Licensed Therapists Bio
Kevin Daniels, LCSW, LCDP, ACSW, QCSW, CCTS, D.A.A.E.T.S., ABS I Owner
Kevin Daniels is a licensed clinical social worker, trauma therapist, and Practice Owner of Open Minds Therapy, LLC. For more than seven years, he has worked with trauma survivors, LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, first responders, veterans, and those navigating addiction, recovery, and identity-related stress. His work rests on a clear conviction: healing becomes possible when safety is restored, dignity is protected, and personal agency is strengthened.
Kevin holds a Master of Social Work from Delaware State University and is pursuing a Doctorate in Health Sciences exploring how trauma intersects with biological, psychological, and systemic factors. His training includes EMDR, CBT, EFT tapping, sex-informed therapy, and somatic intervention. He is a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist through the International Trauma Institute and holds distinguished credentials from NASW, including Academy of Certified Social Worker and Qualified Clinical Social Worker.
His approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and depth-oriented, drawing from attachment theory, nervous system science, and parts-based frameworks that recognize how experience is encoded through sensation, imagery, and meaning. Therapy is collaborative and paced with intention, helping clients move from survival-based adaptation toward integration, clarity, and self-trust.
Kevin's work is also shaped by lived experience. He grew up in an environment marked by instability and violence, and as a gay man of Lebanese heritage, he brings cultural humility and an identity-affirming lens to his practice, with particular awareness of generational trauma, shame, silence, and resilience.
Beyond the clinical space, Kevin is a writer exploring trauma, recovery, and lineage. He holds a grounded belief: people are not broken. They are often carrying burdens that were never theirs to hold. Healing is not about erasing the past. It is about reclaiming authorship of the present.
"Healing is not the absence of memory. It is the presence of freedom."
Jillian Wiggins, LPC, NCC I Clinician
Jillian Wiggins, LPC, NCC grew up in New Jersey with a heart full of questions and limited support to help her make sense of them. Like many adolescents, she struggled. Unlike many, she made an early decision that one day she would become the person she needed during that time. That choice quietly shaped the course of her life.
Jillian began her academic journey at Delaware Technical Community College, earning an AAS in Human Services. She went on to complete a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Wilmington University, followed by a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University.
Today, Jillian is a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor who works with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, depression, grief, and life transitions. She is trained in grief therapy and integrates nervous system–regulating techniques into her work, helping clients build safety, stability, and emotional resilience. Her approach is warm, practical, and deeply relational, grounded in compassion, authenticity, and a strong belief in each client’s capacity for growth and change.
For Jillian, therapy is more than a profession, it is a calling. Each time a client reconnects with their strength, processes loss, or rediscovers a part of themselves they thought was gone, she is reminded why she began this journey. The hope, resilience, and healing she witnesses continue to inspire her to show up with open ears, an open heart, and steady faith in what is possible.
“The work is not about fixing what is broken, but about helping people remember who they have always been.”
Dennis Daniels, LMSW, CADC I Practice Director
Dennis is an authentic and nonjudgmental clinician, as well as the co-founder and Practice Director of Open Minds Therapy, LLC. Having lived much of his life loving people impacted by addiction, Dennis developed a deep understanding of the complexity, pain, and humanity that surround substance use. Those experiences shaped his passion for teaching, counseling, and advocating for individuals and families navigating addiction and recovery.
Inspired by his husband’s gift for helping others, Dennis encouraged the creation of Open Minds Therapy and now leads the practice’s day-to-day operations, community partnerships, and client care coordination. As Practice Director, he works behind the scenes to ensure the practice runs with integrity, accessibility, and heart, playing a central role in its growth and success.
Dennis’s clinical focus includes trauma recovery, substance use, and life transitions. He believes deeply in people and their capacity for change. He often sees strengths clients cannot yet recognize in themselves and supports them in discovering those strengths at their own pace. Dennis honors clients as the experts of their own stories and emphasizes practical skills, compassion, and collaboration in the therapeutic process.
He is committed to culturally responsive care and to increasing access to quality mental health services for underserved communities. Dennis holds a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) credential and is a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC). He is eligible to sit for his LCSW in 2027.
