Dana Steiner

Dana Steiner is an individual and couples therapist licensed to practice independently in Illinois with more than 26 years of clinical experience.

Her areas of focus include relationship issues and couples counseling, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, depression and anxiety, stress management, addictions, trauma and abuse, family conflicts, LGBT issues, eating and sleeping disorders, self-esteem, ADHD, career difficulties, coping with life changes and major life transitions, supporting those living with chronic or terminal illness, and exploring the connection between mood and food.

Clients often say she is “very different from other therapists” they have seen. She offers timely feedback when appropriate and invites clients to share their responses as well, which helps her tailor treatment plans to the specific concerns presented. Her supportive, compassionate style creates a safe, nonjudgmental environment where learning to manage and overcome difficulties becomes more achievable through collaborative work.

Originally from Brooklyn, New York, she moved to the Midwest to attend Washington University in St. Louis and earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She completed graduate work at Argosy University in Chicago and obtained full independent licensure to practice in Illinois five years later.

Dana has received intensive training in mindfulness-based therapeutic skills, holds a level one certification in the Gottman Method for working with couples, and is certified to supervise Licensed Professional Counselors and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors. She is a member of the American Counseling Association and of the National Association of Professional Women, where she was honored for “Outstanding Excellence and Dedication to Her Profession and the Achievement of Women.” She is also an Honored VIP member in Covington’s Who’s Who and received a “Therapist of the Year” award voted by clients.

Dana Steiner recognizes that seeking help takes courage. If someone is ready to take the first steps toward greater well-being and a more fulfilling life, she is available to support and empower them through each stage of the process.
