Dana Teeter, LCSW

Dana Teeter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana who brings ten years of experience working with young people, families, and adults. She blends evidence-based talk therapies with mind-body practices to help people manage mood, stress, and everyday challenges. Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness approaches, trauma-focused methods, somatic work, internal family systems, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, narrative therapy, and client-centered care.

Much of Dana's background is in school-based counseling and social work, where she spent a decade supporting children and adolescents. She has extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, childhood trauma, identity and self-esteem concerns, interpersonal skills, and emotional regulation. In addition to direct clinical work, she has written individual education programs (IEPs), 504 plans, behavior intervention plans, and measurable goals for students with ADHD, and has collaborated with school staff and families to put those plans into practice.

Dana also brings lived experience as a parent of two sons diagnosed with ADHD, a perspective she blends with her professional training to support families navigating similar challenges. She works with adults and families as well as youth, helping people assess what is weighing them down, build emotional self-regulation skills, and develop practical plans for improved mental health and functioning.

Outside of traditional therapy methods, Dana emphasizes holistic practices that support mental wellness. She integrates techniques such as yoga-informed exercises, breath work, progressive muscle relaxation, and movement-based strategies into treatment when helpful. She is Yogafit certified, a Revelation Wellness instructor, and holds a black belt in Taekwondo, and she uses education about neuroplasticity and mind-body connections to empower clients toward sustainable growth.
