Transformational Counseling is a creative style of counseling which integrates traditional psychotherapy with holistic body-centered techniques to provide a holistic approach to addressing mental health concerns.
Dylan’s approach is individualized to the needs of the client and their family. As a nurse with experience in the areas of long-term care and rehabilitation medicine and as a fitness instructor who has worked with clients of all ages and physical abilities, Dylan is highly sensitive to the needs of seniors, those with chronic illness and pain management issues. As needed she will meet with seniors and those recovering from illness in their homes and treatment settings as well as in her office in Bushnell’s Basin.
