Dr Daniella Lang, PsyD

I am a clinical psychologist (Psy.D.) licensed in Israel, Florida, and Illinois. I work with both English and Spanish-speaking clients and specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults. My work is characterized by a client-centered and integrative approach. I engage my clients with the understanding that every individual has their own path requiring a unique roadmap. I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic interventions including cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, attachment interventions, play therapy, sand tray therapy, solution-focused interventions, existential therapy, narrative therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. My background has enabled me to work with culturally, linguistically, and socio-economically diverse clients, and I find it essential to be empathic and genuine. My grandparents were Holocaust survivors, my parents are Argentine immigrants, and I am a new immigrant (Olah) to Israel. I have a deep understanding of the cultural complexities and change involved with these transitions and am committed to cultural sensitivity within my clinical work and interpersonal relationships. Trauma Work I find it particularly meaningful to assist individuals who have faced trauma, facilitating them towards experiencing post-traumatic growth. This transformative journey empowers them to cultivate strength, resilience, and personal development in the aftermath of life’s challenges. I have an extensive background in trauma including working with survivors of domestic abuse, assisting after the Surfside building collapse in Florida, and working with individuals impacted by gun violence in both the Parkland School, Florida and the Highland Park, Illinois shootings. During these tragedies I provided direct support to individuals in addition to working on-site managing crisis teams. Navigating Life in Israel Israel is experiencing unique and challenging times which further underscores the importance of providing sensitive and effective support. Since moving to Israel, I have provided support to lone soldiers and other individuals and families affected by the current situation. I have also provided consultation to staff and participants from different programs to assist with navigating crises and their responses. Education I received my Doctoral Degree from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology. I completed my American Psychological Association (APA) accredited pre-doctoral internship at Miami Dade County, Community Action & Human Services Department followed by my postdoctoral residency at Nova Southeastern University, Florida. Clinical Experience I have worked with clients who have struggled with a wide range of challenges spanning their entire lifetimes. I received clinical training within universities, schools, hospitals,and community-based settings serving individuals, groups, and families. I have served individuals who have experienced anxiety, trauma, depression, adjustment issues, interpersonal deficits, grief, and struggles with acculturation.
