A calm place to feel
more like yourself.
Individual therapy for adults, with Dana Whitmore, LCSW. In person in Brooklyn and online across New York.
Hi, I'm Dana.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker who believes therapy should feel human, unhurried, and genuinely useful.
For more than ten years I've worked with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, and the quieter feeling of being stuck. My style is warm and direct. We'll move at your pace, and you'll always know what we're working toward and why.
How I can help
Every person arrives with their own story. These are the places we most often begin.
Anxiety & overwhelm
Quieting the noise, understanding what fuels it, and building steadier ground day to day.
Depression & low mood
Gently finding your way back toward energy, meaning, and connection.
Life transitions
Support through change — career, relationships, identity, and the in-between.
Grief & loss
A steady place to hold what hurts, at whatever pace feels right.
Burnout & self-worth
Rebuilding a kinder, more sustainable relationship with yourself and your work.
Relationships
Understanding your patterns so you can show up the way you want to.
The work we do together.
Therapy isn't about being fixed. It's about being understood, and slowly building the tools to meet your own life with more ease.
I draw on evidence-based practices — cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness — and weave them with real warmth. Some weeks we'll work with practical tools. Others we'll simply make sense of things out loud. You set the direction, and I'll help you get there.
The name says it. A still point is the quiet center you can return to, even when everything around you is moving. That steadiness is what we're building.
Let's talk.
The first step is a free 15-minute call. No pressure — just a chance to hear what's bringing you in and see if we're the right fit.
