Danyetta Godwin
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe in the power of emotional support to build resilience and personal strength during challenging times. It's not always easy to admit we may need help, but doing so is a kind of empowerment all its own. I have 23 years' experience in education (10 as a school counselor) and 4 in clinical practice.
My main focus is working with individuals struggling with anxiety and depression, and those who have experienced trauma.

First session
The first session will provide an opportunity for you to share your current challenges as well as your hopes for the future. My aim is to foster a warm, supportive, and accepting environment where you can feel both safe and comfortable, even when being vulnerable. Moving forward, our work together will be guided by collaboration, with a focus on helping you achieve your goals.
Strengths
Effective communication forms the foundation of any relationship, and trust is essential to the therapeutic process. Equally important are respect and openness, with the primary focus always remaining on the client. The goal is to ensure you feel heard, to challenge you when needed, and to provide the support necessary for growth and healing.
Ideal clients
Majority of my experience has been with children and adolescents but I am also well versed in adult issues. I have extensive experience with ADHD, depression, anxiety, non-suicidal self-harm, school related issues, family conflict, and more recently trauma. My approach focuses primarily on building effective coping skills and resilience so that life's challenges are more manageable. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual's needs.
Treatment methods
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach used to help individuals process and heal from distressing memories and trauma. It involves recalling troubling experiences while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds. This process helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories in a less distressing way, reducing emotional intensity and allowing clients to develop more adaptive beliefs and coping strategies.
