Getting to know Jeffrey Danese

I completed my M.S. counseling psychology w a specialty in adult education at EWU in 1995 and went on to work in college counseling centers, inpatient psych units, outpatient clinics, and private practice -- but I also lived abroad; was an ordained monk in Thailand; and spent many more years studying and teaching the cognitive sciences of religion. With and despite these experiences, I try to make everyone and anyone feel utterly at ease, welcome, and confident in my counseling practice. My approach While my practical approach to counseling is short-term and solution-focused with special attention to the working alliance, emotional dynamics, articulating values and constructing meaning, I am also trained in gestalt techniques, clinical hypno-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, art therapy, ACT and more. More broadly, my orientation is Transpersonal and Existential. My focus Clients will understand the importance of 1) a physical health routine, 2) digital and sleep hygiene, 3) sustained effort between sessions, and 4) mindfulness practice. Then I can help my clients articulate an authentic worldview, a personal theology within which they can find or construct meaning, discover inner resources, creativity, and imagination that develops their deepest humanity, fullest potential for self-confidence, motivation, perseverance, healing, and even wisdom. My communication style Besides my academic and professional training -- I also have lived abroad (in Germany, East Asia, and Africa); was an ordained monk in Thailand; and spent many more years studying and teaching the cognitive sciences of religion in higher ed. With and despite these experiences, I try to make everyone and anyone feel utterly at ease, welcome, and confident in my counseling practice. My journey to mental healthcare I originally thought I would become a Benedictine monk, but I had other ambitions too.
