Dana Ticker, LMFT
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over a decade of experience supporting people in their healing journeys. My approach is somatic, trauma-informed mindfulness-based and deeply person centered. I believe that healing happens not just through insight, but through presence – of the body, heart and spirit. My work is rooted in respect for each client’s inner wisdom, and I draw on nature, ceremony and relationship as resources for transformation. I meet each person with compassion, curiosity and an unwavering trust in their capacity to heal. I believe the healing we do on an individual level ripples outward — nurturing our families, communities and collective field.
In addition to my clinical training, I have completed advanced studies in energy medicine through Lightsong School of Shamanic Studies and have specialized training in equine facilitated therapy. Working in partnership with horses and with nature has brought profound depth to my practice.
