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.

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. During the therapeutic process, Dana will work with clients to establish mutually agreed upon goals and together they will develop a plan to achieve those goals.
