Getting to know Daniel Phillips

Hi there, I'm Daniel! Dan Phillips, LCSW. I have extensive experience with childhood trauma and abuse and have worked with many people with substance abuse, anger management, relationship difficulties, intimate partner violence, and other traumas. My approach Mostly I listen. My approach is relational, and client-centered; I use the treatment modality that seems to be most appropriate and effective given the presenting issues, be it cognitive-behavioral or acceptance/commitment. The streams converge in therapeutic practice, and I look to integrate my approach with the desires of the client. My focus Whereas I've worked with clients with major trauma and who are often in crisis, clients with insight and a willingness to explore their feelings in the container of a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship are most successful in their work. Difficulties with interpersonal relationships are endemic to being human; exploring these issues and their connection to childhood/life experiences and trauma can promote understanding and alleviate stress. My communication style The key to successful therapy is the relationship or "fit" between the therapist and the client. Trust is the backbone of any successful therapy, and I try to build that by being accessible, empathetic, and non-judgmental. The act of engaging in therapy can be scary and vulnerable--it is my hope that through a warm and caring relationship issues can be explored and understood in a way that alleviates problems that prevent a fuller enjoyment of life. My journey to mental healthcare The journey to becoming a therapist is ongoing and is informed and enriched by every client with whom I work. I hope to be a valuable sounding board and mirror to help clients see their lives from a different perspective that opens new opportunities and hope. I have been greatly helped by therapists and mentors in my own journey, and I see the experience of therapy as lending this support in navigating the twists and turns of life.
