Hi, I’m Ebonie. I’ve been a therapist for 14 years, and my style is down-to-earth, compassionate, and real. My goal is to create a safe, honest space where you can finally resolve the issues that are weighing you down. I don’t just sit back and nod — I’m engaged, I ask meaningful questions, and I help you get to the heart of what’s really going on. Every client is unique, and I adapt my approach to fit your needs. Whether you’re working through anxiety, healing from trauma, facing a life transition, or simply feeling stuck, I’ll bring both practical tools and proven methods to support your growth. Above all, I show up consistently and authentically, and I never take your trust for granted. One approach I use is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing). It’s a highly researched therapy that helps people process painful memories so they no longer feel as overwhelming. With gentle tools like eye movements or tapping, your brain can reprocess old experiences in a healthier way. The memory doesn’t disappear, but the emotional weight it carries often does. EMDR has been shown to help with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and more. We always go at your pace, and I’ll walk with you step by step. Book an appointment today.

One of my goals as a therapist is to create a meaningful connection and a comfortable, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Whether you’re considering making an important change or simply need space to reflect, I believe therapy should feel like a partnership, one built on trust, respect, and genuine understanding. I am a licensed therapist and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor with over 11 years of experience helping clients navigate life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. My work is grounded in person-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches, drawing on the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing when supported with empathy and practical tools. I specialize in supporting caregivers, disabled individuals, and people adjusting to new life circumstances, but I also work with anyone seeking greater balance and fulfillment. In our sessions, you’ll find a space where your story is valued and your goals guide the process. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you whether that’s improving relationships, setting boundaries, rebuilding confidence, or redefining purpose after change. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and empowering. I strive to help each client move toward a stronger sense of self-trust and resilience, so they can live more authentically and intentionally.

With over 20 years of clinical experience, I have dedicated my career to walking alongside individuals through their healing and growth journeys, beginning as a child and adolescent therapist before expanding my practice to work with adolescents and adults. My approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and my training as a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, always adapted to honor each client's unique story and strengths. I believe deeply in advocacy; both as something I practice on behalf of my clients and as a critical skill I help them develop for themselves, because sustainable wellness requires individuals to have the tools, voice, and confidence to advocate for their own needs. Beyond the therapy room, I extend this commitment to advocacy through my consulting work, partnering with organizations to build psychologically safe, inclusive, and equity-driven environments where all people can thrive.

My journey began in the Grand Canyon state, where I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. From an early age, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in a helping profession. It wasn't until college that I uncovered my passion for counseling and psychology. As I witnessed family and friends working in fields that highlighted the challenges and emotional toll of their experiences, I felt moved to offer a compassionate and supportive ear. This realization led me to switch my major to Psychology and ultimately pursue a Master's in Counseling at Arizona State University. From there, I began my career in private practice. I am a licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with years of experience in the mental health field. This year, I took the exciting step of founding Woods Wellness Counseling independently. In this role, I help individuals create more fulfilling relationships and heal from trauma or challenging life experiences. I have rigorously trained in some of the most empirically validated treatments, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which addresses the root causes of issues and creates lasting change. I continue to consult regularly and train with world-renowned experts. Each year, I complete a variety of continuing education, training, and conferences to deepen my expertise. I am passionate about learning and committed to providing my clients with the highest quality care. I received my EMDR training from the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). When choosing an EMDR therapist, it's crucial to select someone trained by EMDRIA, the recognized leader in the field. EMDRIA offers comprehensive and intensive instruction, while other organizations may provide more limited training.

Welcome! I'm Danielle. Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. Try as we might, sometimes happiness and contentment always seem just out of reach. Depression, anxiety and stress can make getting out of bed in the morning a daunting task. Troubles in your relationship or conflict in the family can make you feel helpless or overwhelmed. Creating a daily routine using strategies that ground you and support moving forward in areas where you feel stuck. Improving your outlook on life to see past the stressful events that feel overwhelming. Talking through challenges and learning different ways to look at something in order to make progress, even when feeling depressed and anxious. As a therapist, it is my goal for clients to feel empowered and supported as we navigate through your journey to healing and wellness. I’m passionate about approaching therapy in a client centered way, and want each session to take you exactly where you need in that moment. My therapy approach is warm and accepting, focusing on establishing overall wellness. Therapy can seem daunting, we will go at a pace that is comfortable for you and discuss the topics you want. What are the tension points? Let's talk about those and develop a daily routine that grounds you and allows you to feel more in control of your life. I am here to listen and encourage you as you talk to support your healing and recovery.

Search therapists by insurance

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Arizona rather than a city like Phoenix?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Arizona from Tucson to Mesa! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Arizona.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I’m" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
