Dana McPherson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a clinical therapist licensed in California with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and navigating through life changes. I work with a range of clients from teens to seniors and I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will “meet you where you are”, tailoring our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life- whether it’s through improving relationships, getting “unstuck”, or resolving issues from the past- takes courage and I have a lot of respect for that. I am here to support you in the process of finding a better way to be. *Please note that I do not provide couples therapy. Additionally, many clients are waiting for time to become available for appointments- I ask that you please be respectful of their time and of mine. Three no show appointments will result in termination.

Her practice focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, self-esteem, career matters, and coping with life changes. She also works with LGBT clients and offers a non-religious, liberal therapeutic approach.

Dana approaches each person with sensitivity, respect, and compassion, tailoring sessions and treatment plans to meet individual needs and meeting clients where they are in their journey. She recognizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life—whether through improving relationships, getting unstuck, or resolving past issues—takes courage and provides supportive guidance throughout that process.

Please note that Dana does not provide couples therapy. Because appointment availability can be limited, she asks that prospective clients be respectful of others who are waiting; three no-show appointments will result in termination of services.
