About Dana Boyko, LCSW:
Specialist in Perinatal Mental Health & Psychodynamic Therapy
Dana Boyko is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) at Houston Therapy in Houston, Texas. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Indiana University and her Master of Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, where she completed clinical internships using play, art, and talk therapy in school settings.
Following her master's degree, Dana completed a post-graduate Fellowship in Adult Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with the Center for Psychoanalytic Studies. She also brings extensive experience facilitating group therapy in Intensive Outpatient Programs, including process groups, multi-family groups, and psychoeducational groups. Dana is committed to ongoing advanced clinical training and continuing education.
Dana specializes in perinatal mental health, supporting women and their partners through infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum depression and anxiety. She works with adolescents and adults navigating life transitions, grief, trauma, and long-standing patterns rooted in family-of-origin dynamics.
My Approach
Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Whether you're navigating the complex emotions of infertility, the transition into motherhood, or the weight of long-standing anxiety, you don't have to untangle it alone.
My work goes beyond surface-level symptoms to address the root causes of your distress. With a foundation in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I help clients understand how their past experiences and family dynamics shape their present reality, and build a path toward genuine, long-lasting change.
I blend the depth of psychodynamic work with the practical tools of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. We won't just talk about the "what." We'll discover the "why." I'm also committed to providing a safe, affirming space for individuals of all races, backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss whether we'd be a good fit.
