Paul Daanen(He/Him/His)

Dr. Paul Daanen is a clinical psychologist currently accepting new telehealth patients across 34 states. He specializes in the treatment of difficulties associated with both childhood and adult onset trauma.

Dr. Daanen has received specialized training in multiple approaches to trauma focused psychotherapy but uses EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy as his primary approach. EMDR often sees positive results in less time than other therapies. This approach has strong scientific backing for its effectiveness and has been endorsed by multiple US and international organizations (Veterans Affairs/Department of Defense (VA/DoD) Clinical Practice Guideline for Management of PTSD, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS), the World Health Organization, the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, and the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council).

Dr. Daanen has worked with a wide variety of people, to include Active Duty military, first responders, sexual assault survivors as well as many people who have suffered a legacy of emotional abuse and/or neglect that still impacts them to this day.
