Meet Dana Gescher

Our Philosophy

 Every person has a story. Often the struggles we face today are connected to deeper experiences, relationships, wounds, and patterns that developed over time. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthier ways of relating, and move toward greater freedom and wholeness. 

Area of Focus

 I provide counseling for individuals, couples, addiction recovery, betrayal trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, and personal growth. Sessions are tailored to the unique needs and goals of each client 

My Approach

 My approach integrates attachment-based counseling, trauma-informed care, emotional awareness, and evidence-based practices. Rather than simply addressing symptoms, we work together to understand what is happening beneath the surface and create lasting change. 

Helping You Find Hope, Healing, and Lasting Change

Individual Counseling

 Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, or feeling stuck, counseling provides a safe place to slow down, gain insight, and move toward greater health and wholeness. Together we will explore what is happening beneath the surface and develop practical steps toward meaningful change 

Couples Counseling

 Every couple gets stuck at times. You may find yourselves having the same arguments, feeling disconnected, struggling to communicate, or wondering how to rebuild trust after hurt and disappointment. Couples counseling helps identify the patterns that keep you stuck, strengthen emotional connection, and create a safer and more satisfying relationship. Together we work toward greater understanding, deeper connection, and lasting change. 

Addiction Counseling

 Addiction often becomes a way of coping with pain, stress, loneliness, shame, or disconnection. Whether you are struggling with pornography, sexual compulsivity, substance use, or other addictive behaviors, recovery is possible. Counseling can help you understand the deeper issues driving the behavior, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen accountability, and build a path toward lasting freedom. Support is also available for spouses and family members affected by addiction and betrayal.
