Danielle Pelteir

Dani is a Licensed Master Social Worker and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with 7 years of experience specializing in addictions. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin, and her Master’s degree at the University of Houston. Dani’s experience consists of working with adolescents and adults in both residential and outpatient settings. While in graduate school, she interned with The Daring Way™ where she was trained in shame resilience theory based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, and later became a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator. Developing a better understanding of how shame, vulnerability, empathy, and authenticity impact people’s daily lives and interactions with others has helped her to grow both professionally and personally. She enjoys incorporating these concepts into her practice because she believes it addresses some of the core issues that lead to addiction and other mental health disorders.
