Getting to know Daniel Siegel

Hi there, I'm Daniel! Dan Siegel, licensed clinical social worker. I begin by establishing proper psychological distance—balancing understanding with recognition of the client's individual nature. I pay close attention to the client's stated wish for entering therapy. My approach My approach is humanistic, emphasizing the individual's inherent nature. There is usually a conflict in the person's life, sometimes internal, such as reduced self-awareness or self-doubt. External factors may also adversely affect the person, moving us toward establishing more control, if possible. My focus I work with clients experiencing anger, depression, anxiety, conflicts at work, and conflicts in marriage. I help clients see situations more constructively or exercise more control in their lives. Clients may need help understanding their reactions to others or situations. This approach can lead to lasting benefits. My communication style I strive to build rapport so negative emotions don’t interfere with communication. Emotional trust is important. Mistrust toward the therapist or people in general may become a central focus. My journey to mental healthcare As a young adult in college, I faced uncertainty about my employment future. Therapy helped me considerably. Being a client has shaped my views of therapy. My goals for you I like to hear from clients about the changes they want. As we meet, I ask if they believe we are reaching these goals. Goals often become redefined, especially if there is anxiety about change. We tend to engage in self-protective measures in response to stress. Education I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis and a Bachelor’s from the University of California, Riverside.
