Professional statement

Danielle Nowlan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Chicago, IL who specializes in disordered eating, including binge eating disorder, chronic dieting and emotional eating, body image, anxiety, mood and trauma. Danielle works with adults of all genders across the lifespan, with clients ranging in age from their 20's to 60's.

Danielle’s philosophy is based on intuitive eating, an evidence-based approach that helps individuals find peace with food through learning how to reject diet culture and nourish their body with what feels best and meets their needs. She helps clients address areas of healing and growth at a pace that works for their unique needs and goals.

Danielle is passionate about the work she does and wants every one of her clients to feel empowered to define health for themselves and heal and discover their personal relationship to food.

Message to clients

Making the decision to enter therapy can be really challenging. The idea of talking about things that you may be struggling to find words for or feel embarrassed about can be so hard. Together we'll find a way to give voice to the parts that feel messy and create a space where it feels safe to share your struggles. I'd love to connect to answer any questions and make sure you feel like it's a good fit.
