Danielle Blyden, LCSW- Clinical Director and Owner
I am the owner and lead clinician at Bloom Counseling and Therapeutic Services where we specialize in adolescents and young adults because I believe it is the developmental age for change! The youthful mind is the perfect fertile ground for planting seeds of resiliency, coping skills and lifelong healthy habits. I believe in meeting people where they are at mentally and emotionally to give them the tools they need to bloom where they are planted!
I was born right here in Tampa Bay! When I'm not working I love to eat, travel, and dance! I received my Bachelors degree from the University of South Florida then travelled up North to attain my Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Georgia. I have over 10 years of experience empowering people around the world to be the best version of themselves.
We are so excited to meet you, together we can work through your difficult times and use them to help build a strong future! Are you ready to Bloom?

I have supported individuals with ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, anger, relationship challenges, and behavioral disorders. I enjoy facilitating psycho-educational counseling groups. As a multiracial clinician I have a passion for addressing the role race, ethnicity, and culture has in one’s journey. I believe in using evidence-based practices while also being able to adapt to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to help you improve your overall mental health, uncover the root causes of difficulties, work towards healing, and develop effective coping strategies.
I received my bachelor’s and master’s degree from the University of South Florida. Tampa is my home now, but I was born and raised in Miami, FL.
