Greetings! My name is Daniel Badillo, I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the owner of Polaris Mental Health Counseling Services. I have been a practicing mental health counselor in New York state since 2012. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Connecticut.

Since graduating with honors from the Mental Health Counseling program at Iona College, I have worked with a diverse set of populations in a variety of environments, including psychiatric hospitals and mental health clinics. I started my own virtual practice in 2019.

My primary focus is working with adolescents and adults to overcome personal struggles that they may face. I describe my approach as person centered and often utilize aspects of CBT, DBT, and other evidence based interventions. I am also trained in EMDR therapy and conduct trauma therapy using this modality.

Nobody is the same, so my approach is tailored to each individual. I take great pride in being able to help others navigate the often choppy waters of life while being able to grow as an individual and as a practitioner myself.

Areas of clinical focus include but are not limited to:

• Mood disorders (Depression, Anxiety, etc.)
• Stress management
• Relational problems
• Anger management
• Trauma/PTSD
• Obsessive compulsive behavior
• Adjustment issues
• School/work related issues
• ADHD
• Low Self-esteem
• Panic Disorder

Types of counseling offered:

• Individual (Adolescents 13+, Adults)
• Teletherapy (phone/video)
