Hello! My name is Daniel Kanter (pronounced Dah-knee-el), and I am a final year candidate at Loyola University's Master's in Social Work Program. Social Work is an important field to me because it provides a lens to examine all the variables that compose our identities, as a means of understanding our internal and external worlds. If you are struggling with big questions surrounding purpose, reactivity, anxiety, depression, and identity, you have come to the right place.

I use psychodynamic principles and my empathic nature to cultivate a true sense of who is sitting across from me. As a mental health professional, my aim is to collaborate with my clients to help them understand themselves and the world we live in, set and achieve their goals, and bridge the gap between where they are and where they are going. I also recognize the power in principles that compose Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which can be instrumental in taking actionable steps beyond synthesizing our internal and external environments.
