“When asked, what do I do? I sometimes reply… You know that old adage, “Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day, teach them to fish and you feed them for life”? Well no matter its uncertain origin, I am uplifted by it, and I’d like to believe my facilitation strengthens people to become keenly adept at fishing—for a lifetime.” — Dana Lichtstrahl

I consider myself a multifaceted, integrative and skilled facilitator, with a unique approach that empowers age-diverse people to navigate life with insight and therefore, balance. Currently pursuing a PhD in East-West Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies, I combine a multiplicity of methodologies to foster personal and collaborative growth. 

In addition to extensive work in psychology, shamanic studies, and mediumship (yes, ask me why), I recently expanded my practice to include divorce mediation, reflecting a commitment to supporting people through transformative, life-changing experiences. 

Currently, I’m a student member of the New Jersey Association of Professional Mediators and the New Jersey Psychological Association, as well as an established author of numerous published works available on Amazon. Through my practice I aim to help others become, “adept at fishing—for a lifetime.”

The books, both serious and whimsical, have one common theme. They seek to understand human identity; who we are becoming individually, collectively, ecologically, and cosmically, by exploring the attributes of thinking (cognition), and awareness (consciousness), toward creating win-win experiences.  Purchase them through Amazon by clicking the following titles: The Fish Who Discovered Water (2024, fiction, ebook); What Are We Thinking?
