I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 25 years of psychotherapy experience. I work with adults who want to understand themselves more deeply and make changes in their relationships, work, and everyday lives.
Dana Fox, LPC
A person to think with
Careful listening. An active conversation.
You may be managing a great deal while finding it hard to say what you need. Perhaps you understand a pattern intellectually, but still find yourself repeating it. I want to hear how you experience these moments, what you’ve tried, and what you hope could change.
I listen closely and take an active part in our work. I ask questions, offer feedback and alternative perspectives, and help you think through what to do with what we discover. We might prepare for a difficult conversation, consider a decision, or identify something new to try. There is room to disagree and tell me when something doesn’t fit.
My values include confidentiality, creativity, compassion, and acceptance. I bring those values to the way we work together.
My background and approach
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado, with more than 25 years of psychotherapy experience. My background includes graduate study in expressive therapy and postgraduate training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
M.A., Art Therapy & Mental Health Counseling, Lesley University — 1999
Certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Oregon Psychoanalytic Center — 2011
Our focus is on what you’re facing in the present. We explore earlier experiences when they help us understand a current difficulty or find another way forward. Your history can inform our work without becoming the focus of every session.
My expressive therapy background also informs my attention to how people communicate experience, including what can be difficult to explain in words.
Who I work with
I work with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, and questions about work or direction. You may also describe a pattern that gets in your way as self-sabotage. You may be used to keeping the peace, meeting others’ expectations, or carrying responsibility while feeling uncertain about your own wishes.
You don’t need a diagnosis or a fully formed goal to reach out. We can begin by understanding what feels difficult and what you would like help with.
Outside my clinical work, I develop creative projects, including LifeAcre. Building something of my own has given me another perspective on the uncertainty, visibility, and choices that can come with pursuing meaningful work.
LifeAcre’s reflective and educational resources are separate from psychotherapy. In our sessions, your concerns and goals guide the conversation.
What working together can look like.
What happens in the first conversation?
The free 15-minute consultation is a chance to discuss what brings you here, ask about my approach, and consider whether we might be a good fit. You can choose a time through my online practice portal.
Will we focus on the past or what is happening now?
We focus on what is happening in your life now. We bring in the past when it helps us understand or work through a present concern. You don’t need to arrive with a complete account of your history, and we don’t need to revisit it in every session.
Do you offer feedback, or mostly listen?
I listen carefully and participate actively. I offer questions, feedback, and other perspectives, and we think through possible next steps together. My aim is for you to leave with something useful: a clearer understanding, a different perspective, or something new to try. We’ll also talk about what is and isn’t helping.
How often do we meet, and how long does therapy last?
Sessions are 50 minutes and typically take place weekly. The length of therapy depends on your concerns, goals, and how the work develops. We can discuss what is useful and revisit that conversation as we go.
Can I work with you online?
I offer telehealth across Colorado and in-person sessions by request in Denver, at 50 S Steele St., Suite 950. I’m currently accepting new clients.
