Danielle Greenspan (she/her)

I am a humanistic and client centered therapist. I use evidence based modalities based on each individual client's needs. I am certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for children 1-8 years old and FirstPlay Therapy for children 0-3 years old. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which is a skill based therapy that teaches new habits to create positive change. I also use aspects of Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice based on client need. I received my BA in Psychology at CSU Sacramento and my MS in Counseling - Marriage and Family Therapy at CSU East Bay. I spent my traineeship working with survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault and children who were affected. I spent my associateship working with children and families in Sacramento County and specialized in working with children ages 1-8 and LGBTQ+ teens and families.

I believe that the most important part of any therapeutic relationship is authenticity. I bring my authentic self to session with my clients and that helps them feel safe to bring their authentic selves. I consider my approach to be gentle and direct and I taylor my approach based on each individual client, partnership or family. I am fat-positive and I believe in health at every size. I support Black Lives Matter and I am anti-racist. I believe in body autonomy and everyone’s right to choose what is best for their own body. I am sex positive and kink and polyamorous/ethically non-monogamous affirming. I am culturally Jewish and spiritually atheist. I have a non-binary spouse, 2 young children, 2 dogs and a cat. I love animals and spending time outside in nature. My most favorite thing about video telehealth has been getting to “meet” all of my clients’ pets and allowing them to share their space with me.
