Meet Dani
I'm so glad you're here...
Drawing from a rich background as a therapist, attorney, and a former Supreme Court of Virginia Certified Mediator for Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, my approach to therapy centers on empathy, warmth, and trust cultivated through years of experience working with people during some of the most stressful periods of their lives. I have a Juris Doctorate from George Mason University School of Law, where I completed a two-year competitive clerkship working on high-profile death penalty cases. I also hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Mason University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude and specialized in strengths-based, depathologized treatment of trauma.
I have previous experience as a Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Counselor through Fairfax County Domestic and Sexual Violence Services and completed a rigorous intern therapist training program at Falls Church Wellness Center in Falls Church Virginia under several of the area’s leading specialists in trauma-informed care. As a dually licensed Resident in Counseling and an attorney, and the child of a veteran and a first responder, I take confidentiality seriously. I am comfortable navigating the delicate balance between serving individuals and families who must balance seeking help with maintaining security clearances. Outside of therapy, you can find me surrounded by my family, animals and books, out hiking, or volunteering time as a Certified Ax and Knife Throwing Instructor for Girl Scouts of America. I am an avid athlete and equestrian, skier, Cross-Fitter, and currently working towards my Second Degree Blackbelt in Taekwondo.
At the core of my practice lies a deep reverence for the intricate dance between neurobiology and human connection, rooted in the belief that we, as humans, are wired to move toward healing. I am passionate about nurturing an environment of warmth and safety where your healing journey can unfold naturally. I cannot change what happened to you, but I will partner with you to ease the burden of navigating life’s complexities alone and help you tap into the reservoir of resilience and wisdom already within you.
Danielle C. Fein, J.D., M.Ed. is a Licensed Resident in Counseling supervised by Shannon Graves, LPC [Lic. No. 0701011012 – Ph. 703-829-6418- 520 N. Washington Street Suite 100 in Falls Church, Virginia 22046]
Our Approach
Compassion
Warmth
Connection
Whether you are new to therapy or just new to me, seeking help can be overwhelming. Life does not always unfold as neatly as we expect, and taking the leap to reach out is incredibly brave. Good therapy should feel like you have reached a refuge of safety to reflect, heal, and grow into your best self without judgment. I offer warmth, compassion, and non-judgmental kindness from the first consultation call to the moment you decide you’re ready for our time together to end.
You deserve a place to feel more empowered, affirmed, and supported in your daily life, especially when life feels chaotic or painful. Therapy is a space where we can unpack and embrace the messiness of life and learn to thrive in spite of obstacles. We will make space for laughter alongside tears, carve out time to celebrate wins while still grieving losses, and uncover glimmers of hope hiding in the shadows. Though expertise grounds my work, being a down-to-earth human is how I show up.
My practice is focused on supporting teens and adults in cultivating resilience, peace, joy, and connection in a busy world. I provide a space that encourages curiosity in understanding and addressing anxiety, depression, and trauma. Breaking cycles of using perfectionism, overwork, or disordered eating to numb or cope is not something you need to conquer alone.
I am experienced in providing services both through telehealth and in-person, and I encourage people to choose whatever way is most convenient to make therapy a consistent part of their life.
Commitment to Advanced Level Care
I am a curious and passionate lifelong learner committed to advanced-level, post-graduate training to continually bring the best evidence-based therapeutic modalities to my practice including EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Therapy and Internal Family Systems. I am EMDRIA-trained to provide EMDR for evidenced-based, neuro-informed healing to target distressing beliefs, memories, and symptoms to gain lasting relief.
I have advanced training in Perinatal & Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders and Perinatal Grief & Loss. I specialize in supporting women & families experiencing Pregnancy Loss, Multiple Miscarriages, and Infertility.
I work with several of the area’s leading Registered Dietitians to provide collaborative therapeutic care and specialized EMDR for those experiencing disordered eating, exercise dependency, and body image concerns including supporting athletes who wish to explore a more balanced approach to optimize or transition their performance levels.
I am Gottman Institute trained to provide Gottman Method Couples Therapy and am comfortable working with high-conflict individuals, families, and couples to bring more harmony to their relationships. Additionally, I am certified to provide evidence-based Mindful Resilience for Trauma Recovery through The Veterans Yoga Project.
I have extensive training in LGBTQIA+ affirming care and am committed to providing culturally sensitive therapy. My office is a trauma-informed safe space for all people to show up as their most authentic self.
Walk-and-Talk
Nature Therapy can be a beautiful part of the healing journey. For those who wish to experience therapy outside of the office, I offer Walk-and-Talk Therapy on a paved nature trail lakeside in the woods.
My Hike-&-Heal and Reel-&-Heal (Fishing) Therapy Intensives are popular nature therapy retreats for Teens, Couples, & Individuals wanting targeted time to focus on specific issues over the span of two to three hours. Please be mindful: these book up well in advance, are limited in availability, and only offered seasonally.

Insurance
Please note: Due to my commitment to client confidentiality and clinical autonomy, I have decided to remain an “Out-of-Network Provider”. My services qualify for reimbursement for most insurance plans. You will receive a “superbill” for you to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Many insurance plans reimburse up to 80-90% of fees, making my sessions the same price as a copay. Please contact your insurance provider to see if this option is available to you. Many people choose to use the Reimbursify or Mentaya app to simplify this process.
