Getting to know Svetlana Danshes

I specialize in integrative psychotherapy for a broad spectrum of individuals who experience anxiety, depression, and life-changing events that cause emotional discomfort, fear, or mourning. I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and a Bachelor's degree from Moscow State Linguistic University. My goal is to educate and empower my clients to take charge of their lives. I believe that human nature is at its best when people choose to view themselves positively; therefore, I work together with clients as they recognize their emotions and how these emotions arise in response to certain life events.
