Danielle Yorko (she/her), AMFT, APCC

I specialize in working with couples navigating big life transformations—whether it’s becoming new parents, grieving the loss of a parent, recovering from infidelity, or striving to improve communication and deepen intimacy. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where partners can better understand themselves and each other, strengthen their connection, and build healthier relationship patterns.

My approach is collaborative, relational, and client-centered. I help clients explore the parts of themselves and their relationships that may have been unacknowledged or unspoken, while also offering practical tools to support healing and growth. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment, somatic, and Internal Family Systems/parts work perspectives, and I am also trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Relational Life Therapy, both of which are powerful frameworks for couples seeking meaningful and lasting change.

In addition to my couples work, I support adult individuals through challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, emotional regulation, neurodivergence, and women’s health struggles. My trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approach ensures that clients of all identities and backgrounds feel seen, respected and liberated from their individual experiences of marginalization.

Before becoming a therapist, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Human Motivation and Self-Transformation from New York University and completed an executive coaching certification program from the Co-Active Training Institute, specializing in co-founder and business leader relationship coaching. I later received my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from The Wright Institute and am currently a registered associate psychotherapist, focusing primarily on couples and non-romantic partners (e.g. co-founders/business partners, parent/adult children, adult siblings, etc).

In addition to my clinical education, I am trained in Vedic meditation and mindfulness, which deeply informs my lens as a therapist. Outside of my work, I find joy in spending time with my husband, daughter, and our big fluffy dog, Sequoia. I feel most at home outdoors—whether hiking, surfing, or biking—and experiencing as much live music as possible.
