I feel like I'm losing it. I've never felt so close to just not being able to handle anything. I feel like I desperately need to talk to someone but when I try or even think about trying I feel stuck. I'm already guessing the reaction and responses I will get and the disatisfaction I will feel, sending me deeper into my hell. I feel like I'm coming unraveled as I type this. I'm finding myself searching endlessly for someone who I cannot go to anymore. For all the wrong reasons, someone I should leave alone. I feel like I've messed up my life and backed myself into a corner. I know people say it gets better and there's hope and you have to try but I don't want to. I can't stand how I am feeling and it goes away when I smoke but then it comes back with avengance and I can't be high all the time, not that it would help but I can't do this I am freaking out. I need help and I don't know where to go anymore. Maybe there isn't anything anyone can say anymore to make me feel better. Maybe I am just at the end and I need to shit or get off the pot. My life is sad, I hate looking in the mirrior, I feel sorry for myself far too often. I'm longing for everything I'll never have becasue I'll never think I'm good enough for any of it. I'm not who I want to be or anywhere near it. I'd be better off dead then living a life of constant disappointment and failure. I can't take living with myself, inside my head in my body. I want it all to stop. I need the nothingness. I don't want to feel or see or know. It's too hard. I want a game over.

Seeking an alternative to traditional therapy?
That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing). These tools enable me to help clients address most of the problems that licensed mental health professionals do – plus some they can’t. And usually do it more efficiently.
This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.
My sensitive and engaging, direct and practical, style is reported by my clients as one of their attractions to working with me. I work with Children, Adolescents and Adults, addressing ADHD, depression and anxiety, divorce, loss and medical trauma. . I would be honored with your trust in me.

Serving as a catalyst for individual and family recovery and growth is my passion. I work with families because I believe that all individuals and families are inherently resilient and competent.

I contract on a 3 - 6 month basis to assure the time to mitigate the immediate crisis and help the family system gain confidence in its ability to navigate the future together. My work is grounded in evidence-based, best practices of Transitional Family Therapy (TFT) and ARISE Comprehensive Care with Intervention.

I am a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I entered this profession to help individuals in a variety of ways.

Welcome to Williamsburg Youth Counseling, by Dane Wendell, LPC. We are excited to be in Williamsburg and to provide services to the youth in our community, through our private counseling practice. While working with your child/teen, we are able to help them navigate through their emotions and feelings along with teaching them healthy coping mechanisms. We specialize in working with youth dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and the compounding concerns associated with them. Our practice believes that working with youth is drastically different than working with adults. Children and teens do not care about our philosophies, our educational backgrounds, or our theoretical orientations. What they do care about is their ability to relate to our counselors. Our youth today need to feel comfortable, supported, and most importantly, heard. We are able to help your child feel comfortable when starting or continuing their journey in bettering their mental health and overall wellbeing.

I currently work with adolescents, adults, couples and families using a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems therapy, person-centered therapy, and narrative therapy to address client’s needs. I provide support to clients while addressing a variety of topics including depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, and women’s issues.
I appreciate that it can be challenging to find a therapist. I encourage you to shop around, read profiles, visit websites, and have initial sessions with a couple of providers to find someone who you can really talk to and be open with. We all have different styles and vibes and ways of talking and that's a good thing, hopefully we're all well trained as well but I encourage you to inquire if our training and credentials are confusing or not obvious.
In therapy I will be someone who challenges you. I might interrupt you at times if your thinking seems off. I will encourage you to feel and exercise and be honest with yourself and the people you love. Therapy will be challenging. Hopefully you will be thoughtful about the process and interested in making changes. I'm here to help you become the person who you want to be and love the person who you are.
My approach is collaborative with the individual or family, providing therapeutic pathways & education to promote existing strengths & abilities to sustain achieved outcomes long after counseling is completed.
