About Me

I'm Danny Marsh, a licensed clinical social worker and Board Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator (CFMHE, NBFE) running Go Live Happy, Inc., a multi-state private practice with offices in Washington, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida. I provide EMDR-led therapy for anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and trauma; court-ordered forensic evaluations; and immigration psychological evaluations (asylum, hardship, U-visa, T-visa, VAWA, cancellation of removal). I'm a U.S. Army veteran (1995–2011), FBI Crisis Negotiation–trained, and I work in English and Spanish. I see clients in person at 14 offices across six states and via telehealth statewide in each. New clients welcome, book a free 15-minute consultation.

Approach

My primary therapeutic modality is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR has strong research behind it for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression, and I have watched it move people through material that years of talk therapy could not reach. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and culturally responsive care. Sessions are practical and goal-anchored. We check what is working, and we adjust.

Services

I work with adults across six states who are facing the things that don't have easy answers: anxiety that won't quiet down, depression that has lasted longer than you expected, suicidal thoughts that scare you, and trauma, whether it has a single date attached to it or a long story behind it. I also work with people whose mental health is now intersecting with the legal system, a court order, an immigration case, a family law matter, or a forensic evaluation request from an attorney.
