"Daniel is very understanding and a great listener. He is also very experienced and knowledgeable in his field. He is very genuine in his approaches and knows how to make the most of each session. I went in without any expectations, but after my first couple of sessions, I feel comfortable talking about anything with him." M.T

Daniel Lavelle

Licensed Professional Counselor

As a licensed therapist I bring in a fresh outlook on the human psyche and soul-functioning in today’s world.



I offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with an organization called Journey Clinical.


Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. I take on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while Journey Clinical’s medical team supports you on all medical aspects. This includes determining eligibility, developing a custom treatment plan, prescribing the medicine and monitoring outcomes.


My honest, accurate, and updated view about human functioning was acknowledged by my Master’s Counseling program at Johns Hopkins University which caused them to rank me as one of the top Honors students in my cohort for my counseling degree.


Having a wealth of knowledge-from-participation in this life, I truly understand the sacredness and life-saving benefits of the counseling experience.



Graduating from the esteemed Johns Hopkins University has instilled in me a profound respect for scientific research and evidence-based practices. My dedication to understanding the depth and breadth of human consciousness and mental health is a testament to this rigorous academic foundation.
