Dana Palmquist, MS, LPC

Dana is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Prior to joining the counseling field as a second career, Dana taught for twenty-five years and retired to obtain her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from Walden University.
Her experience as an educator has helped inform her practice in counseling. While teaching, Dana provided family law mediation and home investigations for Bexar and surrounding counties where she was able to meet with divorcing families and assist them with their co-parenting needs. This work allowed Dana to acquire many years of experience working with children and families. Additionally, as an educator, Dana realized that she could not teach all children the same way and must adapt according to each child’s needs and learning style, which occurred each new school year over her 25 years of teaching. Therefore, Dana approaches counseling similarly, using several modalities and techniques to help clients reach their goals, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.
Dana works with children (ages 8 & older), adolescents, young adults, families, and adults with various relational, emotional, behavioral, and mental health concerns. She specializes in depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, PTSD, and substance use disorders. Dana also provides faith-based, Christian counseling for those seeking spiritual integration in their counseling.
