Hello, I'm Danielle
About Danielle West, MA LPC EMDR Consultant
Welcome to my corner of the web! I am Danielle West, a passionate advocate for a mental health paradigm shift and a specialist in intergenerational trauma. With a Master of Arts in Counseling, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and an EMDR Consultant. For over two decades, my journey in mental health has been both experiential and academic, driven by a steadfast commitment to transform how we understand and treat trauma and dissociation.
Professional Background
I facilitate advanced EMDR trainings in Ego State, Parts work, and Polyvagal theory. Additionally, I train and consult clinicians who treat Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). My approach is rooted in the conviction that ethical mental health treatment begins with a thorough investigation of a person's environment before considering genetic factors. I believe that trauma leaves behind a residue of dysfunctional thoughts, behaviors, and medical conditions that can and need to be detoxed.
A New Approach to Mental Health
The current psychiatric model often overlooks environmental factors and trauma, leading to widespread misdiagnosis and over-prescription of medications. My practice focuses on trauma-focused therapy for reconnection, coupled with EMDR, which produces positive effects such as reduced dependence on pharmaceuticals, enhanced focus, and numerous other benefits. I advocate for redefining the terms "mental illness" and "stable" to "gifted" and "recovered," emphasizing the body's innate ability to heal itself.
Inspiration and Mission
My passion for this field was ignited when I taught self-efficacy to orphaned and trafficked girls in India. Witnessing their resilience and capacity for change inspired me to strive for improvements in mental health treatment. I have been unwavering in my mission to create change even when others have given up.
Cutting-Edge Therapy
My practice employs state-of-the-art treatment methods for mental health disorders, focusing on the brain’s neurobiology and the energy waves that activate our DNA. This innovative approach influences thought, behavior, mental illness, and disease, offering a comprehensive solution to mental health challenges.
