the human behind the work
I’m Danielle Turwitt, LMHC, (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with a BS in Psychological Research and a MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
I became licensed in 2019 after four years of supervised clinical practice. I’ve worked in the mental health field for over a decade.
My experience includes inpatient behavioral health, IOP/PHP programs, adoption counseling, community mental health, and private practice.
I specialize in adoption‑focused and attachment‑centered care, supported by years of completing home studies, post‑placement reports, birth parent support, and adoption counseling.
I use evidence‑based approaches such as CBT, SFBT, narrative therapy, existential therapy, and Gottman‑informed family work.
I’ve presented at international conferences, spoken to graduate students, served on private practice panels, delivered a keynote speech for graduating MS counseling cohorts and was voted Best of Clay County Counselor in 2022 and 2024.
Outside the therapy room, I’m a mother, a partner, and someone who values the small, steady moments that make life feel full. I love being outdoors — sailing, paddle boarding, hiking, gardening. I enjoy giving back through community involvement and volunteering. Creativity is a core part of my life, and I bring that same grounded, human energy into my work with clients.

Private Pay
If you are contracted with a plan, you must bill that insurance for covered services. You cannot charge private‑pay rates for in‑network clients unless:
- the service is not covered by their insurance plan,
- the client chooses not to use their insurance and signs an acknowledgment of this choice, or
- the insurance company allows an approved opt‑out arrangement.
Private pay is available for clients who prefer increased privacy, flexibility, or autonomy in their treatment. Private pay allows us to work together without diagnosis requirements, session limits, or medical‑necessity criteria. Superbills can be provided for clients seeking out‑of‑network reimbursement.
