Psychiatry & Counseling Providers

Daniela Caserta, MA, LMFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) Daniela Caserta works with patients of all ages on their mental health journey. Her approach to care begins with using a developmental lens to determine what is organically or biologically indicated and goes from there: “We all get to be writers of our story,” she says. “While we are living a story that we did not author, we can create our to-be-determined narrative. When someone possesses that sense of determination to change their story, it’s really where science and humanity meet.”

Daniela says trauma is inherent in the human experience but varied in how it affects people. She works to reduce shame around the effects of trauma and helps patients mitigate those effects going forward.

Daniela is mom to two 20-something daughters, and lives with her husband, mother, and dog in central Vermont, where she’s been over 20 years. She enjoys walking, reading, puzzle games, and spending time on the water.
