Professional statement

Danna Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Ridgefield, CT and works with adults and couples. She sees clients of all ages who are looking to live fulfilling and meaningful lives. Her clients are people seeking support and care. They may be in a life transition, need help communicating, or may feel overwhelmed in their busy life. Most clients want help alleviating their suffering.

She helps clients discover the origins of their suffering and helps them navigate the inner workings of the soul, so they may come back to their own wisdom. Danna believes therapy is a space where clients get to tell their story, work through the sticky parts, and allow movement in the spaces that may feel stuck. Sometimes Danna looks at how a person's past may be informing their present. Danna is an active listener. She is open, authentic, and honest. As a therapist she takes an interactive role.

Danna has an integrative, holistic approach to counseling. She believes in the connection of the mind, body, and spirit. There is a foundation of intuition and mindfulness that she brings with her informed by her own spiritual meditation practices, professional mindfulness training, and clinical background. She has trained in Reiki and yoga as well as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and family constellations. Danna has also worked in clinical outpatient settings with families as well as individuals impacted by addiction. Currently she is training in psychedelic therapy with the California Institute for Integral Studies to aid seekers in preparation and integration.

Danna sees most of her clients remotely but is also open to scheduling sessions in person as well.


Message to clients

The hardest part of beginning therapy is making that first call. About 90% of the healing that happens in therapy is within the relationship between the therapist and the client. What this means is that it is incredibly important that you connect with the person you choose to see. I believe therapy is a space of healing. All of you is welcome in therapy.: the good, the bad and everything in between. It is a place where you can be yourself, be vulnerable, and explore all the things that make you who you are. Self exploration gives you the power to decide how you want to be in life and helps you connect to where it is you want to go.

My hope is that in session with me you feel safe, seen, and that you can completely be your authentic self. I take an active part in therapy, step back when it feels necessary and will always be real with you.

I look forward to talking to you! If you like we can schedule some time to talk to see if we are a good fit. Be well! Danna
