All You Need Are The Right Tools

The decision to seek counseling can be full of uncertainty and embarrassment. Dana Rideout, licensed professional counselor and nationally certified counselor, understands the individual’s reluctance to talk about very personal issues to a complete stranger.  That is why she makes every effort to make your time in a therapy session feel as safe and productive as possible. Looking at your emotions and maybe even past life events and relationships can be a little scary. Dana has over 15 years of counseling experience to help you find release from what is weighing you down. Very often, the answers or “tools” needed to make a big decision or to manage your mood are already inside of you. Dana is trained to help you see your strengths and then apply them to the task at hand. And, you will find you laugh as much in each session as you may shed a tear.
A Leader’s P.A.C.E. (procrastination, acceptance, curiosity, empathy) is designed to support business leaders and agency heads interested in growing a learning culture at work and boosting employee well-being. Sharing the latest on organizational mental health and emotional IQ, Dana consults and specially designs emotional regulation workshops for employers and employees tailored to reduce workplace drama and trauma while improving productivity, time management, and overall employee health. Dana will come to your facility to address any level of business associates so as not to lose valuable travel time.
