Welcome!

My name is Dany Sojourner, and I am a Marriage & Family Therapist Trainee with specialized education & training in Expressive Arts Therapy. I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies, as well as a post-graduate Registered Expressive Arts Therapist certification.

I offer weekly individual, couple, and family sessions for ages 4+. Services are available in-person in my North Oakland office or virtually throughout California.

It’s easy to fall out of touch with the things that matter to us in a fast-paced and overwhelming world. You may be moving through life feeling permanently overburdened, stressed, exhausted, traumatized, and disconnected from yourself and the world around you. There’s a better life out there that you haven’t yet lived, and my aim is to help you find it.

As a lifelong multidisciplinary artist, I intimately know the healing power of our creative voice. Your own voice already carries with you all of your stories, your laughter, your tears, your desires, and your hopes and dreams. Through thoughtful integration of Psychodynamic, Narrative, Existential, and Emotionally-Focused talk therapy, we will work together to uncover your life’s hidden gems to resource yourself with strengths and supports. I provide a vast range of expressive and somatic tools to help you reconnect with your bodily autonomy, and embody your authentic self with confidence and courage.

I most frequently work with relationship difficulties, self esteem issues, and identity challenges. I am especially passionate about creating an empowering space for those who are LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, chronically ill/disabled, and with multilayered cultural identities. My previous professional experience coordinating intensive outpatient programs for adolescents and young adults offers a unique perspective on the issues younger generations face today.

If you feel called to explore your path with curiosity and compassion, I invite you to reach out. Let’s connect and see how we might work together to support your journey toward greater alignment and healing.
