Danielle Vielle
MA, LCSW
I have over 10 years experience with adolescents, adults, and older adults with anxiety, grief/loss, intergenerational trauma, acculturative stress and cultural identity exploration.
Choosing to begin therapy is a meaningful step, and I’m honored to be part of your journey. Whether you're navigating life transitions, healing from past experiences, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and seen. My approach is healing-centered, culturally responsive, and grounded in the belief that every person's story deserves to be met with compassion, curiosity, and respect. Together, we will build on your strengths while honoring your values, lived experiences, and cultural background.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and individualized. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma Informed, Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy.
I am passionate about working with the American Indian and Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities, both on and off Tribal lands. As an Indigenous therapist, I recognize that healing doesn't happen in isolation. It is deeply connected to our identities, cultural values, communities, relationships, and the resilience we carry.
A little more about me, I grew up the majority of my life in rural Southern Utah on the Navajo Nation Reservation. I got my Master’s of Social Work from Utah State University, and then moved to the Bay in 2020. I love creating art, whether that be taking photographs, scrapbooking, or painting/drawing. I know from my own journey towards well-being that healing is not linear and that it happens one moment at a time. I hope you will join me in cultivating resilience, self-compassion, and healing.
