Danielle Emina, LPC

Danielle Emina brings a long history in healthcare and counseling to her work, beginning her career as a Medical Assistant in Maryland in 1994 and later relocating to Georgia, where she has lived for the last 20 years. She has practiced across many clinical settings including adult, child, family, OB/GYN, neurology, urgent care, emergent care, dermatology, med/surgery, and mother-and-baby care. Her background also includes teaching medical assisting, coordinating externships for Medical Assistant students, and instructing in secondary education at career colleges and business schools.

Danielle earned a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Georgia State University in 2010 and a master’s degree in Community Counseling from Argosy University in 2013. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia - LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) - and has spent several years working with veterans as a crisis counselor. Early in her counseling career she focused on children and teens in community settings.

She uses a solution-focused approach in regular practice, working in a direct and goal-oriented manner to identify and address specific situations, while remaining willing to adopt other therapeutic methods when a client’s needs call for a different focus. Danielle emphasizes strengthening mental health as a foundation for improvement across work, family, social life, and purpose. Her personal experience as a teen parent - having her first child at 15 and a second at 19 - gives her a first-hand perspective on early life challenges, and she draws on that experience to relate to people from diverse backgrounds.

Danielle is committed to helping people overcome both real and self-imposed obstacles to maximize life fulfillment and functioning in the core areas of life.
