Daniel Linehan has 19 years of clinical experience and is a fully certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT) who’s effectively counseled numerous individuals, couples, and families. He is certified in CBT, REBT, and TEAM-CBT. He also practices Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), EMDR, and Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). One of his specialties is with co-dependents struggling to get out of unhealthy relationships and learning how to prevent falling into the same patterns in a new relationship. Daniel is known for his direct, engaging, and interactive style and warm approach. He can sense his clients' thoughts and feelings and shows compassion and acceptance when listening and interacting. The goal for the client is always moving towards living the kind of life they want to live. What that looks like is different for everyone because we all have our own set of values, but the stronger our values, the harder it can be to accept ourselves and others in the world. Daniel helps clients find that balance for themselves! He challenges his clients, engages them, and gets positive results. Daniel teaches clients how to be their own therapist to help them cope on their own and lead self-fulfilling lives. Dan's clients see him as compassionate, funny, and, most importantly, he is not the type of therapist who sits back and nods their head the entire session. Daniel challenges clients and gets results without judgment.

I have been working with individuals and families since 1998. The majority of my work has been with adolescents and adults who struggle with a variety of psychiatric, emotional and behavioral issues in individual and group settings. My specialties include Trauma, Anxiety, Mood Disorders (Depression, Bipolar), Addiction, Anger Management, Borderline Personality Disorder and Parenting. My approach to therapy draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

My approach to therapy is client-specific, empathetic, and nurturing. Life gives all of us challenges, but our experiences are not all the same. I take the time to identify my clients’ strengths and help them learn to leverage those in their daily lives through mindfulness, practice, and repetition. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey, I’m here to support you with care and understanding.

I am a licensed psychotherapist in private practice with nearly 20 years of clinical experience providing therapy for adults and couples throughout New York State. I work with individuals who often appear highly capable and successful on the outside, yet privately struggle with anxiety and mood difficulties, emotional overwhelm, trauma, relationship difficulties, burnout, chronic stress, or a persistent sense of feeling stuck, despite insight and previous therapy. Many of the people I work with are accustomed to functioning at a high level in their personal or professional lives. They may understand their patterns intellectually, yet continue to experience the same emotional reactions, relationship dynamics, or internal struggles that seem resistant to change. Therapy can become most valuable when understanding alone is no longer enough. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and grounded in current neuroscience, recognizing that emotional difficulties are often held not only in thoughts, but also in the nervous system, relationships, and lived experience. Rather than applying a single method to every person, treatment is individualized and may draw from psychodynamic therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and nervous system regulation strategies. I believe meaningful therapy extends beyond symptom reduction. While many people seek relief from anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, or relationship conflict, my goal is to help create deeper and more enduring change, greater self-understanding, improved relationships, increased emotional resilience, and a stronger connection to yourself. I also work with couples seeking relationship therapy around communication difficulties, recurring conflict, betrayal and trust concerns, life transitions, and relational patterns that create distance or disconnection. I offer online therapy throughout New York State and provide both short-term focused work and longer-term psychotherapy, depending on your needs. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, but it can also be the start of meaningful and lasting change.

I specialize in working with young adults struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions and substance use. When we are anxious and overwhelmed, it can cause us to feel disconnected from others. Feeling stuck and stressed can trigger self-doubt and poor decision-making, and this chips away at our self-esteem. Personal challenges have taught me that tough times can be an opportunity to gain wisdom and resiliency. I can help you identify the core issues that are negatively impacting your life and deterring you from enjoying your life and achieving your goals. I am an ‘active’ therapist, who makes suggestions and offers guidance, as opposed to just asking “how does that make you feel”? I forge close relationships with clients, who appreciate my warmth, openness and good energy. I provide clients a safe, judgement-free space, where they feel heard, respected and supported. Using holistic and science-based methods, I teach clients solution-focused strategies that they implement in their daily life and for future bumps in the road. With my help, clients learn to step into their personal power. This increases their self-confidence, optimism, and self-awareness. If you are ready to step into your power, I can help you get there.

At Peace and Wellness Center, we are committed to meet the emotional needs of our clients and to help them achieve a renewed sense of wellbeing. We believe that all people have the potential to achieve fulfilling and satisfying lives. The Center provides an array of behavioral therapy services to clients of different ages and backgrounds. Our psychotherapeutic services are tailored to our clients' needs in a nurturing and supportive environment. We are committed to providing compassionate and confidential care to our clients while they embark on a journey to achieve personal and emotional growth. Our goal is to always inspire and guide clients to identify their own inner peace, to harness it, and to use its tremendous power throughout the good and bad times in their lives. Therapy is most effective when there is a feeling of trust and when a strong connection is felt between therapist and client. Through experience, I have found that the client benefits from a first session where they can walk in and discuss their primary concerns and feelings without any pressure. Therefore, we offer an initial consultation. The initial consultation provides you the opportunity to ask questions, learn about the services we provide before you are asked questions about why you are seeking therapy. This initial consultation is also essential for us to assess what we need to know about the prospective client and to determine if the client and therapist are a good fit before we make an agreement to work together. Clients who have had an initial consultation approach their first session of therapy with a greater sense of comfort, commitment, and readiness. Each person has unique needs and goals for therapy. As skilled therapists, we bring a broad range of best practice knowledge gained from training, clinical and personal experiences. Therapy is a collaborative experience that develops as trust is established in an empathetic and nurturing therapeutic alliance. A well-prepared therapist understands just how challenging life can be and will help clients overcome the challenges that are impacting their quality of life.

I've been a practicing psychotherapist since 1982 and use an integrative and humanistic approach to problem solving, symptom relief, and relationship repair. I'm trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and over the years have integrated spiritual, behavioral and cognitive techniques. I believe people are entitled to be heard without judgment or criticism. I provide a corrective emotional experience that allows clients to feel fully entitled and free to be assertive, connected, and reach their fullest potential.
