Getting to know Dana Blue

The provider is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Healing Hearts Counseling. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and firmly believe that our actions, words, and thoughts both influence and are influenced by those around us. This belief in interconnectedness drives my commitment to the therapeutic relationship, as I believe it has the power to inspire healing and change when desired. As your therapist, I will guide you down the path of your choosing, while we explore new perspectives, unlock doors, and open our minds to new ideas together. I love working with all populations but have a special passion for working with teenagers. They are open to new ideas, learning, and growth, making it a privilege to help guide them through such an important stage of life. I run a weekly DBT skills group for teens, providing them with a safe space to build social skills, self-esteem, and manage their emotions. Additionally, I find couples therapy incredibly rewarding, as I witness the most miracles occur when two people work together toward change. In my personal life, I am a divorced mother of two boys who has remarried and now co-parents. Having navigated the fears and anxieties of divorce, I remain a firm believer that we are our best selves when in a deep and loving connection. In my free time, I enjoy dancing and am a member of a talented dance team. During my career, I have advocated for foster youth and worked as a therapist in a halfway house in Newark, NJ, where I helped families heal and reunify after incarceration. I am also EMDR-trained and passionate about supporting clients on their healing journeys. As part of the Healing Hearts Counseling Center, I aim to help individuals, couples, or families navigate any challenges that may arise.
