About Me

Danielle Japenga

LCSW

Hi there, my name is Danielle Japenga and I am the founder of Mind Empowerment.

For over 10 years, I have worked in community and private mental health, serving adolescents and adults from many cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Throughout my journey, I have witnessed the profound impact that compassionate, non-judgmental support can have on an individual's mental well-being.

At Mind Empowerment, we believe that YOU are in charge of your treatment, and together, we will develop new skills to navigate life's rough terrain. Our approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, providing a safe space where you can express yourself freely without fear of judgment. We celebrate each individual's unique story and are committed to helping you find your path to resilience and strength. Let's embark on this journey together, embracing every challenge as an opportunity for growth and empowerment.

In The Spotlight

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is the union between cutting-edge research and experienced clinical care.

The core tenets of CBT are that psychological distress is due in part to 1) unhelpful thoughts and, 2) unhelpful behaviors. At Mind Empowerment, we work with you to recognize, understand, and replace these thoughts and behaviors with more positive ones.

  • Personalized to you

  • Backed by the latest research

  • Effective alternative to psychiatric medication

Highly Requested

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an innovative approach to therapy that seeks to rapidly relieve symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression.

ART combines traditional modes of therapy with eye movements, which have been shown to reduce inhibition while traumatic memories are recalled—accelerating the therapeutic process. Because of the shorter timeline, many clients find ART to be less overwhelming than other modes of therapy.

  • Cutting edge approach

  • Anxiety is reduced by eye movements

  • Can be effective in a single session

Hear from some of our clients

  • I could tell Danielle was going to be a great fit for me right away. Her attention to detail and thoroughness was evident by the depth of her assessment questions. She is a great listener while offering perspective counsel.

  • Danielle has quite literally and figuratively saved my life. When I was in my darkest moments, she was able to provide compassionate and empathetic care. She has helped me through childhood trauma/abuse, marital affair, and therapy for anxiety and depression. Through ART therapy, I am able to finally breathe again. Danielle is truly an Angel.

  • Since I began this therapy it has helped reshape my self confidence and my self image by addressing and overcoming my past traumas.

  • When I went to Danielle I was suffering from severe depression and anxiety. After a year with Danielle my symptoms improved drastically and I was way happier than ever. I didn't think I would ever improve but they did. Being happy is possible, don't give up. [Adolescent client]
