“It was my first time meeting him and he is very personable and friendly. He listened to my issues intently and provided a very clear strategy to use for future sessions.”

“I really enjoyed meeting with Dan. I feel he will be able to help me by using a variety of methods to deal with my stress and anxiety. He was easy to talk to and I really appreciate how he creates a plan to help you not to keep you in talk therapy forever with no results but to find solutions and help you work through whatever you are struggling with so talk therapy comes to an end when appropriate. I’m just starting with him but I feel strongly the results will be positive.”

Getting to know Daniel Banaitis
Hi, I’m Dan.
(I take ONLY AETNA, United Health and OUT-OF-POCKET PAY). Are past experiences holding you back? Trauma can create invisible barriers, but there’s hope!
If you have had trauma, cravings you can't control, specific phobias, chronic pain, relationship wounds or performance anxiety EMDR will change your life. It's not old-fashioned therapy. It's a powerful technique that helps you process traumatic memories, heal emotional wounds, and regain control of your life.
Why Choose EMDR?
- Rapid Relief: Experience quicker results than traditional therapies.
- Holistic Healing: Address emotional, cognitive, and physical aspects of trauma.
- Empowerment: Move beyond your past and embrace a brighter future.
Don’t let the past define you. Start your journey to healing today!
Also, I use EMDR for High Performance
Elevate Your Game: EMDR for High Performance
Are you a business owner, athlete, or executive looking to reach new heights? Trauma and stress can impact your performance, but EMDR can help you break through those barriers.
EMDR High Performance is designed to help you:
- Maximize Focus: Clear mental blocks to enhance your concentration.
- Boost Confidence: Overcome performance anxiety and self-doubt.
- Achieve Your Goals: Unlock your potential and reach new milestones.
Don’t let past challenges hinder your success. Transform your performance with EMDR and become the best version of yourself!
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Counseling from Pepperdine University.
I am in the office Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings only in Thousand Oaks and offer Online/Telehealth sessions all week for the entire state of California.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Regarding addictive sexual behaviors, compulsions, phobias, relationship wounds, chronic pain, performance anxiety or specific phobias…
I understand the devastating impact these behaviors can have on your life and relationships.
If you’re struggling with these issues, you’ve likely felt trapped in a cycle of shame, guilt, and low self-esteem.
To support your healing journey, we’ll assess your situation, establish safeguards, identify triggers, explore desires and fantasies, and promote healthy intimacy.
For couples…
My approach with couples follows a three-stage process rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):
Uncovering relationship cycles…
We’ll help you understand the patterns in your relationship, identify the underlying emotions and needs, and validate those needs.
Reconnecting with your emotions…
We’ll work on re-establishing a connection with your own needs and nurturing emotional engagement by embracing acceptance of one another.
If you’ve had enough of the pain in your life…
If you’re tired of being held back by your compulsions…
If you’re longing for the intimacy you deserve…
I’m here to help you confront and address the issues affecting your life.
( I am in the office Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings only in Thousand Oaks and Online/Telehealth all week for the entire state of California.)
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In therapy, you get a safe, judgment-free space to address the issues that are holding you back—whether it’s trauma, sex addiction, chronic pain, performance anxiety, phobias, complex trauma, or relationship struggles. We work directly on the experiences, memories, and patterns driving your distress.
Using EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, we target the thoughts, urges, and sensations that keep you stuck. You’ll learn to respond differently, break old patterns, and regain control over your behavior and emotions.
This work helps you process what’s painful, build resilience, and strengthen your sense of self. Step by step, you move toward healthier relationships, clearer focus, and the ability to live with confidence, purpose, and freedom.

I am so thankful for this counselor. Dan Banaitis is incredibly down to earth and very easy to talk to! He is incredibly professional, but very easy going and quickly built a safe counseling environment. After working with Mr. B for nearly a year, I would recommend him to my closest friends and family. He helped me to see the humanity in my struggles. Dan regularly provides me with valuable counseling, as well as outside readings and resources for me to explore.
