I’ve only worked with him for around 3 weeks now, but I already think that he’s a great therapist. I feel better when talking about my issues with him and we can also crack a joke during the middle of the session to.

Daniel always seems to find ways to make me laugh and think about moments in my life. I always value his opinion and he always values mine. I look forward to appointments which in the past with other therapist I have not.

Daniel has been a tremendous help to me since I've been seeing him. I've made a lot of progress with moving beyond my trauma and controlling the anger that resulted from it. He's a great listener, knows his stuff, and is very personable so you're comfortable and feel like you're talking to a trusted friend than a stuffy therapist.

Dr. Downey and I have a great report and I enjoy talking with him. I like that he follows up with me during the week and I can contact him if needed. I don't feel judged and he's helped me talk about uncomfortable topics.
