Introduction

Danesha Simmons, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and founder of Dream Identity Counseling, located in the State of Florida. Her passion is to serve Healthcare workers, minorities, the youth of our community and their families as they learn how to break generational cycles, remove unhealthy norms, and take advantage of the resources and support that can be given to us in efforts to follow our dreams despite our past and current experiences. "Dream Identity" means the ability to be your authentic self, internally and externally. Guided by her purpose of empowerment, she encourages others to identify their personal strengths and attributes that are unique to creating their authentic selves and work towards overcoming life challenges through integrative approaches such as creative art therapy techniques, psycho-education and talk therapy to help you cultivate your "Dream Identity." “We know what we are, but not what we may be.” - William Shakespeare
