“We are not our stress. We are not how many hours we worked last week. We are not what car we drive. We are not our pant size. We are not what we were taught makes us valuable.Have you had an experience of self separate from these things? Have you had an experience of self separate from how the outside world sees you? Do you know who you are underneath all the doing? Do you know your core essence?This is what I’ve learned working with Dana. I have met my core sense of self through my therapy with her. Using IBP and other modalities, I have been able to go beyond what I learned in years of talk therapy.She has changed my life for the better. If you are ready for a new perspective on life, on soul, on your purpose here, Dana is for you.”
“I began seeing Dana because I was having trouble letting go of past hurts and resentments. I was hanging on to old stuff and letting it color my behavior and dealings with the people I love today. I’d been in therapy before for six years and wanted something a little more results-oriented, something that defined success and went for it. I was very happy with Dana, who I found to be consistently positive, full of ideas, and insightful about my problems. After eight months, I left therapy feeling much better in my own skin. I am taking better care of myself and making decisions that are good for me. I would definitely recommend her to people who sincerely want to make changes in their lives.”
“My personal experiences with Dana Halsted have been quite amazing, and I’d like to share my gratitude and story. I started seeing Dana as my therapist as an individual and with a partner for couples sessions as well. The catalyst was a want to begin to understand reoccurring issues I was having in the relationship. Our work together led me back to myself, helped me begin to witness instead of react and ultimately changed the course of my life in many ways. When people now ask about my healing work, I tell them that it gained momentum in an office with an incredible therapist who showed me how to relate and foster a relationship with my inner child and create new patterns/pathways in the mind/body connection. Appreciation doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about my time with Dana and the effects that have transpired within. She is more than a therapist to me, she is a healer herself, helping others to find their own healer that was inside all along just waiting to find a way to be (re)discovered. ”
“I knew nothing about Integrative Body Psychotherapy before visiting Dana, and I came in as a skeptic. But Dana is a perceptive listener and an even better explainer. She was able to pinpoint the motivating aspects of my personality that were always roiling under the surface, and for which I lacked the proper words to express. By the time we started focusing on the body, I was already in touch with some of my biggest personal sticking points and had the right vocabulary to transcend them. This is therapy that clears the fog of daily experience and gives you a glimpse what’s really happening in your psyche.”
