Licensed Professional Counselors
Daniel Lavelle
Owner/Licensed Professional Counselor
As a licensed therapist I bring in a fresh outlook on the human psyche and soul-functioning in today’s world.
I offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with an organization called Journey Clinical.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. I take on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while Journey Clinical’s medical team supports you on all medical aspects. This includes determining eligibility, developing a custom treatment plan, prescribing the medicine and monitoring outcomes.
My honest, accurate, and updated view about human functioning was acknowledged by my Master’s Counseling program at Johns Hopkins University which caused them to rank me as one of the top Honors students in my cohort for my counseling degree.
Having a wealth of knowledge-from-participation in this life, I truly understand the sacredness and life-saving benefits of the counseling experience.
