Episode 17: Danna Dahl, Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

I learned so many things during the interviews for season one. Almost every parent to date that I’ve interviewed has told me they didn’t know what to do and they didn’t know who to call when their child needed mental health treatment. I’m excited to bring more resources to parents in season two.

In this episode, Danna Dahl, Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, shares invaluable information about how to find help, what kind of help your child might need and how to know you’re getting qualified help. Here are some helpful websites if you need to find a qualified therapist/counselor:

Psychology Today (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists)-- the Therapist Locator through the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (https://www.therapistlocator.net//), or through the American Association for Christian Counselors (https://connect.aacc.net/?search_type=distance). 

Danna also references Apria Healthcare but then realized later she said the wrong organization—it’s actually Acadia Healthcare (https://www.acadiahealthcare.com/programming-treatment/behavioral-health/).
