Dana Livneh
(she/her)
I specialize in relationship issues, supporting individuals, couples and families. Attachment injuries and loss can affect how we feel about ourselves and limit our engagement with others. I can help you identify and let go of emotional reactivity and defensiveness. I offer Somatic therapy, EMDR, and IFS to support people struggling with post-traumatic stress. Processing trauma in this way helps release emotional charge stored in the body and overcome past experiences that hold us back from living life fully. If you feel that you are stuck in a loop, this work can help you let go and move on. Being Daoist, I value living authentically, inner peace, and aligning with nature.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session I would like to hear of things you value and what you would like to be different in your life.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach is trauma informed and systems oriented as our reality, habits and relational style are influenced by the environment and culture we grow up and live in.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I feel that my work is most effective with people who are curious about their life purpose. I believe that mind, body and soul are interconnected and therefore aim to promote physical health, personal growth, and self realization. In order to calm the nervous system down and train it to maintain a state of wellbeing, I often incorporate somatic therapy techniques including meditation, breathwork, grounding and moving meditations.

My treatment methods
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I use IFS to help people understand how trauma was managed in their system. What parts are in charge and which parts are restricted due to fears and defenses.

I sought out Dana for EMDR; however, during our first session we worked on breathing, grounding, visualizing, noticing and releasing. It was calming. I feel like I will learn a lot about myself during my sessions with her.

My first session was very positive. Dana seemed to see what I needed right away and had a plethora of tools at the ready. Very happy!
