Danielle Desmet, LAC

A big part of my work is helping children and teens who may be navigating big emotions, anxiety, confidence, and the ups and downs of growing up. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years as an elementary/middle school teacher, and my time in the classroom gave me a deep appreciation for the way children communicate and experience the world around them. I want therapy to be a place where your child can feel supported, celebrated, and empowered to grow.

My approach is playful, positive, and personalized to each child. When working with the littles, I love using CBT, DBT, and EMDR for kids, along with art, breathwork, mindfulness, and movement. My goal is to help them understand their big feelings, build confidence, learn healthy coping skills, and discover how capable they truly are!

I believe supporting your child means supporting you, too. One of my priorities is ensuring that parents feel heard, supported, and involved throughout the therapeutic process. Together, we can create a team that helps your child work through the hard moments, celebrate the little wins, and grow into their most confident self.
