Danielle Wolfe, LMSW

I think it is critically important to take into account a person’s entire life experience when addressing their struggles, and not just look at the symptoms individually. The experience and knowledge that I gained from my social work education allows me to do just that. In my practice, I like to focus on supporting people to learn and grow, as well as understanding what’s going on underneath.

I’m Danielle, and I think there’s something special about each stage of life.

Young children are making sense of the world around them, teenagers are making sense of themselves and who they want to be, and adults are navigating day-to-day struggles. A seven-year-old, a seventeen-year-old, and a twenty seven-year-old need completely different approaches and language, but all deserve a therapist who sees them as equally capable of doing meaningful work.

One misconception that frustrates me is the idea that children can’t understand complex ideas or that they’re too young to work on real goals. In my experience, kids have the capacity to understand far more than they’re given credit for. They just need someone willing to explain it in a way that connects to their world. That patience and creativity is what I bring into every session.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families.

My focus areas include emotional regulation, behavior management, family dynamics, ADHD, and anxiety, though I’m always expanding my clinical work. While I have worked a lot with kids, I also enjoy working with adults who are navigating their own struggles. Hearing a client say that something we tried is working, watching them make healthier decisions on their own, or hearing them say they’re proud of themselves are the moments that tell me I’m in the right field.

When I’m not with family or friends, I can be found in a dance class. Dance taught me to stay curious and open to learning, and I carry that same energy into my clinical work. I’m early in my career and I’m honest about that. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I’m deeply invested in growing alongside my clients and finding what works best for each person in front of me.

If something in your life feels like it needs to change but the idea of changing it feels overwhelming, I get that.

Change is scary partly because it’s hard to imagine your life looking different from the way it does right now. But if you’re here and there’s something you want to tackle, we’ll figure it out together. And if we try something that doesn’t work, we’ll change it up. Nothing is set in stone. The only thing I ask is that you stay curious about yourself. That’s where all the good stuff starts.
