Daniella Cracknell is a MSW therapist specializing in complex trauma. She works with adults navigating life transitions, high-stress environments, and the lasting impact of experiences such as abuse, mental health challenges, cognitive changes, and other vulnerable circumstances.
Her clinical training spans acute psychiatric care, outpatient veteran mental health, and residential addiction treatment, providing her with a strong foundation in risk assessment, stabilization, and trauma-informed care.

This background informs her ability to support clients within complex, high-demand environments where multiple systems intersect.
Prior to her clinical career, Daniella spent over two decades in media relations, working in high-pressure, public-facing environments where trust, discretion, and the ability to navigate complex personal and professional dynamics were essential.
