About Dana
Dana Nassau (she/her)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #150442
I am a lifelong learner and am always in the process of growth and discovery. Before becoming a therapist, I supported couples through childbirth and the postpartum adjustment for 15 years. As a doula, I trained under Pam England to support healing from birth trauma. Working with these clients helped me discover a passion for supporting emotional healing and started me on my journey to becoming a therapist. This is my life's calling.
​
I view myself as a guide to support your healing journey. While I incorporate a variety of modalities and techniques in my work, at the core I am depth oriented and seek to increase conscious awareness of the inner life, no matter what problems bring you into therapy.
​
I am inclusive, affirming, and committed to cultural humility. I see clients in person in Los Angeles, near The Grove and via telehealth throughout California.

To be ourselves causes us to be exiled by many others, and yet to comply with what others want causes us to be exiled to ourselves.
