About Danielle O.

The 85 year long Harvard Study of Adult Development has taught us:"Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives." I help people build better relationships—with themselves, their loved ones, their communities, and their purpose. As a Relationship Coach and Therapy Consultant, I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to heal, grow, and connect in more meaningful ways. Whether you're facing a crisis, navigating past trauma, or simply want more joy and fulfillment in your relationships, I offer compassionate, strategic guidance to help you get there. I also help clients understand the world of therapy—what it is, how it works, and most importantly, how to find a therapist who’s the right fit. With nearly 30 years of experience in mental health, Marriage and Family Therapy, Social Work, and the treatment of emotional trauma and addiction, I have the insight and connections to get people the support they truly need. At the same time, I’m passionate about bringing mental wellness to the organizational level. As Co-Founder and Executive Director of Novus Mindful Life Institute in Long Beach, California, I’ve led a successful clinical team, designed scalable mental health systems, and developed workshops and trainings that support resilient, inclusive workplace cultures. Now, I’m excited to expand that impact further—ideally within a mission-driven organization or corporation that values the well-being of its employees and its community. Whether it’s consulting on culture, designing mental wellness programs, or leading internal initiatives to support emotional health and belonging, I bring a proven, people-first approach. I have direct experience working alongside CEOs and founders to create data-informed strategies that drive both personal and organizational success. My background spans government, non-profit, education, healthcare, manufacturing, and more—giving me the cross-sector insight to connect with teams at every level. Whether you're: An individual seeking expert guidance on your personal healing or relationships, Or a company ready to invest in the mental and relational health of your people— Let’s talk. I’d love to help.
