About GameWave Mental Health
Purpose
I am Dan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy to clients in New York and Utah. I specialize in helping teens, young adults, and parents navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
My expertise lies in trauma therapy for teens, young adults, and parents, helping them overcome challenges such as childhood, family, and religious traumas, with a welcoming approach to the LGBTQIA+ community.
Driven by a passion for empowering clients, my therapeutic approach focuses on promoting self-determination, developing deeper insights, enhancing emotional intelligence, improving communication skills, and addressing symptoms of trauma effectively.
My goal is simple: to help you level up to YOU version 2.0 — the person you want to be, allowing you the freedom to define your path to healing and growth.
Philosophy & Approach
I believe everyone is the expert of their own life (even if it doesn't always feel that way), and that treatment is a collaborative process that is most effective when guided by what the person wants, not just what the therapist thinks is best.
I am here to learn about what is going on in your life, your strengths, the challenges you face, your goals and values, with the aim to work WITH you as a teammate to figure out what might be needed to reach those goals you want to achieve.
Using EMDR, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, solutions-focused, and strengths-based methods, I engage my clients as a trauma therapist with a personable, warm, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed approach.
My experience utilizing video games and VR as tools of intervention in therapy allow me to assist clients achieve the change they are looking for in an engaging way. For those who are wanting to work through and move past trauma, I am ready to meet you where you're at and help guide you forward to where you want to be in life.
Insurance & Rates
I offer both self-pay and out-of-network options to help you choose the path that best fits your needs.
My current fee is $175 per session. For clients using out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill—a detailed receipt you submit directly to your insurance company for potential reimbursement based on your plan’s coverage.
While reimbursement varies by insurance provider, many clients appreciate the flexibility, privacy, and ability to choose a therapist who best meets their needs. I’m happy to provide documentation and help you navigate the superbill process along the way.
I also offer a free 15-minute consultation to answer questions and see if we’re a good fit.

I was so excited when I met Dan and learned about his method of using a virtual reality headset for EMDR. I find it much more convenient and easier to stay focused and do the EMDR work. It seems like my therapy has picked up the pace and I’ve seen faster progress since starting this.
