dani patrick (they/them)

My name is Dani and I am a white, queer, trans, non-binary therapist and expressive arts therapist. 

My focus is providing individual therapy for LGBTQIA+ adults, artists and creatives, and people who identify as non-monogamous, polyamorous, and/or kinky. I provide therapy by video throughout Texas and Washington and in person in Houston, TX. I specialize in working with trans and non-binary folks and people navigating relationships, building self-confidence, or wanting to reconnect with their creativity.

I strive to create an environment where you can be yourself, where you can feel comfortable exploring your experience and taking risks, and where you can take steps towards what’s important to you. You deserve a therapist that gets you – it’s important to me to take the time to get to know who you are and what you are facing. I am social justice oriented, neurodiversity-affirming, and work from a trauma-informed perspective. 

I am an expressive arts therapist and often integrate play and creative expression into therapy. This could include anything from creating a D&D character who represents part of your experience, to making a music playlist, to integrating visual art, movement, music, writing, or role-playing into our work. 

As a therapist, I am warm, engaged, and curious. I cheer you on and see myself as a facilitator and a collaborator as you work towards your goals. I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Arts Therapy and have worked for over seven years in the mental health and related fields. This includes college and university counseling, the domestic violence field, OCD treatment, and healthy relationship and arts education. Outside of my work as a therapist, I love camping near water, attending queer and sex-positive events, finding dogs to snuggle, and trying out new gluten free recipes.
