Dr. Danielle Samuel

Welcome! ​I’m Dr. Danielle (She/her/gyal), a licensed marriage and family therapist, assistant professor, scholar, and advocate. â€‹â€‹Whether you're seeking individual therapy, group therapy, or support for your family, my approach is trauma-informed and tailored to help you break cycles, create new ways of healing, and foster more meaningful connections.​​

​

My work is deeply rooted in my Caribbean upbringing and queer identity, which shapes my passion for creating spaces that are inclusive, healing, and empowering. I am passionate about working with survivors of sexual trauma, Black women, and those navigating issues around attachment, intergenerational trauma, family, work, and dating. My goal is to provide a therapeutic space that feels safe enough for you to take risks toward growth while being collaborative, affirming, and reparative.

​

In addition to therapy, I provide professional and personal development workshops, speaking engagements, mentorship and media consultation. I am also the President of the Los Angeles Bi+ Task Force, a non-profit organization helping to amplify the voices of the bi+ community through education, advocacy, and cultural enrichment events.

​

When I’m not working, you can find me painting, dancing, or spending quality time with my family. I believe in finding joy and liberation through rest, healing, loving, learning, and connecting—and I’m honored to help guide you on your journey.
