Dana Matthews

My communication style

During my counseling sessions, I maintain a respectful and patient tone. I understand that communication may be challenging for some individuals, and I strive to create a safe environment to facilitate this process. While I am honest and transparent in my interactions, I ensure that my approach always remains careful and respectful.

My journey to mental healthcare

My decision to pursue a career as a counselor was driven by my desire to assist individuals in navigating challenging circumstances in their lives. My counseling career started as a school counselor. During my tenure in the school environment, I recognized my desire to offer more comprehensive treatment than what was feasible within that setting.

My goals for you

I assist clients in setting and achieving treatment goals collaboratively. Clients suggest their goals, which I combine with my recommendations. We discuss each goal, associated objectives, and the interventions I will implement to help them succeed.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll listen to your needs and expectations for counseling. I'll ask questions to determine if we're the right fit.

I identify as...
