Bring joy and confidence back into your life
Danielle Gaspar LPC, Child/ Adolescent & Trauma Psychotherapist
You remember a time when being depressed, anxious or triggered weren’t the “norm”…but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?
You’ve come to the right place.
I help children/ adolescents and those that have been through distressing life events just like you: ones that have it within them to be healthy and thrive again, but just need the support to get there.
I help my clients find confidence, empowerment and happiness by equipping them with the tools they need to better connect with themselves and others.
Many of today’s solutions for children/ adolescents and trauma survivors focus on their struggles, leading many to feel alone or like they’re not making any real progress. I know that your circumstances are unique, so every step we take is tailored to your needs and always with an end goal in mind.
First we build trust & rapport to understand the challenges that are causing your complex feelings. Then, we work on communication skills and behavior changes that will be most effective for you. Through our work together you and/or your child will become confident and comfortable in their own skin.
I am dedicated to helping people heal.
My training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) means I have the expertise you need and deserve to support and empower your child and/or heal from your traumas. But at the end of the day you want to know you are working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a child/adolescent and/or trauma survivor struggling with feeling lost and alone.
I get it because I have devoted my career to working with children/adolescents and trauma survivors. I know that sometimes it can be hard to trust others with how you feel. So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.
