Danny has spent the majority of the past 4 years working with clients suffering from addiction and dependence on a variety of substances of abuse. Another large group of his clients have been comprised of clients with mental health issues including depression, panic attacks (anxiety), ADHD / ADD, Bipolar Disorder, and much more. He has received praise for the work he has done from Mental Health Professionals, but he states the most significant praise he receives comes from the clients themselves once they experience freedom from the negative thoughts and emotions they have been battling for years, sometimes decades.

When asked about his practices success he states simply that his success is made one client at a time. It maybe this belief in the direct correlation between his client's success and his own that makes each session and each client’s success so important.
