in counseling from Indiana State University.

Throughout my career, I have provided individual, family, and group therapy in a variety of behavioral health settings and have spent over 26 years with Centerstone

in both clinical and leadership roles. My experience spans outpatient therapy with a variety of focus areas, crisis intervention, suicide prevention, substance use treatment, family therapy, and community-based behavioral healthcare.

My treatment approach incorporates person-centered, evidence-based practices including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Trauma-Informed Care. I have extensive experience supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, Grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, substance use disorders, grief, suicidal thoughts, and emotional distress.

Personally, I believe healing happens through meaningful relationships. I am passionate about helping people discover their strengths, build resilience, and

develop practical skills that lead to lasting change. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and

empowered to achieve their goals.

I speak Haitian Creole!
