ABOUT ME:
EMDR TRAUMA THERAPIST
I’m Danielle Madonna, a licensed psychotherapist in New York and Florida. I came into this work because I’ve seen, up close, what happens when pain goes unspoken, when emotions are minimized, and when people are expected to “just be strong” no matter the cost. I have been working in the field of mental health for 10 years, 6 of those years I have been in private practice.I have worked in psychiatric inpatient settings, substance abuse detox and rehabs, as well as residential programs for adolescent teens.
​
Through working with a wide range of populations, I’ve come to specialize in supporting individuals who appear to have everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted internally. Many of my clients are first responders, adult children of alcoholics, trauma survivors, and men who were never given the language—or permission—to talk about what they carry.
MY MISSION
Its a privilege and honor to be trusted with individuals' life stories and hardships. My hope is that through creating a trusting environment where both you & I can explore and witness all parts of self, we will rediscover your authentic self. Challenging limiting beliefs and creating purpose out of pain is at the heart of our work.
​
It is my belief that therapy is not about "fixing" what is “broken,” but about rediscovering the intrinsic parts of yourself that have always been there, parts that may have been obscured by survival strategies and coping mechanisms developed over time.
