Dana Pham, LCSW — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm Dana!

Compassion, curiousity and equanimity are values I uphold as a helping professional. I strive to provide a space where you can share freely and safely about your life experiences and find growth and balance as you navigate the tougher parts of your life.

My focus

Clients who may find me helpful deal with life transitions, college, professional development, and aging. I enjoy gaming and can assist with unhealthy gaming and balance. As an Asian-American woman, I may relate to, or identify with your cultural identities, though I remain inquisitive to your unique experience. I also assist with complex trauma.

My approach

I utilize a person-centered and strength-based approach. I am an inquisitive listener and follow your story with unconditional positive regard. I ask questions that may help you process and gain insight into your experiences. I also assist you in recognizing and embracing your strengths and reallness of your experience.

My communication style

My style is reserved yet earnest. I hope to be a supportive ear for you to share your thoughts and achieve your goals. I often ask you questions to aid in finding out patterns or insight into your struggles. I will point out areas of strength you possess and help you challenge thoughts or beliefs that may be unproductive or negative.

My journey to mental healthcare

Uncertain of a specific career path after high school, I found purpose and determination to assist others after taking an introductory Sociology class. As I reflected on my own life experiences, I felt it was my duty to fill any missing resources or empathy in the world through the helping profession.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to help you identify, craft, and achieve your goals. The work will be exploratory, and we will determine which goals are most important to you as well as what goals may be next for you.

Our first session

The first session is getting to know you as an individual with a past, present, and future. I may ask specific questions to get a better understanding of your history, which includes family, relationships, work, school, childhood, and past and current symptoms or struggles. Other than that, I ask clients to share as much or as little as they feel.
