Getting to know Daniel Weil

Hi there, I'm Daniel! I have over two decades of experience working in mental health, the last 10 as a therapist. I blends drama therapy embodiment techniques and mindfulness with talk therapy. I believe that therapy and healing work best when paired with creativity and connection. My focus Client's who have some idea of what they want to work on, a desire to do it, and an openness to try out different strategies to see what fits. I have found in my own work on myself that talking is valuable but only goes so far. We run into defenses we've built up over the years. Games, role play, embodiment etc can get around them. My approach I believe that therapy and healing work best when paired with creativity and connection. My professional style is to combine presence and listening with directive, experiential and creative interventions that stem from my experience in theater and in the arts. My communication style I try to be calm and validating, funny (when appropriate) and focused. I studied drama therapy, which is where many of my techniques come from. You don't need to perform or have a creative background. The goal is to be present and explore yourself and your goals from different angles and points of view. My journey to mental healthcare I've spent decades writing and being involved in theater, as well as worked in schools. As I learned more about drama therapy and saw it being used with children with Autism and other neurodivergence, I was drawn to the different ways of communicating and exploring emotions. Talking and listening is valuable but only part of the process. My goals for you Goals are built collaboratively with clients based on what they bring in and what I notice as the sessions progress. I try to balance a client's time to vent with more structure to keep us on track and moving forward. We will do talk therapy as well as embodiment and activities to explore their issue fro different angles.
