Aloha! My name is Danielle Parsons. I am licensed in the State of Washington as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I graduated from Seattle University’s School of Theology and Ministry from the Couples and Family Therapy program in 2016. 

 

I was born and raised in the beautiful town of Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i. I have lived in Washington State for over 30 years. I have the lived experience of marriage (over 40 years), raising children, being a grandparent and all of the joys and challenges that comes with being in a fulfilling relationship. My life experiences have taught me much and I am always open to learning more. 

 

I began my  journey as a therapist later in life, after my children had grown and moved out of the home. While I loved what I was doing at the time, I chose to pursue a deeper calling, a vocation to serve others. Becoming a mental health therapist, seeing people grow and change in healthy ways, and being of service to the community has been deeply fulfilling and a wonderful journey for me.

​

I chose the name Aloha Compassionate Counseling for my business because I value the Spirit of Aloha and what I strive to be in my life with others and myself. Compassion and the Spirit of Aloha are being present with someone, to hear their story and how they may be suffering and in pain. It is one of the greatest gifts we can offer to one another; presence and acknowledgement of the other. I am grateful for the opportunity to do this very important work.
