Dannette S. Vest is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of clinical experience supporting individuals and couples through life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and care. Her work is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with self-understanding and grows through thoughtful, collaborative exploration.

Her understanding that exploring unfamiliar or uncomfortable parts of ourselves can feel daunting. In therapy, she provides a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can safely examine patterns, behaviors, and experiences that may no longer be serving them. Together, this awareness becomes the foundation for developing new perspectives, healthier coping strategies, and lasting growth.

Dannette's clinical work is informed by evidenced-based modalities, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), in which she is certified, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to include CBT for Insomnia, Depression, and Anxiety. She integrates these approaches thoughtfully to meet each client’s unique needs, whether addressing trauma, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions.

As Clinical Director of BlueHaven Wellness Dannette is deeply committed to ethical practice, evidence-based care, and creating an emotionally safe therapeutic environment. She approaches therapy as a collaborative partnership—one that honors each client’s pace, values, and goals. Her style is warm, thoughtful, and grounded, helping clients feel supported as they work toward meaningful change.

She has a strong passion for working with couples and individuals navigating trauma, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression. She looks forward to walking alongside clients on their journey toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

Dannette extends a warm invitation to those seeking therapy: an opportunity to learn more about yourself, clarify what matters most, and take intentional steps toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
