Canvas Health offers several treatment programs for adults with significant mental health challenges, including Adult Group Therapies. Canvas Health currently offers Adult Group Therapy Programs at its Oakdale mental health clinic and Bloomington mental health clinic.
In some cases for those with significant mental health challenges, a period of intensive daily treatment is necessary to bring about meaningful change. Adult Day Treatment focuses both on the process of recovery as well as on the development of skills clients can use to cope with mental health symptoms.

Clinical Trainee
Creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for clients is my topmost priority. Allowing clients to freely express themselves regardless of their background is important in every healing process. My approach is a partnership that seeks to ensure that clients are seen and heard. I have a great commitment to ensure that Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) are given the necessary tools needed for their healing journeys. I see you! I hear you! I look forward to working with you!
I have had extensive experience with crisis intervention on issues involving victim/survivor(s) of sexual assault. I have also provided mental health services using evidence-based approaches such as motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Therapist - Adult Group Therapies
People find themselves struggling with something that is making life more difficult than it needs to be. Maybe friends and family aren’t there for you anymore, or they just can’t understand what is happening with you. You need to talk to someone who can help you sort it out-someone who can listen and reflect with you but won’t tell you what to do. Someone who can help you find the answers that come from within. Whether it’s a life transition, or managing your mental health, I can help you find ways to manage it that work for you and your life. I work with people who are trying to understand the factors at play in their lives; those who want to add more joy to their life, make repairs in their significant relationships; make a new start.
As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I work with individuals who are experiencing mental health concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety or other concerns and would like support. I am also a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor who has helped people understand and work with their addictions.
My grandchildren are my pride and joy. I love spending time with them and sharing their lives. I have three fur grandchildren also who I love to spend time with. I also love walking, hiking, watching movies and snacks!

Psychotherapist
Life is sometimes hard. It is okay to struggle and to need help. I approach therapeutic work as a collaborative effort towards mental wellness. I believe that a lot of mental health symptoms stem from attempts to meet needs in ways that work at the time and later lose much of their effectiveness. Together we can work to change these patterns and find a way for you to thrive in the life you deserve.
I have worked with clients ages 5 to 90, of any gender identity, and with a variety of presenting problems. My previous work has focused on students, residential psychiatric care, substance use and abuse, problematic sexual behavior, clients in crisis, and outpatient care with adolescents and adults.
Your values are the center of all our work together. Each person comes to therapy as an expert on themselves, their experiences, and their goals for growth. I work to honor that unique perspective by spending time getting to know you. Your history, passions, hobbies, interests, beliefs, values, traits, goals, and everything else that makes you who you are come together in a spectacularly distinct style of life. Together, we can use these strengths in the following ways: to review patterns that are not helping you live the life you desire; to challenge symptoms, systems, and situations that are leading to discouragement in your daily life; and to build a toolbox of skills and insights to help you challenge the areas in which you seek change.
I emphasize genuineness in all of my work. I bring whole self to session each day and encourage that you do the same. I love to learn about the important people in your life, your specific hobbies and interests, and anything else that makes you the youest you. I’m involved in several niche interests myself and love finding ways to tie your passions into our work towards wellness. I bring a lot of humor into my work and am comfortable with feedback and openness.
I utilize primarily Adlerian Psychotherapy and techniques from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am an LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapist. I do individual and group therapy and work with adolescents, adults, families, and couples.
“Tell them to look up. Tell them to remember the stars…The stars are always there but we miss them in the dirt and clouds. We miss them in the storms. Tell them to remember hope. We have hope.” – Renee Yohe in If You Feel Too Much By: Jamie Tworkowski

Clinical Trainee
I believe in meeting clients where they are at and providing a nurturing space for them to grow and explore their identities. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, open environment where clients feel comfortable being their true selves and sharing their stories. As a clinician who identifies as queer and neurodivergent, I am particularly committed to fostering an atmosphere grounded in authenticity, empowerment, trust, and empathy.
Understanding that connection and belonging are essential for healing and growth, my approach to therapy is relational and strengths-based, guided by a trauma-informed lens. I integrate mindfulness, art, play, and experiential activities into my practice to support clients on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. By embracing each client’s unique experiences and strengths, I strive to empower them to enhance their overall well-being.
I have several years of training and experience in working with children, adolescents, and young adults through individual, family, and group therapy. My background includes providing care in outpatient and school-based settings, as well as in higher levels of care such as day treatment and residential treatment programs. Additionally, as a clinical psychologist, I have extensive training and experience in conducting comprehensive psychological evaluations with children and adolescents.
Danielle facilitates several groups for adults.
