Greetings! I am Dr. Danielle Dance. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Nova Southeastern University and have 17 years of experience providing therapeutic services. I intended to engage in assessment and research when I started graduate school. Over time, therapy became one of my favorite areas of psychology. My primary focus has been on helping individuals recover from narcissistic or suspected narcissistic relationships, learning emotion regulation in the face of triggers or visceral activation, and helping those individuals find their voice/sense of self-worth. I also work with individuals with a history of other forms of trauma. As a fellow neuro-spicy individual, I work well with fellow ADHDers and other similar categories. My experiences in life have been diverse and as such my views are often open and accepting.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will gather some information that helps me to better understand a bit about your history, then dive into the bigger picture of your individual experience. I usually end the first session with a small homework assignment and a forward moving direction to get us ready for the sessions ahead.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a clinician, I come armed with life experiences, empirically validated interventions, extensive education and ongoing trainings. My willingness to understand individual experiences often creates a space that feels safe, and inviting. I know what it is like to feel judged and my hope is that I provide a space that feels collaborative, comfortable and safe. It may take some time for us to get to know one another. I am confident my experience, empathy and ability to recognize patterns will help to create this environment, with your help.
