I’m Dana M. Popa, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (I am licensed in the State of Washington / LH 61436104). I attended The Seattle School of Theology, MACP program and I started to counsel clients in 2019, in the Outpatient Clinic of Fairfax Hospital. Since 2020 I’ve been working with adults and adolescents as a psychotherapist in a private clinic, focusing on issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, identity, and body issues. Beyond continuing education, I’m actively taking classes with the local psychoanalytic communities such as the Northwest Alliance for Psychoanalytic Study, Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society & Institute, and the Center for Object Relations. 

My previous professional background is in Business, I graduated in 1996 from the Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies with a concentration in Marketing and I had a career in Sales and Marketing at Xerox, followed by a transition into financial advising at Edward Jones in Toronto, Canada.
