Daniella Kramer, Keshet Counseling LLC

My Approach to Helping

I practice holistic and integral psychology, taking the whole body, mind, & spirit into consideration, bringing a somatic, depth, and mindfulness approach to our work. My practice is integrative: weaving elements of ecopsychology, dreamwork, mindfulness, and body-centered expression, and I also strongly rely on CBT, Narrative Therapy, Hakomi, and a psychodynamic approach to understand the unconscious stories we tell ourselves. Using mindfulness we will often pay attention to “where” and “how” feelings and experiences are held within your body, and explore the deeper meanings in your life, as well as the deeper reasons behind your challenges and difficulties. I don't subscribe to the belief that there is something wrong with you, rather "what happened to you".

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I trust that your inherent intelligence and ability to connect to yourself can be revealed and encouraged through the therapeutic relationship that we will create together, which is why I will often turn to you for answers, as I respect that you are the ultimate authority on your life and experience. While I work from a compassionate stance in helping you figure out what works for you, my style is very honest and direct. I am much more of an engaged and directive therapist than a passive listener, and I will assume you are coming to therapy to make changes. I am here to walk this walk with you thanks to having overcome many of my own personal life challenges that have given me the empathy and understanding to be real with you. Congrats on taking the first step of reaching out for the help you deserve.
