Danielle Slomka

My communication style

I communicate with warmth, curiosity, and enthusiasm. I will take time initially to build rapport and believe our therapeutic relationship will set the tone for our work together. I may offer gentle challenges once trust has been established. I welcome tears, anger, and humor and believe therapy is a space that can hold it all.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was a middle and high school teacher before becoming a therapist and I love working with educators and students. I have experience in working as a school-based therapist and in higher levels of care (RTC and PHP/IOP). I believe deeply in this work and feel honored to work alongside people as they navigate the highs and lows of life.

My goals for you

I believe in the importance of a holistic approach, integrating the mind and body to help my clients find true healing. I integrate ACT, process-based therapy, EMDR, CBT, DBT, and Narrative therapy. I want my clients to be able to engage in the deep, emotional work alongside building practice skills to handle everyday life stressors.

Our first session

My hope for our first session is to get to know you and for you to get a sense of whether we are a good fit for what you are seeking. I will ask you about what brings you to therapy at this time, what experiences you have had with therapy prior (if any), what is going well for you, and any background information you feel comfortable sharing.

I identify as...

• Cis, Female
• Caucasian or White
