About Danny El Hassan

My name is Danny El Hassan (M.Ed., M.A.), and I am an LMHC in New York State. I use an integrative approach to treatment including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, existential, and multicultural approaches to help adults and older adults with a variety of issues including anxiety and depression. I also have clinical knowledge of abnormal psychology, mood disturbances, and self harming behavior. I take a strength based approach to the work, and I work with patients for short-term therapy and for longer-term therapy. I focus on unconscious factors to help patients increase self-awareness and insight.

I have experience working with older adults, and I have been published as an author in the Journal of Homosexuality for my contributions to a project on the experiences of LGBT elders. I also have experience researching micro-aggressions experienced by people with disabilities. I have previously worked in Tele-Health and as a phone counselor, including with individuals in crisis. I have found that there are numerous benefits to Tele-Health for patients, including accessibility and convenience.

“excellent therapist and very empathetic too”

“He is really personable and accurate in his understanding of my issues”

“I’m very confident in Danny’s expertise as a therapist. He shows care, compassion and understanding.”

“Danny is a very active listener and interjects only when he has somthing profound to contribute. When he does you know he has been processing what issues or challengers you are raising and this helps me to find a way to resolve them. I am grateful for his help as an advocate.”

“Danny has been super helpful throughout these past months as I have been working on some major issues that have been affecting me. I always plan to look forward to sessions with him because I feel like I am able to open up sincerely and in a very genuine way. He listens to what I say when I am giving him updates and then he asks me questions and challenges my thought process. It has been very natural to I talk to him and I am appreciative of every session.”

“Danny’s open-mindedness, patience and compassion has helped me through what one could call a very challenging and transformative period in my life. I like that he challenges me to think differently about my problems and doesn’t shy away from what can be very difficult topics. Plus, sometimes I get to say hi to his dog!”

“Danny is very responsive and a keen listener.”

“Danny has been a very positive influence in my life.<br /> <br /> His patience, care and attention did not go unnoticed. Danny is fantastic listener & asks pertinent questions that guided me to my own realizations. Plus he's a cool guy. <br /> <br /> 5 stars!”

“Really understanding of my situation, guides me in a way which makes me get along with my issues and not criticize myself.”

“Danny has been an empathetic and helpful voice in my life. I was skeptical, initially, of using a web-based approach to therapy, but it has been a convenient and useful tool to help overcome some issues I’ve been dealing with recently and I plan on continuing.”

“Danny is patient, thoughtful and is an excellent listener. He has shared various ways to deal with anxiety and stress.”

“Danny was very helpful to me! Helped me with tools for stress and anxiety management!”

“I had a great time with Danny - a lot of realizations and professing difficult times and emotions. I enjoyed the theoretical approach Danny used and the way we were able to navigate many concepts.”

“Really helping me unpacking what I need help with and to discover things that can be triggering things in my life. Really appreciate his help a lot”

“Therapy has been such a healing process and a huge part of that is having a therapist that respects you and genuinely cares about your well being. I feel very grateful to have access to that.”
