Dana Cole, NCC, Resident in Counseling | Certified Brainspotting Consultant

Dana (she/her) is a Resident in Counseling who gets it—whether you're figuring out who you are, dealing with anxiety that won't quit, navigating messy relationships, or just trying to survive the chaos of young adulthood.
She works with college students and young adults both in-person and online, specializing in anxiety, depression, identity exploration, life transitions, relationship issues, and trauma (whether it's one big thing or a thousand small ones that add up).
Dana's approach? Down-to-earth, judgment-free, and actually helpful. She uses techniques like Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT, and ACT—basically tools that help you understand why you do what you do and how to make real changes that stick.
As someone who's done her own healing work around childhood trauma and toxic relationships, Dana knows what it's like to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're just going through the motions. Whether you're drowning in academic pressure, grieving a loss, dealing with family drama, questioning everything about your life path, or just feeling disconnected from yourself—she creates a space where you can be honest without having to perform or pretend.
Dana believes therapy works best when it feels like a collaboration, not a lecture. She'll help you tap into your own strength and intuition to figure out what you actually want—not what everyone else expects.
