EMDR Therapists in Tallahassee, FL

When your life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or out of control, you may not feel like yourself. Everyday tasks seem a little harder, you may feel more impatient or sensitive, and your mind seems to focus on the wrong things. My goal is to help you navigate through these challenges in a safe and non-judgmental space so you may live a more balanced, authentic, and peaceful life.

Sometimes, life challenges can make us feel isolated, overwhelmed, and like no one could possibly understand. If you're experiencing these feelings and finding it harder to cope, I'd love to partner with you in exploring and improving your situation. I'd like to show you that someone can, in fact, understand. My training – in both Counseling (MS & EdS) and Marriage & Family Therapy (PhD) – makes me uniquely qualified to address a myriad of individual and relational issues using evidence-based methods that increase insight and help bring about your desired changes.

Hi there. I’m Danica. Have you struggled to trust others throughout your life because something always seems to go wrong in relationships, leaving you feeling hurt, betrayed, or psychologically/emotionally drained? Is it hard to see your way to stable happiness without feeling like the other shoe will drop? Feeling fearful of relationships, lonely, anxious and depressed while others seem to be living their lives with little effort can be disheartening.

Up front, I'm not the therapist for everyone. I don't have a flowery sales pitch about self-fulfillment and safe spaces, I'll probably be wearing an old t-shirt and jeans, I encourage expressive profanity, and I have more tattoos than your average therapist. Most of my caseload is trauma and PTSD. Much of the trauma work involves complex trauma with co-occurring dissociation, personality disorders, substance abuse, and anger. My work with trauma clients includes adult and adolescent survivors of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, both active duty and retired military personnel, and first responders.

I enjoy working with motivated individuals who want to see change. I work with both individuals and couples/Poly/CNM who are navigating challenges in their lives or their relationships. Maybe you've found yourself feeling disconnected from your partner(s) or having the same fight over and over again. Or maybe you feel like something isn't working in your life but you just can't put your finger on it. I love helping clients explore where they're stuck and collaborate with them to find creative solutions.

My ideal client may present with a variety of issues, but ultimately they are motivated to seek change and implement strategies discussed in therapy while in-between sessions. They strive to be open and vulnerable in sessions and are looking to be an active and collaborative part of their therapeutic journey. I believe that we are all experts on our own experience, and a client who is willing to provide feedback on what is working and what isn't can assist in helping them tailor the therapy experience to their individual needs.

You find yourself constantly avoiding triggers, unable to go certain places or do things that remind you of your unresolved hurt - a lost relationship, childhood abandonment, the death of someone you love dearly. You feel limited and held back by your painful past. You get sucked into self help videos on Tik-Tok looking for a solution and find yourself more sad, more alone, and feeling empty after hours of scrolling. Together we can face the past head on. I guide clients to work through past hurt and do the work to heal. My clients finish therapy confident, emotionally healthy, and free to move forward into a hopeful future.

Seeking help takes courage. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I work with individuals, couples, and families who are interested in addressing the various emotional challenges of life. I believe everyone is capable of growth, change, and healing, and it is important to have a safe, confidential, therapeutic environment in which to work through your concerns.

Are you just existing and feeling stuck? Do you feel defective and do not want childhood abuse and trauma to define you? Do you want the anxiety by sexual abuse to stop and heal from sexual abuse. Over 50% of women and about 30% of men have experienced physical or sexual violence. Whether you survived childhood trauma, domestic violence, gun violence, physical abuse, or sexual assault, JoyFeel Therapy’s online trauma therapy practice could be the right fit for you.

Therapy allows an opportunity for growth and reconnection to the core of who we are. I hold the belief that people have the capacity to improve the course of their lives. My role as a therapist is to help guide you in discovering your strengths, build stress resilience, improve relationships, heal from trauma and gain insight for change. My expertise includes working with adults in addressing anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma and relationship concerns, including recovery from narcissistic abuse.

Are you dealing with anxiety? Depression? Stress? Whatever it may be, you deserve to live the life you want without the emotional baggage weighing you down, and I am here to help! Together, we can explore those feelings, using evidence-based techniques and trauma informed practices, to help you rid yourself of unwanted or intrusive thoughts and help you find the energy to move forward to a happier, fuller life.

TK Center for Healing & Wellness, LLC would like you to take a moment to pause and celebrate YOU for making it this far, for taking the first steps in leading a fulfilling life. Throughout our lives we will face various obstacles, but you do not have to do it alone, I am here to help. I encourage self-exploration, teach healthy coping skills, increase self-regulation skills, improve self-esteem, empower, and increase client’s understanding of the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors for increased happiness and overall wellness.

I am not currently accepting new clients. Seeking a new therapist can be overwhelming and even intimidating but I believe everyone is the expert on their own life. I enjoy working with individuals who are totally new to counseling and with people who have had bad experiences with therapy in the past. If you're not sure where to start or what modalities will most help you, that's ok. Counseling is a process, one that requires trust and connection, and as long as my clients are invested in themselves I am willing to put the time and effort into their success.

Depression comes in many forms and anxiety can be overwhelming. If you are struggling with feeling confident, experiencing self-doubt, over-thinking, guilt/shame, grief and loss, life changes, your faith, or just feeling like adulting sucks. I would love to work with you. Do you need to learn how to overcome negativity, despair, trauma and sadness. Therapy can help you to move forward in your life. To gain confidence, learn to set healthy boundaries and communicate assertively; so that you can make room for truly living and not just surviving.
