Getting to know Dana Timmins

Dana Timmins is a pre-licensed provider working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Dana believes healing begins in a space where people feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. She brings a calm, grounded, and collaborative presence to therapy, creating an environment where clients can safely explore life's challenges, build on their strengths, and develop the confidence and skills to create meaningful, lasting change. She approaches each client with curiosity rather than assumptions, recognizing that meaningful healing begins with understanding each person's unique story. Her therapeutic approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and strengths-based interventions. Dana tailors therapy to each client's unique goals, believing it should provide both insight and practical tools to help clients navigate life's challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and self-confidence. Before becoming a therapist, Dana spent more than 15 years in executive leadership and career coaching, helping individuals navigate change, stress, and career transitions. Her professional experience, combined with her own journey through divorce, single parenting, and career reinvention, allows her to bring both empathy and practical perspective to clients facing life's most significant transitions. Dana enjoys working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families and has a particular passion for supporting women navigating divorce, relationship changes, career transitions, parenting challenges, and other major life transitions. She is committed to creating an inclusive, culturally responsive space where every client feels respected, valued, and empowered to move forward.
