Daniel Constantz, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Daniel!

Have you been feeling like the negatives outweigh the positives in your life? Struggling in your relationships with loved ones? I'm here to help. My goal is to help people finding more joy and meaning in their lives, and reconnect with the people around them.

My focus

I work with teens and their parents as they navigate this unique period of development together. Under the best of circumstances, parenting a teen is hard, and parenting a teen when you or you teen are struggling can feel impossible. My goal is to help make it feel more possible.

My approach

I use dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support you in working toward your goals and building the type of life you want. I will teach you practical skills to support you in managing intense emotions and navigating relationships more effectively.

My communication style

I prioritize open, non-judgmental communication. Therapy can be vulnerable, and I strive to create a space where you can comfortably share whatever is going on for you, and you can expect to be met with warmth and compassion.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have wanted to be a therapist since I was a kid. Therapy has very much been a calling. Walking alongside another person in their healing or personal transformation is an incredible privilege.

My goals for you

At the outset of treatment we will set clear goals to work towards. Whether you want to manage symptoms of depression, repair relationships, or heal from trauma, we will develop a plan to meaningfully move towards your goals.

Our first session

In our first session you can expect me to ask you a ton of questions. And I mean A TON. This because I want to ensure I am doing a thorough assessment. In therapy, most problems in treatment boil down to problems in assessment. This means that I will be a bit more directive in the first session as I ensure I fully understand your history.
