Meet the Team

 

Dana-Jade Small

Welcome! My name is Dana and I am a Mental Health Clinician (Social Worker) with over six years of pre and post graduate experience working in the human services industry in Out of Home Care and in private practice. Most of my experience has been working with individuals and families, and I have a passion for working with youth, young adults, and persons living with chronic illnesses.

I have a Bachelor of Social Work and am currently studying a Master Clinical Aromatherapist Diploma.

I believe that it is important to take a holistic approach to physical and mental health care. As such, I work with individuals and families to look at their current circumstances, stressors, and ability to cope with day-to-day life. I love helping individuals, families and couples to understand how their stress and worries can impact on each other, and how to openly have conversations about the things in their life, and what support they are needing.

I offer a warm, welcoming, and judgement free space for all individuals, and welcome clients from LGBTQIA+ backgrounds. I believe it is important for each person to have a safe space where they are able to support their mental health, growth, and share the hardships that they have been experiencing either at the present, or in the past.
