Specialties & Clinical Services
At Dana Waknin Counseling, I integrate a person-centered approach with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness to help you build lasting relief and self-compassion.
Childhood Trauma & PTSD
Approach early attachment wounds, family patterns, and painful memories at a safe, regulated pace once you have built strong coping tools for the present.
Life Transitions & Young Adulthood
Gain clarity and self-trust through career shifts, relationship changes, family planning, or questions about who you want to be in your 20s, 30s, and 40s.
Depression & Emotional Burnout
Reconnect with motivation, self-compassion, and meaning when low mood, exhaustion, or emotional numbness make everyday tasks feel heavy.
ADHD & Executive Functioning
Build sustainable routines for focus, time management, and emotional regulation while letting go of the shame or frustration that often surrounds ADHD.
Adolescent & Teen Counseling
A supportive, relatable space for teens navigating school pressure, social anxiety, self-esteem, family changes, and emotional regulation.
Who I Work With
Supporting Adults Navigating Anxiety, Overthinking, and Past Trauma
Much of my practice focuses on men and women between the ages of 18 and 45 who look like they have everything together on the outside, but internally feel worn down by anxiety, self-doubt, or unresolved childhood trauma.
You find yourself stuck in loops of chronic worry, overthinking, or perfectionism that make it hard to rest or feel present.
Experiences from your childhood or past relationships still shape how safe you feel, how you trust others, or how you talk to yourself.
You are walking through a major life, career, or relationship transition and feel ungrounded or unsure of your next step.
You want a therapist who is warm, conversational, and honest, someone who will offer real tools and thoughtful questions rather than just nodding along.
