Working with Dana has been genuinely life-changing. She is deeply compassionate and intuitive, but she also challenges me in the ways that create real, lasting growth. Through our work, I have learned to trust myself again, set boundaries from strength rather than fear, and care deeply for myself and others through creating healthy relationships. She has helped me navigate healing, motherhood, relationships, leadership, and the process of finding myself again after a painful marriage. I feel more grounded, discerning, and at home in my own life, not because she tells me what I want to hear, but because she helps me to think differently and integrate that into my daily life. She has an extraordinary ability to make me feel completely safe and supported while still challenging me to grow. I can genuinely feel how invested Dana is in my healing and well-being, and that is priceless. I cannot overstate the impact she has had on my life.

About
Dana L. McDowell, MA, LPC, CEDS has been practicing since 2006 at the intersection of somatic awareness, depth psychology, and clinical psychotherapy. She holds a Master's in Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa University and is a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS). Her practice centers on three modalities: Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (in partnership with licensed medical teams), Hakomi somatic psychotherapy, and psychedelic integration. She brings clinical rigor, first-hand familiarity with non-ordinary states of consciousness, and a body-centered approach to all three. Dana works with adults navigating treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, eating disorders, and the kind of plateau that comes when conventional therapy has taken you as far as it can. She sees clients in person in Arvada and Denver, and via telehealth where appropriate.
