I saw a few other counselors before I found one that wasn’t too uptight and that I really felt like I could talk to. Dana is very easy to talk to and we actually laugh a lot during our sessions even though we are dealing with some pretty serious problems.

“Dana was recommended by my regular therapist who is not trained in EMDR. Dana did a great job preparing me to work on abuse that has haunted me for decades. She is super talented in using EMDR and now I don’t have the bad memories popping into my head anymore that caused me such anxiety for so long!”

“We needed couples counseling because we were arguing so much and thought it was the end of our marriage. Dana took the time to get to know us and our relationship. She taught us to have a discussion vs. an argument and how to keep things from turning ugly. We are doing better now, but keep coming to counseling about once a month or so because it is good to have a place to talk and she keeps us from falling back into old habits.”

“Dana always has a professional, compassionate, and open mindset for all situations. She is a comfortable and safe person to speak with, and approaches each session with encouragement. In particular, her training and specialty in EMDR was a very helpful process. She truly takes the time to hear your heart, and knows the right ways to help you cope. Her expertise allows her to assess a good pace for your healing, and finding the most resourceful ways of tackling your problems. She will provide you with the tools you need to progress, and just has an amazing way of lifting your spirits. She is charismatic, strong, and incredibly good at her job. I owe so much to Dana. She changed my life and I can’t recommend her enough. Without her, I would never be where I am today.

Most people don’t think they need counseling. I was one of those people. It wasn’t until I had a very traumatic event that I was having trouble coping with that led me to Dana. A good friend had recommended her to me. Dana has helped me so much, that I can’t begin to even explain. She is definitely someone I would recommend! She is very compassionate and understanding about my experiences. She has helped me find myself again.” Rebecca, Altamonte Springs.

I just got out of a really bad abusive relationship. Dana has helped me understand and cope with the emotional and physical abuse I had happen. I couldn’t have picked a better counselor. She has been very understanding and helpful in letting me know the many resources and options which are available to me, that I didn’t know existed. My Ex is still stalking and harassing me. Dana has made me feel better about myself and helped restore my energy to be able to cope with the situation. I don’t know what I would do without her.” Anonymous, Orlando area.

I was tired of feeling like I have been stepped on by others all the time and just do what others want. While reading online, I found an article about assertiveness training. I read more about it and thought this might be for me. I looked up counselors in my area, and found Dana to be closest to my work. So, I gave it a try. Dana is excellent at what she does, and helped me learn to say No when I need to and to create boundaries with others who had been taking advantage of me. I strongly recommend Dana.  David A., Heathrow.

“I have never been to a counselor before, but things in my life had become so horrible, I decided to give it a try. I was a little nervous about going, but finally got the nerve to call and do the short phone consult that Dana at Healthy Living Counseling offers. It was the best thing I ever did. Dana was super nice and understanding of my concerns. So, I scheduled an appointment and have been seeing her ever since. She has helped me with my anxiety and depression and I am feeling a lot better. I would highly recommend her.” Hailey, Apopka.

I attended a free cancer talk in Winter Park many years ago with a friend who had cancer. Dana was the speaker at the event. Last year, I found out I had cancer. I was scared to death and had so many questions. I remembered she was very compassionate at the cancer talk when I went with my friend and looked her up. I made an appointment with her right away. She has been so helpful and knows so much about cancer, she gave me a new outlook about dealing with my own cancer. She is very good. I recommend her.  Fernanda P., Apopka.

Dana is very friendly and the most understanding counselor I have met. She doesn’t scold you harshly about your flaws, is easy to talk to, and really LISTENS! I have been to some in the past, who didn’t really listen to me or understand how I feel. Since I have been seeing Dana, that has all changed. She doesn’t always have answers, but encourages me to think more critically about how I am feeling and helps me to understand myself better, but no matter what, she listens. She is SUPER!!” Maria, Altamonte Springs.
