Creative Healing

I'm Danielle Durante, and I'm here to help your teen develop a solid plan to move from being stuck and struggling to a place of safety and success.

My Approach

I believe in finding the balance between accepting your teen for who they are while helping them change the behaviors that make their lives more difficult. With over 20 years of experience in an adolescent residential treatment facility, I specialize in working with high-risk teens facing emotional dysregulation, self-harming behaviors, and identity issues.

Credentials and Expertise

• I hold a pedigree in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that qualifies me to treat teens who experience significant emotional dysregulation, self-esteem and identity issues and/or self-harming behaviors and suicidal ideation,

• I have a Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Psychology from West Chester University with an additional concentration in Body Image and Eating Disorders.

• I have specialized post graduate training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat sexual, physical and/or emotional abuse/trauma,

• I have training in Drug and Alcohol/Co-Occurring Disorders to treat teens who may be self-medicating using drugs or alcohol or who are at risk for developing a substance abuse/dependence problem,

Unique Approach

I love working with teens to create structure using mindfulness skills, guided imagery, relaxation techniques, poetry, music lyrics, and journaling. My goal is to promote growth and confidence, equipping your teen with the skills and tools they need to achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being. Together, we'll ensure they are fully prepared for college and beyond.

Beyond the Therapy Room

Outside of my work with clients, I enjoy spending time with my two daughters, exploring bookstores, museums, parks, and libraries. I have a passion for live music and kayaking. Animals hold a special place in my heart, and I welcome pets of all kinds into my therapy sessions with teens.
