Hi there, my name is Danny Varughese and I'm a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, confidence, career difficulties, & depression, and more. Along with being a therapist, I'm also a singer-songwriter musician with 2 albums out there and frequently put on live shows. My creativity and art can often find itself integrated into my therapeutic style. I'm a passionate researcher of the brain and am fascinated with the concept of neuroplasticity - which is the idea that the brain is constantly evolving and changing over time through the repetition of patterns. This concept informs my work, as I believe that there's no pattern that can't be strengthened or weakened, and therefore you always have the power to create a shift in your life. I was certified in trauma focused Cognitive behavioral therapy, and have extensive experience working with all age groups and the wide majority of diagnoses. I have also handcrafted visualization techniques and coping skills that don't exist elsewhere, and I love sharing them with clients when they feel resonant. When our journey begins, I bring the a high standard of care, passion, and determination to the table.
