I value establishing a non-judgmental and relaxed therapeutic relationship with clients.

Dana has been an incredible asset to my mental health. She listens, understands, and asks the questions on topics I need to confront. I am in the process of a gender transition and she has been very amazing in helping me navigate my emotions as well as those closest to me. She has also greatly helped me formulate strategies for how to come out to friends and family and how I can approach the subject with people who will not be understanding.
Thank you, Dana. I greatly appreciate your help with this and I look forward to continuing to work with you.

Dana is by far one of the best therapists I’ve worked with in my eight years of receiving treatment. She validates my feelings while simultaneously challenging me to reflect internally. In just a few sessions, I genuinely feel like I’m on the path towards a healthier relationship with myself, others, and the trauma I’ve experienced.

Making some very good progress with Dana Baldwin (PhD, LPC).
Written on Jun 02, 2021 after therapy with Dana for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, and coping with life changes
My counselor Dana Baldwin has offered me unwavering support, understanding, honesty, direction, knowledge, compassion, guidance and hope over what had been a very trying time in my life. She always responded back to me promptly and really took the time to understand me as a person. I felt comfortable enough with Dana to be very vulnerable and it ultimately allowed me to heal and grow. I don't think I would be in the same positive mindset that I currently am if I had not had her support. I couldn't recommend Dana enough as a counselor, especially to women who are struggling, as she a beautiful kind soul who has such a wealth of knowledge to share.

Written on Feb 25, 2021 after therapy with Dana for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping disorders, and coping with life changes
Dana has helped me through a wide range of topics/issues, from family problems to dependent relationships and self-comparison. Although I’ve only spent 6 weeks with her and BetterHelp, she has helped me better understand how I feel and to remind myself of her words and advice everyday. I am able to apply the exercises that she has introduced to me in my daily life. Overall, Dana is a friendly and approachable person that helps me clarify my thoughts and behaviors and I would highly recommend her!

I signed up to BetterHelp with a very specific goal, to learn ways of coping with certain emotions/situations and Dana helped me do this very promptly and efficiently, with verbal coaching and worksheets. She was friendly and professional and made me feel comfortable right away. I definitely got out of this what I’d hoped for.

Dana has been very helpful in recognizing what I need from counseling (structure, a space to talk) and giving me the resources I need to deal with my anxiety. I very much appreciate her professionalism and willingness to work with my schedule. Her words of praise always brighten my day.
