TEENS
Is your teen resistant to therapy? I am your girl! Through building rapport with your teen, I am able to help them uncover what is underneath undesirable behavior, frequent mood swings, and relational conflict. I love to work with teens on identity development, values work, interpersonal effectiveness, assertiveness training, and how to belong to themselves before belonging to others. I work with tweens/teens middle school and up!
The issues I address and work through alongside teens are: emotional regulation, anxiety, perfectionism, depression, self harm, self esteem, identity development, spirituality development + growth, relational conflict, and communication skills.
PARENT COACHING
Sometimes we need someone cheering us on in the frontline duties of parenting. It is true that nobody wrote a handbook on parenting. Luckily, there is a lot of relevant research out there that may help you and your family.
I am trained in the Nurtured Heart Approach and love the chance to work alongside parents to find a parenting method that works for them and their child(ren). I am a believer that authentic connection fuels relationships so I will be committed to helping you find a healthy and happy connection with your child(ren) that will be long lasting. This therapy modality is best for parents needing support with children aged 10 and under.

What People Are Saying
“Mariah went above and beyond. She provded family mission statement kits for everyone involved and provided a really insightful activity on how to identify values within our family. I have members of our congretation still comment on how they utilize the skills given with their families.”
— Rafael (rabbi)
“Ms. Dantzler’s presentation helped families to assist their children with overcoming hurdles and obstacles, while still maintaining and acknowledging self-worth. The practices helped to build children’s confidence, increase problem solving and intrinsic motivation, and feel worthy of love and acceptance in their lives. Please do not hesitate to engage Ms. Dantzler in your next speaking engagement.”
— Michelle (vice principal)
“Not only were hard topics addressed, they were addressed with allowing both parties to see both sides and leave with skills and a better understanding of one another. My 16-year-old who rolls her eyes at me on a daily basis asked, ‘Do you think we can do that again?’”
