Getting to know Michele Danao

Welcome! My name is Michele. I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist actively working in the field since 2019. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from San Jose State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Palo Alto University. My approach My therapeutic style involves creating space to talk honestly about life, relationships, and all the things that come up as we navigate through it. I provide a safe place to build a community where you feel supported, validated, and seen. Common approaches we might tap into include supportive, interpersonal, trauma-focused, attachment, and narrative. My focus I work with a wide range of clients and diagnoses, addressing topics such as coping with life changes, anxiety/stress, depression, mood, relationships, trauma, anger, and harm (to name a few). My communication style My communication style is warm, inviting, and supportive. Let's take up space together and chat about topics we think about but don't always share out loud. My journey to mental healthcare My psychotherapy experience comes from supporting clients from different walks of life-homelessness, at-risk youth, community agencies, private practice settings, and adults in various careers. My goals for you I utilize an integrative approach, drawing from various modalities to meet the unique needs of each person. You are the expert, and by collaborating together, we will figure out what you need to thrive. My first session with you The first session can feel overwhelming (and sometimes scary). My goal is to make this easy and conversational. I want you to leave feeling empowered and excited to continue your therapeutic journey with me.
