Mr. Daniel Nennig, LPC and CADC

Life is full of paradoxes—beautiful, messy, and complex. Sometimes it feels like navigating the waves of change stirs up unresolved questions and emotions we didn’t even know were there. But it’s in facing these depths that real insight and growth happen. My approach to therapy combines compassion with a deep respect for the unique psychological, emotional, and cultural layers that make each person who they are. I aim to create a space that feels safe, open, and grounded—a place where we can dive into the intricacies of your experience and explore the unconscious forces shaping your world.

I see therapy as a collaborative journey, drawing from psychodynamic, existential, and relational perspectives. Psychodynamic work helps us trace how past experiences shape your current emotional and relational patterns, while the relational lens focuses on how our dynamic mirrors your interactions with others, revealing insights about connection, boundaries, and attachment. Through an existential lens, we’ll explore identity, meaning, and authenticity, helping you move through life’s uncertainties with greater clarity and self-awareness. Together, these approaches honor your past, highlight present patterns, and open pathways to more meaningful connections.

As a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I have extensive experience working with, those navigating substance use challenges, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and clients facing complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I am especially passionate about supporting those who have experienced parental narcissistic abuse.

Outside the therapy room, I draw from my background in music and the arts, often rooted in an appreciation for the interplay of light and shadow, much like the psyche itself. As a classically trained pianist with a bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts, I view creativity as a reflection of the unconscious. Both art and therapy invite us to confront, explore, and celebrate the complexities of existence. Together, we’ll navigate your inner landscape, uncovering hidden depths and fostering balance, healing, and a richer understanding of yourself.
