How DanSun Health can Help
Counselling can be an effective treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Through therapy, individuals can learn coping mechanisms to manage symptoms such as flashbacks, anxiety, and depression. Counselling can also provide a safe space for individuals to process their trauma and work towards healing and improving relationships. Daniel is a certified clinical trauma specialist in trauma and addiction with Trauma Institute International. He also holds specialized certifications in couples therapy and ketogenic diets for mental health.
Having lived experience within emergency services puts Daniel in a unique position of empathetic understanding. There's no need to explain the "work lingo" as he's lived it himself. Through authenticity, integrity, and value identification, Daniel helps first responders reveal their true selves among the traumatic parts that have developed to achieve abundance and self-actualization.
My name is Daniel Sundahl
I am a retired paramedic/firefighter and worked as an emergency worker for over twenty years. I am passionate about helping first responders navigate their profession's unique stressors. I specialize in treating trauma, substance abuse and family counselling associated with trauma. As a PTSD' thriver' myself, I can assist my clients in navigating toward a happier and healthier life.
I am a registered Counselling Therapist with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association, and I have specialized training in complex trauma, couple's therapy and implementing ketogenic diets for mental health. It can be challenging to find the right therapist who understands emergency services' complexities and can "talk the lingo." Understanding, validating and supporting are the pillars of my practice. I will incorporate different therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and ketogenic diets for enhancing metabolism for optimizing mental health. Depression, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, suicidal ideation and interpersonal relationships are a few of the issues I can provide support for.
I understand how challenging it can be when deciding to seek help. My approach is supportive and practical. Contact me for a free phone consultation to see if I'm a good fit to help you get back on track.
