Danielle Maveal
Accepting new clientsAbout Danielle
I work with individuals (teens and adults) and couples, primarily those who are neurodivergent, as well as couples navigating the complexities of neurodiverse, queer, trans, and other marginalized relationships. Many of my clients have spent years feeling misunderstood, masking parts of themselves, or trying to fit into systems and relationship structures that weren't built with them in mind. Therapy can be a place to better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and build a life that feels more authentic, connected, and sustainable.
People describe my presence as warm, thoughtful, and comforting. I’m also direct and welcome your toughest questions. Across both individual and couples work, I offer a space that is collaborative, affirming, and gently challenging, where you can feel met, make sense of what’s happening, and move toward something more sustainable. Healing can be heavy at times, but it can also feel creative, alive, even joyful, and I believe therapy can hold all of it.
My work centers the wisdom of emotions. Our emotions can help us understand our values, needs, boundaries, and where we need attention and care. I also believe attachment, or how we are and were known and loved, shapes how we experience connection, conflict, safety, and belonging throughout our lives.
My practice centers people in marginalized bodies and identities, including those who are fat, queer, trans, non-binary, or neurodivergent, and those navigating the pressure of living in systems that often misread or pathologize them.
