Meet Danielle Landa

Couples therapy, trauma informed.

Relationships are my passion. I have spent my career studying under relationship experts to learn which approach yields the best results in therapy. While the relationship with your therapist remains the top priority, I believe that taking a developmental approach to couples and individual work is key to achieving transformative results. This approach interrupts the pathological perspective that either person is inherently bad or flawed and provides hope as we discover each person’s developmental edges. (where they get stuck). With support, you will be encouraged to stretch beyond those stuck places as you learn more about yourself, your partner, and the relationship you are co-creating.

I am a married mother of four, and I understand the gifts and challenges of marriage and parenting kids of all ages, and I have applied my therapy approach to my own marriage and have seen firsthand the benefits. I would love to help you maximize your relationships and bring peace and harmony to your home.

Expert therapy in Wayata, MN. Increase connection, build trust.

Imagine feeling seen and secure in your relationship again. No more walking on eggshells or being stuck in the same fight, just the steady sense that you and your partner are truly on the same team. Together, we’ll help you break free from the Trigger Loop, that cycle of hurt and protection that’s been running the show. You’ll begin to recognize when old pain gets activated and learn to settle your nervous system, express your emotions, and reach for your partner instead of reacting or withdrawing. You’ll start to feel the difference: conversations that used to spiral now lead to understanding. Moments that once created distance now bring you closer. The tension softens. The laughter returns.

I’m Glad You are Here.
