Hello, I’m Eric Danielson.
I’m a husband of twenty years, a father of three, and a grandfather of two. My greatest joy comes from spending time with my family and dogs, and I’m currently learning to play the electric guitar. I specialize in working with men—individually, in couples counseling, and in group settings—however, I desire to help all overcome the impact of trauma, and find the freedom to live as your authentic self.
If you're struggling with trauma's effects—whether that's anger, anxiety, burnout, challenges with spirituality, depression, fear, grief, moral injury, panic, PTSD, shame or other paralyzing symptoms—I'm here to help you break free. I understand how these challenges can steal your joy, impact your relationships, and leave you feeling stuck in negative patterns. With over 25 years of experience in trauma care, I use a unique, integrated approach to help you rediscover your strength and sense of purpose.
Why trauma?
For many, trauma can be the root cause of chronic emotional struggles, relationship breakdowns, or even spiritual deconstruction. These issues can often manifest as anger, anxiety, depression or even chronic pain. I've been where you are, and I’ve trained extensively to help you navigate this journey. Together, we’ll work to quiet the mental chatter, reclaim your inner peace, and allow you to connect with loved ones, thrive in your life, and lead with confidence.
Approach & Qualifications:
I offer a personalized, tailored, integrated, solution-focused, and evidence-based approach that combines techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Polyvagal theory, Somatic Experiencing, and more. I’m a DBSA Peer Support Specialist, a nationally registered Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) trauma provider, and a certified Level 1 Emotionally Focused Individual Therapist, with current pursuit of Level 2 certification. My practice is supported by a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work and clinical licenses in CT, FL, MT, and TX.
As a Level 2 Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, nationally registered CPT provider, DBSA Peer Support Specialist, and retired Army Flight Medic, I work at the intersection of understanding the nuances and complexities of military, first responder, and complex trauma. With my background as a former Corrections Medical Specialist, Co-Occurring Treatment Clinician, and VA Trauma Counselor, I bring a wealth of experience in assessing, diagnosing, and treating trauma-related issues. If you desire to work with me and are not located in one of the states where I hold licensure, certain services may be provided to you in a life coaching capacity.
I’m invested in your healing.
It’s time to stop carrying the weight of past pain. Let me give you the tools to break free from the chains of self-doubt, destructive habits, and addictions. Let’s work together to create the life you’ve always wanted — one where you’re not just surviving, but thriving.
