Get to know more about Danah
Danah AlGhamdi, MA, MHC-LP is a New York State Mental Health Counselor (Limited Permit) who earned a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from NYU. She has experience working with adults navigating relationship and sexual concerns, emotional challenges, disordered eating, and difficult behavioral patterns. Her background includes work in both inpatient mental health settings and private practice, where she has supported clients through life transitions, trauma, grief, and self-discovery.
What should a new client know about working with you?
For me, therapy is about creating a space where you can truly be yourself—no judgment, no expectations, just understanding. I believe growth happens when we embrace who we are, and I’m here to help you do that. Using a mix of humanistic, multicultural, and evidence-based approaches, I aim to support you in feeling safe, valued, and empowered to explore all aspects of your life.
Process for Working With Clients
My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in creating a space where clients feel safe enough to explore all parts of themselves. I focus on helping clients deepen their emotional awareness and understanding, while also integrating practical tools—such as emotion regulation, belief work, and communication skills—to support meaningful change. I’m active in sessions, offering reflections, insight, and guidance as we work together to understand patterns, process experiences, and build a stronger, more grounded sense of self.
Talking to Danah felt like talking to a familiar friend; as if I've known her half my life. I had no reservations sharing anything that was on my mind, and she was incredibly receptive to it. I've seen therapists via Betterhelp and Cerebral, but I was never truly comfortable talking to any of them; Danah is hands-down the best, and I look forward to our next session.

Working with Dana has been a breath of fresh air. If you’re looking for a therapist who is empathetic, supportive, and genuinely invested in your growth, you’re in the right place. She creates a safe, nonjudgmental space while also challenging you in the ways you need to move forward. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful personal growth.

I came to see Danah because I was dealing with the loss of a loved one. I've been to a couple of therapists before her to address the same issue but no one has held and made space for my grief in the way that Danah has. I have gained so much from our work together and couldn't be more grateful for her

Danah was my first therapist so I didn’t know what to expect. We’ve been working together for a while now and I can’t recommend her enough. I often leave our sessions with connections I would have never made myself. I feel like she really listens and cares.
