About Me
Danielle Pace, PsyD
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with advanced training at McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and mentalization-based therapy (MBT). I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, emotion regulation difficulties, relationship and interpersonal challenges, self-esteem concerns, and recurring patterns of coping or behavior.
My approach combines evidence-based behavioral strategies with relational and insight-oriented therapy. I draw from DBT, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), MBT, and psychodynamic therapy to help clients better understand the patterns underlying their difficulties while developing practical skills to respond differently. I aim to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel understood and supported while also being challenged to make meaningful changes in their lives and relationships.
I am licensed in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island and a member of PsyPACT.
My Clinical Approach
Therapy with me is both exploratory and active. We work to understand the emotional, behavioral, and relationship patterns underlying current difficulties while also identifying concrete ways to respond differently.
I draw from DBT, MBT, CBT, RO-DBT and psychodynamic approaches, tailoring treatment to the individual rather than relying on a single model.
