Danielle Larin

My communication style

I am a bold, warm, and vivacious provider, embracing my authenticity. I am regarded as a transformative care provider because of my innovative and individualized approach to recovery. I am willing to explore and challenge traditional Western thought, which makes me a controversial provider in some systems.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began in high school in AP Psych, where I saw a video on neurobiology and schizophrenia. Though I wasn’t initially accepted to college, I worked full-time in mental health and eventually attended night school. Fifteen years later, I am driven by my care for my clients, social justice, and mental health equity for BIPOC populations.

My goals for you

I see goals as helpful and recognize they’re a Western construct that assumes progress is linear. When we set goals, it is collaborative, culturally responsive, and rooted in the client's lived experience and values. I honor that healing and growth often unfold in cycles, not checklists, and are guided by culture and connection.

Our first session

Clients can expect my curiosity, authenticity, and genuine care. I’m known for asking thoughtful questions, exploring connections, and challenging limiting perceptions. My clients often say I bring compassion, safety, and boldness to every session, helping them to stand in their own authenticity.
