Description
Life has many turns and twists. Some we may be able to see coming. Some we don't. We all experience pain, grief, disappointment and heartbreak in life. However, how do we adjust to these challenges while life is still moving? Let's work together to create coping techniques and goals that lead to healthier and productive lifestyles.
My name is Danielle Oates and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor- Associate, advocate and business owner. I am glad that you are here to seek therapy and support. I have worked in a clinical counseling setting as part of a crisis intervention team for many years. I am currently working for a community mental health agency as an outpatient therapist. I obtained certification and training on parent advocacy for children with special needs from The Federation of Children with Special Needs in Boston, MA. I specialize in finding coping skills and techniques for anger management, behavior and mood disorders, depression, relational conflict and trauma.
I practice evidence based modalities such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Play Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Conflict Resolution Therapy. I have an associate and bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in mental health counseling with an emphasis in trauma and addiction. I believe it is my responsibility to stretch and reach those who are lead to me personally and professionally without judgment.
My objective is to build trust, integrity and a therapeutic connection to begin working towards empowering individuals to changing distorted thoughts, behaviors or challenges in a person’s life.
