Reclaim Your Body.
Rewrite Your Story.

Compassionate care for those navigating body image, eating disorders, trauma attachment wounds, and relationship struggles with a focus on lasting, embodied healing

You're seeking clarity, self-acceptance, and the strength to live your life authentically and fully.

Whether it's finding peace with your body and eating, healing from trauma, or creating & maintaining fulfilling relationships, you want to reclaim your sense of worth and step into a life that feels truly yours.

Here's what's possible when you choose to do this work...

You're looking for support that goes beyond behavior change—you want healing that acknowledges the emotional, psychological, and even somatic roots of what you're experiencing.
  • Knowing your worth and knowing it isn't tied to appearance, weight, or productivity
  • You stop constantly second-guessing yourself and start trusting your own intuition
  • You create boundaries that protect your peace and your needs without guilt
  • You feel more at home in your body, your relationships, and your life

The common thread is a desire for deeper connection, safety, and understanding.

Hi there, I'm Danielle Widmann

I am founder of Holding Space Mental Health Counseling and am extremely passionate about supporting adults navigating their relationship with food, their bodies, themselves, trauma, or relationships—looking to find clarity, connection & lasting change.

In your therapy at Holding Space, you'll get my compassionate, down-to-earth approach rooted in real conversation, curiosity, and evidence-based tools. Together, we'll work toward creating a life that actually feels good to live, on your terms.

My philosophy is simple:

Healing doesn't mean fixing what's broken—it means making space for all parts of you to be seen, heard, and cared for.

I believe growth happens in the context of a safe, trusting relationship, and that's what I aim to create in every session.
Therapy is deeply personal, and at Holding Space, you'll receive individualized care that's tailored to your unique needs and goals.

If you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or just ready for something different—you're in the right place. You don't have to figure it all out alone.

Many of the people I work with often have a complicated relationship with food, their body or themselves.
