Meet Our Team
Practice Owner & Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Rose Taveras
I can help you bring quiet to your mind and confidence into your daily life.
When you decide to start your journey with me…
You will have access to the metaphorical “toolbox” that I have FULL of strategies to lessen your anxiety, improve your mood, and create healthy habits. If something we discuss doesn’t work, I have lots of options for us to explore.
You won’t feel pressured to make changes you do not want to. I value your autonomy and my goal is to empower you to live independently. I do this by asking you questions and providing perspective, assisting you in determine what’s working and what’s not working in your life.
You will build a relationship with me that is characterized by no judgement, unconditional support, and a sprinkle of humor. I love what I do and I’m passionate about the help that I offer my clients. I aim to establish a collaborative dynamic that leads to engagement, motivation, and trust throughout each step of the process.
You will have access to an expert that also understands. As someone who has struggled with their own depression and anxiety in the past, not only am I trained in this, but I’ve lived this. I know what it feels like to need a sounding board, a guide, a safe space, and a cheerleader. Whatever issues we are working through, I have your back!
The result… a confident, happy version of you that is thriving in their relationships, work, and passions.
Dr. Danielle Cali
Licensed Psychologist & Certified School Psychologist
My name is Dr. Danielle Cali and I am a licensed clinical psychologist, as well as a certified school psychologist. I specialize in working with children and families with emotional and behavioral concerns. As a therapist, I utilize a collaborative style, initially focusing on building rapport and a positive working relationship. This helps to establish a foundation of trust and creates a safe space for my clients to grow. I will work with clients on recognizing both thought and behavioral patterns that may be impacting their mental health and functioning. In addition, I focus on relational interactions and how these impact overall functioning. Together, we will create personal goals to work towards in therapy and skills and strategies to utilize outside of the therapeutic environment to enhance overall social-emotional well-being.
