Dan Kujawinski, LICSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Works with Individuals, Teletherapy, and Youth & Children

My approach to counseling

I follow a strengths-based, client-centered approach that seeks to walk along and support your life journey. In the therapeutic space, I act as a reflective lens to build insight by helping to make connections between present and past issues and experiences. I will work with you to identify, understand, and possibly change coping mechanisms and patterns as they exist in your environment.
I have experience working with a number of therapeutic styles (CBT, mindfulness, and others), which allows me to discuss with you options for ways that we can work together.

I have experience in working with

Adults and Adolescents (not serving children)
Patients new to therapy
Skill-building for managing stress, anxiety, and depression
Processing around loss and grief
Working through transitions and implementing changes
Exploration of addiction and coping mechanisms
Supportive therapy around Trauma

Make an Appointment

Samaritan Center uses an Electronic Health Records (EHR) system developed by Valant for client intake and subsequent health records management. To set up your account and schedule your appointment, follow these steps, as directed by your therapist and prompted by Valant:

1. To begin the process, first contact the therapist by email or phone (listed on this page above) to schedule an initial conversation about fit.
2. When prompted by an email from Valant, set up your patient portal account using a validation code provided by your therapist.
3. Fill out your demographic/insurance information in Valant. Let your therapist know when this is complete.
4. When prompted by an email from Valant, complete our eSignature intake packet.

NOTE: All the above steps must be completed before your first session with your therapist.
