Getting to know Dr. Daniel Collins
I help people overcome their personal psychological barriers so they can live a more meaningful, authentic life. I earned my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University, and currently work at The Flatiron Center for Psychotherapy, where I look to provide compassionate, holistic care to all of my clients.
I have supported people experiencing challenges in relationships, major life transitions, grief and loss, confusion over their identities, acculturation difficulties, and hoping to heal from past traumas. My clinical experience is varied, and I’ve worked in settings ranging from psychiatric inpatient units to college counseling centers. This breadth of experience equips me to help patients with a variety of emotional concerns who may come from diverse backgrounds, life experiences and identities.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My therapeutic approach is warm, curious and open. My patients describe feeling safe and accepted when talking to me, which reflects my goal of creating a therapeutic environment that allows patients to get in touch with their emotions, and to better understand who they are and how they relate to others. I’m interested in how the past informs the present, so I believe it is helpful to explore childhood experiences, but I don’t subscribe to the idea that our pasts define us. I tend to focus on relationships: past relationships, current relationships, and even the relationships my patients form with me in the therapy room. I have found that exploring experiences of those relationships provides a deeper understanding of the thoughts, emotions, beliefs, assumptions, and fears that drive our behavior, especially those that may be hard to see on the surface.
Patients experience me as warm, understanding and nonjudgmental. I also believe in maintaining a level of humility as a clinician. So, while I will look to share my professional observations and perspective, I also encourage patients to correct me if I am wrong, or to add to or clarify my ideas, which many report feels validating and empowering.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I primarily draw from psychodynamic and relational approaches to therapy, but I also incorporate other clinical techniques—such as mindfulness practices and relaxation exercises—as needed. My style is collaborative, honest, compassionate, and trauma-informed, and I never push a patient to discuss something they don’t want to talk about or don’t feel ready to share. In my experience, when we’ve endured great suffering in the past or when we feel like we’re struggling in the present, we often lose sight of our strengths. I will be here to remind you of those strengths, and to think together about how we can use them to foster healing and growth.
