Dana Helman LMFT
When our difficulties are intruding and impairing our life it is time to seek help. I want to congratulate you on taking the first step towards making a meaningful and important change in your life. Asking for help and wanting to make a change in your life is not easy and takes a lot of courage. Often we do not have the right coping skills to manage our emotions and relationships, causing life to get complicated. Whether it's a new or recurrent problem, if you feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or experiencing relationship problems, I am here for you.
"challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful"

SERVICES
I believe in providing timely and effective treatment that is accurately tailored to the individual's needs using evidence-based strategies. I believe that the success of therapy has a lot to do with the connection between the client and the therapist. I provide a safe, relaxed, and comfortable environment that enables my clients to develop trust in order for them to be themselves and to open up.
In therapy, we will explore the things that are holding you back, causing pain, and impacting your relationships and the people you care about and love the most.
