I have always had a strong passion to support others along their journey of life. As we know, this often comes with struggle along with beauty. Our relationship with ourselves is the most important one we will ever have, and I emphasize the importance of self-worth, perceptions on oneself and others around them, and bringing understanding to unfortunate life events. I have confidence that every person is capable of overcoming whatever is thrown their way, and no one should ever have to feel like they have to do so alone. I use a tailored approach with each of my clients to best fit their circumstances with full hearted compassion and open mindedness.

My approach to treatment is person-centered and collaborative. My goal is to create a welcoming and safe space for you to express yourself openly. I strive to provide unconditional support and positive regard for my clients. My role is to support you in exploring tools that can help you to facilitate personal growth and promote long-term wellness.

I strive to create a non-judgmental and supportive environment where clients can confidently explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Therapy isn’t an easy step to take but being able to find the right therapist will help to make the process smoother. I believe that in therapy, you are never alone. You have the autonomy and self determination to live the way you want but together we can collaborate to strive to create the life that you deserve. Whether it be managing stress at work, relationships at home, exploring romantic relationships or personal self-growth, we can work together to achieve the goals that you want to set for yourself. Despite therapy having a stigma of being emotional, it does not have to be something that is feared or dreaded. Together, we can make therapy life-changing and personal growth possible.

[Not currently accepting new clients]. The process of healing and self-discovery teaches you to embrace yourself wholeheartedly. Before all else, we are human beings who face struggles that are sometimes too much to bare on our own. Within a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment, I am here to offer you a comfortable space and a listening ear to work through those struggles, along with developing the tools needed for you to live an emotionally balanced life. I believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all, each person is unique in their struggles and needs. I try to honor where my clients are, emotionally at any given moment. I utilize techniques from several evidence-based models to help my clients gain freedom from their emotional distress.

Danielle Greenberg, LCSW
Anxious? Same. Struggling with depression? Ditto. Teen or young adult having trouble with peers, school, friends, or parents? Been there, done that. After experiencing many things, such as anxiety, bullying, my parent’s divorce, and much more, I can safely say, “I get it”. Do I understand exactly how you’re feeling? No, and I won’t pretend to. But I know that your adolescent and young adult years will hold some of the most challenging times of your life. I know it seems like no one understands, but I want to hear where you’re coming from and show you that your feelings are valid. I believe in a collaborative approach and utilize my skills as an anxiety specialist to work with you to understand your emotions and learn how to cope with and manage them.

Danielle DiStefano, LMHC, NCC
The goals we set for ourselves are usually intended to help us feel fulfilled and successful in life. Often times this passion for change and achievement comes with immense stress, leading us to question where we are going and why we started this journey in the first place. Through allowing yourself the time and space to challenge these thoughts and stressors your currently harbor, a clearer understanding of who you are and what is most important will take shape. I value the special rapport that is created between my clients and myself and use it as the foundation to process and be vulnerable. I will hold space for you to grow while adding guidance and education to help you navigate challenging times.

Every child is different, and for that reason, I provide creative therapy sessions that are fun, interactive, and tailored to each child or teen’s individual needs. I will incorporate your child’s interests into therapy sessions, in an effort to build trust and comfortability.

[Not currently accepting new clients]. Maybe you’re suffering from depression or anxiety. Maybe you’re just overwhelmed by your job and your relationships. Either way, I am confident that I can help you. Whether you need help coming up with solutions to your problems, a chance to vent and unload every week, or a space to ‘dive deeper’ into your history, my approach can accommodate you. I uphold that you do not have to ‘find the right fit’ with a really good therapist—they will fit themselves to you. That’s what I aim to do for you.

Asking for help can seem overwhelming, intimidating, and uncomfortable, but it is a clear sign of strength. You are giving yourself a chance to be seen and heard, while also gaining a better understanding of your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I value the special connections that are established between myself and my clients through building rapport. It is my responsibility to ensure that my clients are receiving individualized care based on their current needs and concerns. I utilize expressive and thought-provoking techniques from evidence-based practices to assist my clients in navigating their emotions and stressors with the appropriate tools and coping skills.
