Daniel Sommer

Daniel Sommer, a compassionate Clinical Social Worker and therapist, understands that being human is challenging. He recognizes that individuals often struggle with the disparity between who they believe they 'should' be and the emotional aspects of their true selves. This conflict can lead to various mental health issues, including chronic anxiety, prolonged grief, post-traumatic stress, and depression. In his practice, Daniel emphasizes the importance of cultivating a relationship with the emotional parts of the mind rather than merely 'fixing' distressing feelings. His approach involves integrating these essential emotions into a healthier and more authentic self. Daniel's psychodynamic therapy fosters a supportive and empathic relationship, allowing for the exploration of emotions that may be confusing, painful, or unwanted. He believes that true growth emerges when distressing emotions are expressed rather than suppressed. As social beings, individuals are not meant to face emotional challenges alone. Unfortunately, societal expectations often lead to emotional suppression. Daniel is committed to helping those who are struggling with emotional distress and guiding them towards a path of healing and self-discovery.
