Danielle Adams O'Malley, LCSW, PLLC

The effects of trauma, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, suicidal thoughts and dysfunctional relationships can be debilitating. And traditional talk therapy does not  always do the healing. I am hear to offer cutting edge trauma treatments that can free you from  emotional and interpersonal suffering. Healing from trauma IS possible. Our work can help gain clarity, unburden negative thoughts and reduce psychic and somatic symptoms, which in turn, helps clients get unstuck, improve self-esteem and process phase of life transitions smoothly.  I utilize EMDR in most trauma cases; however the length of treatment will vary depending on single-event or complex trauma and client's readiness for EMDR.

Anxiety and depression are hitting our youth like never before. Both school and 'in real life' feel less safe, emotionally and physically, leaving this vulnerable age group to rely on social media as a coping skill, leading to further isolation. This creative and malleable population is in need of healthy coping skills. I work with ages 5 and up to help them process trauma and reduce anxiety, depression, self harm and suicidal thoughts. Let's face it, our kids are growing up in a world that is technologically curated, leading some to believe they are 'less than' during their most crucial developmental stages.  We will work to build self-esteem and help them discover and love their true selves.  A variety of therapy modalities are offered including play, sand tray, EMDR and art therapy.

I often hear from adult clients, "That was when I was a kid, it doesn't matter now" or "I already worked through that, I've been in therapy forever".  If trauma of any kind is not adaptively processed, we may be stuck in negative patterns that impede our emotional growth.  

Our past, present and future are inextricably intertwined. As a result, unprocessed wounds from our childhood or major phase of life changes may be in the lead when making decisions about our present and our future. Let's work together to develop healthier relationships with others and yourself.  My work is mainly individual but will work with couples on a case-by-case basis.
