Dr. Dana Conzemius-Schindler (she/her), Ph.D. is a 2025-2026 postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Well-Being. Dana was previously a pre-doctoral intern at AU. Dana strives to create an authentic and collaborative therapeutic space where clients feel "safe enough" to explore their experiences, emotions, and relationships. Dana often uses an integrative approach that centers around Interpersonal and Relational Cultural therapeutic approaches. Dana's clinical interests include interpersonal and relational concerns, trauma, interpersonal violence, social anxiety, sense of self development, and grief. Dana approaches therapy from a community-focused and non-discriminatory lens that values and uplifts all individuals and identities.
