Hello!
My name is Dana Oatis, and I have worked in the behavioral health field for over 25 years. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington State. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Social Work. My experience in behavioral health has allowed me the opportunity to work with a variety of individuals, from children to adults, who have struggled with depression, anxiety, and trauma to name just a few. Additionally, I have a Master's Degree in Business Administration and have experience in leadership and helping others address the strains and stress that come with career development as well.
I know that there can be a lot of uncertainty when reaching out for help and support. My aim is to help you in this process by offering an open, judgment free space for us to identify goals and work towards achieving those goals together. I firmly believe that the path of wellness is not one of a straight line, rather of twists and turns, and I would like to support you by walking alongside you on this path. Thank you for taking this first step in improving your emotional well-being. I look forward to helping you.
