My name is Jennifer Danhauser. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) as provided by the State of Alaska Board of Professional Counselors, which has been maintained since January 12, 2004. I am also a National Counselor Certified (NCC) as provided by the National Board for Certified Counselors, which has been maintained since August 15, 2001. I have my M.S. in Counseling Educational and Developmental Psychology, having graduated from Eastern Washington University. I have been a member of the American Counseling Association in good standing since January 1, 2000. My business is Jennifer Danhauser, LPC, LLC and address is 565 University Avenue, Suite #4, Fairbanks, Alaska, 99709. My business phone number is (907) 978-4978.
My training is focused in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PET) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). DBT uses a strong Cognitive Behavioral approach along with mindfulness, which offers a compassionate and scientifically sound treatment for those who have struggled to reach or maintain a life worth living. PET and EMDR are both treatment approaches focused specifically for trauma including Posttraumatic Stress.
I bring my dedication and experience into each session. My therapy process involves genuineness, respect, warmth, acceptance and empathy. I will help you gain a clear understanding of the process of change and empower you to make effective changes to accomplish your goals. Validation of your experiences and recognizing when acceptance is needed will also be part of the process.
Most of my private practice experience is with adults both in individual and group settings.Working with teens is on a case by case basis. I work Monday through Friday with varioushours between 9am and 7:30pm. Of note, the 5-7:30pm hours are reserved for DBT skills group training.
