Dana Booth, LMSW

Clinical Site Coordinator/Therapist

I have given myself the opportunities in my career to work with a vast range of individuals and couples to help them grow personally and professionally to reach their own potential within their lives. I have worked with eating disorders, many types of addiction and traumas, anxiety, depression and identity. I am strength based to help you identify your strengths to increase self-esteem, self-respect and trust within yourself. I use different modalities of therapy to explore your understanding of yourself and education to grow within your strengths and knowledge to be your own therapist one day. I specialize in trauma recovery, loss and grief, extreme anxiety and depression through individual and couples counseling. I strive to educate and encourage to understand the questions you have within yourself and your environment to grow and find your true potential to reach the goals you desire to create and achieve in your life. I am realistic and have faith in my clients which allows me to be open and honest for your growth. If you are willing to do the work, I am willing to be your guide to unlock your true potential.
