Counseling Services with

Dan A. Cooper, LMHC, Psychotherapist

Many of us benefit from having a safe space where we can regularly express ourselves with an empathic Clinical Counselor. The process of exploring our struggles, frustrations, as well as aspirations, with a non-judgmental professional Counselor, can produce growth. We work together to constructively navigate mental, relational, emotional, and physical obstacles. 

My passion is to share Integrative, Experiential, and Mindful methodologies to help individuals with interrupting unhelpful habit patterns and to enhance health and well being.  In sessions I offer tools and practices such as self-inquiry, developing perceptiveness, and opening to greater perspectives.  Together we engage in dialogue and collaboration, and aim to re-orient toward greater Awareness. 

The holistic approaches which I offer aim to inspire reflection, inquisitiveness, and exploration. They take time and practice and can foster gradual development. A few of the qualities that I look for in prospective clients are: motivation to learn and grow, self-awareness, and receptivity to engage in dialogue and collaboration. The modalities I share with clients include tools such as mindfulness, neuroscience, relational skills, healthy questioning, and practical methods to rewire negative spirals.

The following methodologies inform my practice: Strength based and Trauma-Informed approaches (with an emphasis in Neurobiology, Neuroscience), Internal Family Systems, AEDP, Creative Arts Therapies, Mindfulness, and Self-Compassion.  My extensive clinical experience includes previous work at Cornell University Health Center, as well as other outpatient Behavioral Health settings.

Virtual sessions are offered in both NY and MA.  In person sessions may be available in Ithaca, NY.   I am an in-network provider with Aetna (including SHP) as well as other plans in NY and MA. Please inquire about availability, costs and other insurance options.
