Meet Dana Jay, LCPC
Therapist, EMDR Practitioner, and Partner in Your Healing Journey
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over six years of experience helping clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and life transitions.
I believe therapy should be a space where you can exhale—where you don’t have to hold everything together, have all the answers, or carry it all alone. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping you feel safe, understood, and supported as you move through what has been overwhelming or painful.
My goal is to help you move beyond survival mode and into a deeper sense of connection with yourself—so you can feel more confident in your relationships, more at ease in your daily life, and more anchored in who you are.
My Integrative Approach to Healing and Growth
Because trauma is stored in both the mind and body, healing often requires more than insight alone.
That is why my approach integrates evidence-based practices. EMDR and somatic techniques support both emotional processing and nervous system regulation.
Together, we'll work toward helping you feel more grounded, present, and connected—not just during therapy sessions, but in your everyday life.
Healing Through Understanding
Lasting change happens when we begin to understand ourselves with compassion instead of criticism.
Many of the patterns that leave us feeling stuck once served an important purpose. Through a trauma-informed, attachment-focused approach, we'll explore the deeper experiences shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
As understanding grows, so does the ability to respond to yourself with greater kindness, confidence, and flexibility.
Healing Through the Mind–Body Connection
Our minds and bodies are deeply connected.
When difficult experiences overwhelm our ability to cope, the effects often remain stored not only in our thoughts, but also in our bodies.
This can show up as anxiety, self-doubt, relationship struggles, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, or a constant feeling of being "on edge."
By working with both the mind and body, healing becomes more than simply understanding what happened—it becomes an opportunity to create lasting change, helping you feel safer, more grounded, and more connected to yourself.
Healing Through Safety
Healing happens when we create enough safety within our nervous systems to process difficult experiences, reconnect with our strengths, and build a more compassionate relationship with ourselves.
As your nervous system begins to feel safer and more regulated, it becomes easier to access the resilience, wisdom, and confidence that may have been buried beneath survival responses.
My role is not to tell you who to become. My role is to help you uncover the resilience, wisdom, and confidence that already exist within you.
