Jeff Danese LMHC

I welcome everyone and anyone who sincerely seeks help; anyone ready and willing to get to work -- then clients can expect personalized professional collaboration as we work together towards your goals and a better life. Because we humans have limitations, and in order to maximize our work together, I prefer to work with clients who already have or who are willing to begin: 1) an exercise routine, 2) reasonable sleep and digital hygiene, 3) a reasonably healthy diet, and 4) a willingness to work towards therapy goals in between sessions (i.e. do homework, track behaviors, practice mindfulness, etc.). These habits have been empirically demonstrated to be as - or even more powerful of an influence than any form of therapy.

While I specialize in existential psychotherapy, personal meaning and motivation, and the integration of psycho-spiritual practice with clients' lived and felt sense of self, and with one's own worldview or personal theology, I use brief psychodynamic or solution-focused techniques along with CBT, DBT, ACT, hypno-behavioral therapy, gestalt, and some forms of art therapy to help my clients reach their goals.
