About Danielle DeTora, PsyD
Clinical Psychologist - 25 + years
Anxiety, Depression, Trauma
I’m Danielle DeTora, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Lexington, MA. I specialize in depth-oriented therapy for individual adults and couples working through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and a general dissatisfaction with life.
Even after 25+ years, I still love my work as a clinical psychologist. I am passionate about helping people become more: self aware, resilient, connected to themselves and connected to others. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outside, cooking, reading, and exploring new places and hobbies
My Approach to Therapy
My work is grounded in psychodynamic and attachment theory, neuroscience, and trauma-informed research to help you get symptom relief, understand current relational patterns and identify underlying issues that drive those patterns. This multi-tiered approach is designed to promote change to happen at a deeper emotional level, rather than just an intellectual one.
My style is warm, direct, practical and human. I provide tools and practical ideas for decreasing your symptoms so you feel some relief. Once you start to feel a little better, then we explore the root causes of these symptoms, such as underlying beliefs, memories and patterns of behaviors, thoughts, and emotions using traditional talk therapy and AF-EMDR.
What Clients Say
"I have been to several therapists over the years. Dr. DeTora is unlike anyone I’ve ever worked with before – she has helped me feel better in ways I never thought possible."
"I came in with anxiety symptoms, expecting tools to help calm me down. Within a few months, I had tools and perspectives that eliminated my symptoms and helped me learn life changing things about myself and most importantly, how to integrate them in my daily life."
