Danae is one of the best therapists I have met. They understand and address hidden concerns and seems to know exactly what to say at all times. They might be a psychic, but honestly, it’s what I need in life. I appreciate all of the validation Danae gives me and they make me feel understood like no one else. 100/10

I’ve found the experience of finding the right therapist for me to be extremely difficult. But when I met Danae, I felt comfortable quickly. That is not a small accomplishment in my book since I have had walls up to therapy for a long time. They make me feel like I’m not being pushed to fit a worksheet, that my progress is going to be at my pace. Plus, it often feels more like I’m talking to a friend than a therapist, which I wasnt expecting. They’ve truly made the ideal setup for me.

They showcase their expertise and their empathy in a great manner in therapy, which leads to productive sessions in which you will not only feel validated and understood with the support that they give, but you will gain the power to understand and help yourself with their guidance. Would totally recommend to anyone. 10 out of 10.

Danae is very engaged and a wonderful individual to work with. If you shut down she will never judge you, instead help you through the moment. She is truly the definition of a safe space

Danae is unconventional yet extremely effective. She is not afraid to break out of the "statement, response, statement, response..." pattern that most therapists that I have encountered use. She takes her time and really gets to know you as a person, making different issues come up naturally as you're ready to talk about them.
