About Danielle West
Danielle West, MA LPC EMDR CIT is a inter generational trauma, specialist and passionate advocate for a mental health paradigm shift. She has been working with trauma and dissociation for decades, experientially and academically. She is driven by her conviction that the current psychiatric model is generally failing to treat mental health and instead enabling a consumer market that is dependent on reductionist explanations for a simple business model. Her practice focuses on using a state-of the-art treatment for mental health disorders. Her cutting-edge therapy focuses on the brain’s neurobiology, and the energy waves that activate our DNA thus influencing thought, behavior, mental illness, and disease. She is also EMDR certified and is a Consultant in Training.

Recovery should be Expected
Ms. West is convinced that there is a specific sequence that is scientifically proven to allow the body to recover, and reconnect, even from the most unthinkable trauma and that related diagnosis' can go into remission. Her 5 step process that compiles her Trauma Detox program built on a foundation of safety (Rapport, regulation, reflection, reprocessing, rediscovery) is a component based psychotherapy that utilizes the Trauma focused therapy, Poly Vagal theory, Cognitive neuro-science, DBT, and EMDR. Autogenics, bilateral stimulation, EFT, Biofeedback, and EMDR are the modalities used through out this process. EMDR breaks up the neural pathways that have bundled up in a cyclical manner, imprisoning your body to respond to continual trauma. EMDR will help resolve unmanageable feelings and relieve the body’s sporadic responses to everyday events. The client will be able to see and feel themselves as loveable and worthy in the midst of the past, self-concept will gain intrinsic confidence, and the body's physiological symptoms will reside.

Becoming the Change
Ms. West seeks to continue motivating, and educating the public and health care professionals to free our society that is programmed for complex trauma. By understanding the body's inter psychic defense mechanism called dissociation; which causes disconnection of mind, body, and spirit; we can take back our power and heal our world one person at a time. She has the capability to facilitate the research efforts, point out changes needed in legislation/ bill writing, catalyzing a paradigm shift in psychiatry and mental health. Ms. West offers Motivational speaking, coaching, and consultation to practitioners and facilities who are interested in learning the tools to create lasting change and trauma recovery that is contagious!
Ms West authored a Trauma Recovery Lessons book and is currently working on more resources.
