About Us
Hello, I'm Dana
LICSW (MN) - LCSW (WI) - CCSP-ADHD
Welcome to Brilliant Pathways Therapeutic Services. I'm Dana Tonne, a licensed clinical social worker with a deep passion for supporting individuals and families navigating mental health challenges - especially those related to ADHD and neurodiversity.
My journey in this work was driven by a belief that every person deserves to be seen, understood and empowered. I specialize in working with clients across the lifespan, starting at age 5, in MN and WI. Whether you're a child just beginning to understand how your brain works, a teenage navigating school and peer pressures, or an adult seeking clarity and coping strategies, I'm here to walk alongside you.
What to Expect
I take a strengths-based, client-centered approach-meaning we work together at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you and what makes you uniquely capable. ADHD is not a deficit; it is a unique way of thinking and experiencing your world around you. My goal is to help you understand and learn to use these traits to your benefit and to build confidence while doing so.
I offer both in-person at my Stillwater, MN office and telehealth appointments for the convenience of clients throughout WI and MN.
