There’s more to life than just feeling ‘fine’
When everything’s right but something feels wrong
It might be time to talk to a therapist
Do you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions, even when your life looks good on paper? I hear this often: “My life’s great, but I’m not happy and don’t know why.” Sound familiar?
You’re definitely not alone in this. It’s perfectly okay to want more — more depth, more connection, more authenticity in your life. I’m here to journey with you (and possibly your partner), to dig into the reasons behind your feelings of disconnect or dissatisfaction, so we can help you become your best self.
Your emotions matter
Let’s explore them together with psychotherapy
Hi there, I’m Dana, an experienced psychologist helping adults and couples to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe space. You know, it’s quite common for people to almost feel guilty about their unhappiness when everything seems ‘good’.
But here’s what I think: your feelings are valid, and understanding them is the first step toward change. Whether it’s feeling detached, relationship issues, or just that persistent sense that something’s off, I’m here to listen and help you (and maybe your partner) to work through those complex emotions.
Ways to work with me as your therapist
Meet Dana Tautfest, Psy. D.
Your partner in personal growth
Whether we’re unpacking your personal challenges or exploring the dynamics with your partner, I’m here to create a space where you can really understand and articulate what’s really going on.
With almost two decades of experience providing psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, couples therapy, and sex therapy, I approach each client’s journey as a collaborative exploration of the self. In other words, I’m here to explore ‘why’ with you, not just ‘what’ to do.
So if you’re not sure what’s missing and want to fill in the gaps, let’s wonder, wander, and discover together. With my unique approach to therapy, I’ll help you finally get to the bottom of what’s bugging you and step into a happier, freer, and more fulfilled ‘you’ – whether alone or with your partner
Our journey together
Building a foundation
First, you reach out, and we talk. Then, our first session is all about getting to know each other, understanding what you're going through, and figuring out how I can help. This initial chat sets the stage for our work together.
Exploring your story
Once we connect, we'll dig deep into your experiences, thoughts, and feelings. It's not about quick fixes but truly understanding the 'whys' behind your actions and emotions, paving the way for positive changes.
Shaping a fuller life
With newfound insights, we'll start moving forward. This phase is about applying what we've learned, experimenting with new perspectives or behaviors, and beginning the real work of transformation.
