“Dan is a great therapist. He listens and provides insight while also letting me come to my own conclusions rather than simply telling me what to do. I look forward to our sessions each week and highly recommend him to my friends and family.”

“Dan is fantastic, very calm and empathetic, active listener, and attentive. He keeps track of our conversations over time and within the appointment, helps keep things grounded, directed, and productive. I have experienced many therapists, he is the best therapist I’ve had in over a decade. ”

Getting to know Dr. Daniel Gaylinn
You've arrived at a crossroads. This is a place where you can learn to live your life to its full potential. My experience as a psychologist, with a PhD in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s in Transpersonal Psychology from Sofia University, as well as a Bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College, has led me to specialize in certain areas, drawing on the most effective combination of current clinical research techniques and practices depending on each client’s needs. Although I have a diverse practice, I specialize in working with roughly 25-to-55-year-old individuals and couples, helping them find ways to foster safety, strength, and inner peace when facing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and relationship challenges. Whether you are looking for relief from painful confusion, sadness, or worry, or are just seeking more meaningful life experiences and relationships, I welcome you on this journey toward personal growth and fulfillment.
Although seemingly simple, reaching out for help can be difficult. But finding the courage to do so might be the first step toward the more fulfilling life you seek. Through our work together, we will examine and dismantle old patterns that hold you back from being open, wise, relaxed, and spontaneous in your work, play, and love. Depending on your needs, I can meet with you individually, with you and your partner, or with your child. I provide in-person therapy on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, as well as telehealth options using an encrypted online video service.
Once an appointment is scheduled, you are expected to pay unless you provide more than 48 hours’ advanced notice of cancellations (extenuating circumstances notwithstanding).

He was divisive and deceptive. He also stated incorrect quotes and when corrected he lashed out. Very unprofessional.

Dr. Gaylinn has helped me overcome many stressful issues in my life. Without him I would be very different place.

Excellent

I was unsure prior to apt of what to expect regarding my set appointment but was quite pleased to find that he’s very knowledgeable and is capable of educating you on behavioral management regarding patterns and behaviors I have. He is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a therapist and i rarely find what I’m looking for in other therapists I’ve seen. They just don’t have the drive and knowledge some folks but this one has it.

Daniel is fantastic, great sessions and very attentive. Provider had recall from details of previous sessions and how they applied. Daniel speaks from a place of empathy and is very calm and reassuring. They ask tangible questions and gives great feedback and ideas to consider. I plan to continue to see Daniel as my provider. Thank you for great sessions!

Spouted his gender essentialist opinions during one of our first meetings, saying "men are more wired for analytical thinking, and women are wired for emotional intelligence" when I discussed some frustrations with my job. Clearly not up to date with current clinical psychology research, and seems personally invested in maintaining the historical myth of female mental inadequacy.

Dr. Gaylinn has an excellent conversational tone that makes discussing complex issues efficient and revealing. I find our discussions to be fruitful and and have gained new insights into my own self.

He looked a bit bored half the time when he was listening, and the therapy session wasn't remotely helpful at all. He also indicated that he is not in the network of my insurance (when my insurance is listed in his profile and I verified this info before booking an appointment), so I had to pay out of pocket the full session when I should be paying the standard copay amount. It didn't seem like he really tried to resolve the billing/claim issue.

Dan has a bedside manner that is kind and helps me to embrace trusting the process - I am grateful for his wit, warmth and wonderful presence in holding the space!

I’m just starting therapy and Dr. Gaylinn really made me comfortable. He listens and gives me the space and tools needed to help me process everything and all the noise that is going on around me.

Dr. Gaylinn has been instrumental in helping my husband and I communicate more clearly and get through rough times together. Because of the skills I learned in his office, I truly feel more confident in my ability to handle and work through times of emotional stress. I feel blessed to have him in our lives.
October 22, 2016Andrea M.Verified patient
I look forward to seeing Dan every week. He's an excellent listener, provides insightful annecdotes and tools to better yourself, and digs deeper when necessary. Highly recommended.
More than 1 year agoCurt H.Verified patient
Dan is great. I always feel comfortable sharing my thoughts (challenging to find in a therapist). Understandable, non judgemental, but also is always pushing me to grow. Highly recommended
October 7, 2016Michael C.Verified patient
It was good, sometimes the talk in hyptotheticals/high level motives is difficult to connect to the current day to day. Appears receptive and genuine to my experience. Still too early for a proper rating.
More than 1 year agoMC
I’m very appreciative of the time I spend with Dan. He’s thoughtful and challenges me to think. He’s able to sympathize with issues that I have difficulties dealing with, even if they feel foreign to him. Dan has been of great help in teaching me to speak up and to advocate for my needs and wants.

Dan is a great therapist. And I've had experience with several others before him. He's got a great bedside manner. He provides a supportive environment - a safe place - to share anything, and does a fantastic job of working through issues. Highly recommend!
More than 1 year agoNM
Dan is very inciteful. He helps me narrow in on that one thing that is at the core of my dilemma. He is compassionate and understanding and never judges you. He always listens with a capacity to hear what you are saying with your words and your body, as in language, helping me relax and calm my self down and really get to the center of my feelings.
