Daniela Izatt, CSW

The best thing that has ever happened to me is people. I’m continually inspired by the qualities, goodness, and resilience I see in others. I’m deeply honored to assist people in their journey toward greater growth and well-being.

Through both my personal experiences and education, I’ve gained a profound understanding of what creates and impacts our overall well-being. Through my work, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and their families in a variety of settings, including school-based mental health, inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment, crisis intervention, and care for veterans and active-duty service members.

I am passionate about supporting children, teens, and adults through various personal challenges. These may include issues related to culture, faith, or identity; stress or burnout; major life transitions and loss; hopelessness and thoughts of suicide; addiction recovery; the effects of shame and negative self-beliefs; anxiety; depression. I also focus on assisting couples and families in strengthening relationships, improving communication, building healthier boundaries, and enhancing parenting skills.

In working with my clients, I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches built on being person-centered and trauma-informed. The therapies that most strongly guide my practice include Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Play Therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Above all, I believe in empathy, trust, and collaboration as the foundation for personal transformation and growth. My faith in a perfect, loving Creator also significantly influences my work - this spiritual foundation deepens my belief in each person’s innate ability to overcome challenges, heal, and thrive. I warmly welcome people from all walks of life and backgrounds, regardless of their guiding principles.

Outside of my work, I find joy in priceless, simple ways - sharing life with my family and loved ones and receiving love from our sweet pets. Being in nature and renewal through people are my favorite places to create peace amid the wonderful chaos of life.
