Danny Wilcox, Telehealth Clinician, is focused on elevating needs, wants, and desires, while helping to equip clients with the tools to remove any barriers to these worthy destinations. Combating systemic, institutional, and individual racism in everyday life can be exhausting, isolating, frustrating, and stressful. Professional environments often act as silos of misunderstanding, micro-aggression, and veiled discrimination. I provide non-judgemental support so that clients can fully enjoy their journey on the path to happiness. Through honest collaboration and a variety of modalities, we can walk the path towards personal freedom together.
