Find a Therapist in Middletown, DE

My goal is to create a calm and healing therapeutic environment. In this atmosphere, you are allowed to explore areas of challenges and personal growth.

Hi! I'm Danielle Turcotte (sheherhers), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2010. My therapeutic background and experience are primarily with individual challenges (related to thoughtfeelingbehavior awareness and management, identity formationre-formation, and pastpresent relational dynamics, anxiety, and trauma). Still, I am currently learning how this skill set translates into couples counseling and am interested in exploring this work as well. I consider my approach to therapy to be, above all else, very relationally based and client-centered. This means I may reach many different therapeutic approaches, in general, or even throughout a single session, to meet your specific and individual needs. Through the therapeutic relationship built and what I learn about your behaviors and preferences, I'll discuss potential courses of therapeutic action and work with you to find whatwhere feels most comfortable to begin. I believe success most frequently comes in very small steps of realistically achievable goals and recognition of the little wins along the path. My therapeutic skillset is strongest with individual challenges related to behavioralemotional management (such as coping with strong feelingsemotions or life events, self-control, socialemotionalbehavioral struggles), identity formationre-formationlife transitions (exploring feelings of being lost or alone, questions such as, "Who am I? How do I figure out who I amwho I want to bewhat I want to do with my life moving forward? How haveare experiences and influences affecting my sense of self and others?"), and relational dynamics (family systems and how they contribute to behavior in friendships and romantic relationships, questions such as, "How does my experience affect my present behavior?"). I am excited to get to know more about you and how I might be helpful or supportive. I operate from a strong relationally-based approach that is client-centered, solution-focused, and non-judgmental. I believe in creating a nurturing, comfortable, and safe space for expression that promotes authentic exploration and insight. I am very committed to building rapport, open communication, and assisting in helping you meet the goals you set at the pace that you feel is appropriate. Being client-focused means that I tend to let you take the reins and lead, occasionally checking in to make sure we're still sharing the same end goal in mind and discussing potential paths for getting there. It's important to know that the first session is quite a bit different from the rest of the therapy. It is meant to be an introduction to therapy involving an opportunity for you to learn more about the clinician's style, an opportunity for the clinician to explore and assess your stated challengesneeds, and a discussion of treatment goals and planning. This process will hopefully assist both you and me in figuring out a therapeutic "goodness of fit,"... meaning that I feel I have enough experience to assist you in meeting your expressed goals and you feel that my approach to treatment feels comfortable and right for you.

Our world continues to change, with its weight sometimes growing overwhelming and crushing. You are not alone. Together we’ll explore your feelings & thoughts while comprehending patterns in your history and life experience that have shaped you up to this moment. We’ll find a new space that feels more authentic, free, and connected through this work. We’ll manage and reduce your feelings of anxiety, depression, and other distressing thoughts. It is never too late to take control and redefine yourself in a controlled, safe, and open place. Whether this is your first time or you've decided to return to therapy, this is a strong data-backed investment into yourself and your future. You’ve already taken the first step by searching for a therapist. While reaching out to me can be difficult and anxiety-provoking, it can also empower, potentially defining the next chapter of your life. After advanced psychoanalysis training in NYC, I moved to Washington, DC, where I've lived and worked for over eight years with a broad and diverse variety of patients just like you. Together we'll create a space in which you’re fully heard and seen, where we start the process of uncovering exactly how you show up in your life. Thank you for taking the time.

If you’re reading this, you might feel stuck—maybe anxious, disconnected, or like you’re carrying more than most people can see. You might be wondering why certain patterns keep showing up in your relationships, or why you react so strongly to things that others seem to handle with ease. Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before and walked away thinking, “No one really gets me,” or “Nothing ever changes.” If that sounds familiar, you're not alone—and you're exactly the kind of person I work best with. My approach is grounded in two things: deep empathy and honest, direct conversation. I believe therapy should feel safe—but not passive. You deserve a space where you can show up fully, be met with compassion, and also be gently challenged when it’s time to face the hard stuff. That’s where the real healing happens. We don’t just talk about symptoms—we look at the root. We connect the dots between your past experiences and your present pain so you can understand why you feel the way you do, and begin to shift it. I specialize in working with trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), complex PTSD, and unresolved childhood experiences that still affect you today. I also work with couples who find themselves stuck in painful cycles and want to reconnect on a deeper level. I understand the unique challenges of military service, first responder roles, and high-stress professions—not just from textbooks, but from personal experience. Our work together won’t be about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It will be about building real insight, lasting change, and a stronger connection to yourself. You don’t have to do it alone—and it doesn’t have to feel so heavy. Therapy with me is a space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow into the version of yourself that’s been waiting beneath the pain. If you’re ready to do the work, I’m ready to walk with you.

Welcome! Thanks for visiting my page. The idea of counseling can be scary, no matter what our age, and this is a huge step. Finding the right “fit” can be critical for your success in counseling. Let me tell you a bit about my practice to see if it helps in your search. Most people come to my practice to gain a sense of what patterns are keeping them stuck (even when past counseling has not worked). Together we face what has been avoided to achieve greater satisfaction and fulfillment in our lives. I use humor to normalize symptoms of stress and provide a warm, comfortable environment to let go and take new supported risks. My practice works with the philosophy that past experiences can impact our present triggers, current relationships, and even future decisions. I work with past traumas (big or small) and present "pesky" symptoms you want healed through EMDR and IFS therapy to bring deep healing and resolution. Therapy is customized to meet your individual needs and goals. Issues- anxiety, panic attacks, depression, PTSD, trauma, grief, relationship conflict, attachment wounding and struggles, and Life Transitions

Do you ever feel like there's an instruction book to life that everyone got but you? Does it seem like everyone else "has it all together" and you're just trying to fake your way through life? Not a good feeling, is it? Believe it or not, you're not alone, and you're not as bad as you think. You've learned ways to think and feel about yourself that made sense in the past, but they aren't working so well now. I specialize in helping my clients identify their unhelpful ways of thinking and feeling so they can choose to think and feel differently about themselves and improve their self-esteem. I also help clients to process traumatic experiences, both "big T" traumas (like combat, sexual and physical assaults, and car accidents), and "little T" traumas (like negative interactions that lead to a poor self-image). Contact me today so I can help you to understand why you shouldn't believe everything you think!

Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, you're transitioning out of a higher level of care, or you're somewhere in between, my goal is to help you experience relief from your symptoms and get back to living life on your terms. I work with teenagers (13+) and adults and specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. I also have experience in treating PTSD and OCD and understand the importance of providing trauma-informed care. Regardless of your diagnosis, I believe that it's important to tailor each person's treatment to their specific needs. As part of my treatment approach, I believe that each session is an opportunity for you to develop a deeper awareness of the self, uncover patterns, learn to build tolerance for uncomfortable emotions, and strengthen self-compassion. I also provide art therapy, which allows you to express emotions and process experiences that may be difficult to speak about. I have seen first-hand how both talk therapy and art therapy can encourage growth and support an increase in self-awareness and mindfulness. I look forward to the opportunity to help you or your child gain support and learn skills that will be beneficial for years to come!

My goal as a therapist is to make the therapeutic journey a a comforting and safe space. Something to know about my approach is that I am a systemic therapist, meaning, I view you as more than just an individual, but rather a product of the environment you grew up in. This helps me understand what made you who you are today, and what we can do to help you heal. Together, we will be able to overcome the challenges that have been making you feel stuck or alone. I know how hard it can be, and I value the progress that can happen in therapy. Everyone is different, which is why I tailor each session to the individual. My specialties include helping those struggling with anxiety, ADHD (utilizing CBT skills) and trauma (utilizing EMDR), and are looking to heal themselves while feeling more confident in who they are. I offer therapy online, and my associates at my group practice offer therapy in person. If you feel like a good fit, please don't hesitate to reach out!

I treats both individuals and couples utilizing the latest in evidence-based practices. Specifically, I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, OCD, depression, anger, stress management, trauma, and sport-performance psychology. I am also well-versed in the psychological assessment of psychopathology, personality, intelligence, and other areas. I conduct evaluations for court, pre-surgery, immigration issues, emotional support animals, and other forensics. Most importantly, I am committed to helping my clients live meaningful, values-driven lives with peace.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia. Born and raised in Iowa, I attended Iowa State University, graduating with a double major in Child, Adult, and Family Services and Spanish. I have traveled and lived in many places throughout the world, and have developed an appreciation for the differences we all have, but also the similarities that unite us. I received my master’s degree from Rutgers University. In my 18 years of work experience, I have worked supporting children, adolescents, and families. That experience includes working with trauma, depression, anxiety, school related anxiety and refusal, conflict between parents and children, involvement in the juvenile justice system, immigration stress and trauma, and crisis intervention. I have experience in child and adolescent therapy, family therapy, parenting, group therapy, and school-based mental health. I meet the child and family where they are on their journey and works collaboratively to develop realistic goals that will improve functioning in all environments. I utilize a strengths-based, solution-focused and family systems approach. I encourage children and families to share their culture and integrate the unique cultural experiences of families into treatment. I enjoy spending time outside, watching movies, reading books, and crocheting. I also enjoy various forms of exercise, like weightlifting and yoga. I enjoy watching (and sometimes playing) sports. I bring creativity and energy to my practice and am mindful and strategic about interventions used when working with children and families. Mental health is an important part of our being. Just like we eat food to feed our physical body, we must also get what we need to be mentally and emotionally resilient.
