Getting to know Dana Cila

Hey there! I’m really proud of you for being here. Choosing yourself isn’t always easy, especially when you’re used to pushing through, holding it together, and being the strong one—but it’s so worth it. I’m Dana, a Licensed Clinical Therapist, full-time travel medical social worker, and the founder of Healing Convos. Outside of therapy, I’m navigating real life just like you, balancing work, family, responsibilities, and all the roles we’re expected to play. Being on the move as a travel medical social worker has shown me just how common burnout, emotional exhaustion, and feeling “stuck” really are, especially for people who are constantly pouring into others. As a millennial therapist, I understand how exhausting it can feel trying to keep up with hustle culture, societal expectations, and the pressure to always be “on.” Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of who they are outside of their responsibilities. Whether it’s navigating toxic work environments, relationship or friendship breakups, family dynamics, or simply feeling lost in adulthood, you’re not alone. I offer part-time therapy for individuals who are ready to slow down, check in with themselves, and build healthier ways to cope, heal, and move forward—without judgment and at your own pace. Therapy with me isn’t about perfection; it’s self-awareness and learning how to show up for yourself in a way that feels sustainable. I created Healing Convos to give Millennials and Gen Zer's, especially men and women of color, a safe space to explore these challenges, find their voice, and reconnect with their values. If you’re ready to stop chasing and start living a life that feels intentional, peaceful, and aligned with who you truly are, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Healing Convos is a private therapy practice that works with Millennials who want to become their best selves. That can look different for everyone, but it can happen when you have the support that you need to stop anxious thoughts, move through your depression, set healthy boundaries and/or work through your traumatic experiences. My clients often find themselves feeling more confident, more content, better able to manage stress and the unknown, with improved decision-making skills, a clearer sense of self, and more joy in their life. I want to help you become the best version of yourself! I understand life can be hard at times, so let me help you clarify your goals, find what is holding you back, and get you moving forward.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Dana is such an amazing therapist her active listening skills are amazing. She provides practical solutions to help me navigate life better. We need more Dana’s in this world. Thank you for everything.
She’s sweet, always there & so understanding
Dana listens to understand and gives great feed back. She provides solutions and also give you a different point of view. What I love most is almost everything is referred back to God. He’s always the center of the conversation. So not only do she listen to me on a personal note but we connect spiritually. She remembers everything we talked about from the previous session so I never have to repeat a situation or scenario. After most sessions she send things to look over and think about. She will tell you “you can always text me!” I just love her. Very well rounded.
