Josh Danaher, MS, LAC

After teaching communications at Grand Canyon University for 13 years, Josh followed God’s call to serve as a trauma-informed counselor. Josh is a Licensed Associate Counselor and a firm believer in holistic therapy because the trials we face in life deeply impact our mind, body, and relationships. He believes that growth, resilience, and well-being are cultivated by leveraging God-given strengths in all of these areas!

Josh is a certified instructor and blue belt with Gracie University, training in the Master Cycle program at Gracie Jiujitsu Glendale while teaching Gracie Combatives for adults and Gracie Bullyproof classes for children ages 5- 12.

Josh is married to his wife Mindy, and they have been blessed with four very active boys. As a family, they love to hike, read books, do CrossFit, practice jiujitsu, eat good food, and travel together. Josh is grateful to be able to serve at his church teaching the children’s Sunday school and helping with the worship service.

Josh is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, is passionate about couples counseling, and is under the direct supervision of Perry Emerick, M.A, LPC, who is an approved Clinical Supervisor through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.
