About Me

Hello! My name is Dan Meier and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington (License # LH61231889). Born and raised in the Midwest, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2014 from Taylor University, a small liberal arts college in northern Indiana. After obtaining my BA, I moved to Seattle in order to attend The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology. In 2017, I received my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and spent the next year teaching at The Seattle School and counseling adopted children and adolescents at a non-profit agency. My work at the school focused on teaching future counselors how to interact with transference and countertransference within therapeutic relationships, develop their own self-awareness, and strengthen their abilities to both recognize and respond appropriately to key moments within counseling relationships.

I see counseling as a collaborative relationship between counselor and client, where we work together to understand the ways in which your personal story is impacting your current ability to thrive. I’m deeply passionate about my counseling work and love getting to walk alongside people as they delve into their stories and rediscover their inherent ability to bring about meaningful change. In my own personal experiences with therapy, I have seen how relationships and self-understanding open the door to a deeper, more integrated life.

When I’m not working in my private practice, I love spending time with my wife and dog, taking long walks around my neighborhood, reading science fiction and fantasy novels, playing video games, drinking good cups of coffee, and exploring the Pacific Northwest. If you are interested in learning more about counseling or discovering if you and I are a good fit, you can reach out to me here. I look forward to connecting with you!
