Dan Juengst

Dan finds that the therapeutic alliance is the single most important aspect of therapy, and he works from a client-centered stance because of it. Change happens when client and clinician move as a unit, and that only becomes possible inside a therapeutic environment safe enough to be honest in. His approach is highly goal-oriented and focused on future positive outcomes, while recognizing how much of that work runs through the past a client needs to make sense of.

Dan is open to a wide range of populations and presenting concerns, with focused experience supporting clients on the autism spectrum, young adults, and men. His clinical work has centered on anxiety, depression, social challenges, executive functioning difficulties, and life transitions.

Dan’s clinical foundation was built at the Rutgers Center for Adult Autism Services, where he spent nearly two years supporting college students with an autism diagnosis — coordinating the College Support Program throughout, and carrying a therapy caseload as a graduate student clinician alongside it. He met students one-to-one each week, co-facilitated a CBT and executive functioning skills group, and coordinated care across mental health services, faculty, and disability services.
