About Daniel

Are you ready to explore the challenging thoughts that are troubling you and bringing anxiety and fear into your life? My approach to therapy is trauma focused and eclectic. I strongly believe that therapy should not be a “one-size-fits-all” model. I am a person that cares about the comfort of my clients and looks forward to supporting you in the process of self-growth and self-acceptance. Therapy can be intimidating for some people, but you are not going at this alone. I am committed to work with you to address all of your concerns as you begin creating a life you are comfortable living and that you genuinely enjoy.

My approach to therapy utilizes various techniques that help you identify and understand your emotions, explore strengths and skills you naturally have, and learn how they can be used to begin resolving your current dilemma. In session I strive to create a safe space for clients to feel heard, understood, and accepted. I am passionate about helping adults, adolescence, couples, and families become aware of their unique issues that hurt them in their relationships. Along with being a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, I am a Certified School Counselor. I have experience with anxiety, stress and families. I have also worked in the public-school setting by providing services to at risk youths and was successful in assisting adolescents with transitioning to adulthood.

Miguel A. Cintron, MD

Physician Coach

About Miguel

Hello! My name is Miguel Cintron, a Board Certified OB-GYN, now practicing as an OB-GYN Hospitalist. I have spent decades as a Private Practitioner, in Academic Practice and in Medical Leadership at the local, state and national levels. I have helped train thousands of physicians and earned the title of Certified Master Teacher from a major medical school in Texas.

I am dismayed by the number of physicians who report burnout, disappointment and unhappiness in general. I bring my experience to Balev as a Physician Coach as I firmly embrace the concept of Life Balance in order to Evolve in whatever we choose in life. I look forward to working with a team of professionals who can offer a holistic, encompassing approach to wellness.

We physicians are used to helping. That is what we do. But in the process, we also need help as we encounter the serious challenges our profession presents. Together, allow me to help you face those challenges and guide you to a more balanced, gratifying and fruitful life as a Physician.
