About Therapy
Admit defeat.
You are not a superhero. You cannot conquer all.
The impossible standards you have for yourself repeatedly set you up for failure.
“Can you do anything right?” your brain asks whenever perfection isn’t reached.
The right step has already been taken! You’re here.
Take it from a recovering perfectionist: trying to control everything is exhausting!
It’s time to transmute that exhaustion into a driving force for your therapeutic journey.
Can you imagine a world in which you are proud to be in therapy, a world in which you feel the progress you’re making?
Its beautiful ripple is trickling into all areas of your life. Family and friends have noticed a change in you.
Sitting in session feels like talking to a friend.
It’s not stuffy or buttoned up neat. There is room for messiness.
Saying thoughts exactly as they play in your head is a welcome occurrence. No filter needed.
Each session means unlocking a new part of you that pushes you one step closer to your full potential.
As your journey continues, new topics are emerging that you never thought you’d be able to tackle.
This is what you have been hoping for!
Confidence grows, and you yearn to learn more about yourself.
The feeling of accomplishment and contentment has now outweighed the fear and overwhelm that once ruled your life.
You are discovering new methods of facing challenges head-on. The zest for life you once knew has begun to return.
About Danielle Yourgules, LICSW
My Background
I went to school for Clinical Social Work, but I always imagined myself working out in the community.
I fulfilled that dream for four years; yet, somehow, I always found myself back in my office chatting with a client.
That’s why I say therapy picked me.
I made the switch from community mental health to private practice and never looked back!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Alabama and Georgia.
I graduated from Samford University in 2018 and have been doing individual and family therapy ever since!
Family Life
My husband, Nick, and I have been together for eight years. I feel so blessed to have a partner that loves to cook because your girl here does not find pleasure in it.
The kids (that are still under our roof) keep us very active outdoors and at home.
We keep telling the little stinkers to get jobs, but apparently, putting a two-year-old and one-year-old to work is frowned upon in most states. We love our little life and all the poop talk that comes with it (hello, potty training).
If you find yourself in the weeds of parenthood, know you’re not alone. We are also sneaking sweet treats to each other when the children aren’t looking.
