Our History

White Sands Counseling Center, LLC was founded in 2018 with the goal of creating a innovative and comprehensive approach to counseling. Our company is built on the ideas of our co-owners, Danette and Joey, who bring over 13 years of experience in the healthcare industry. We recognized a growing deficit in the healthcare business and decided to bring back the human factor to this specialty.

Our Services

We offer a range of services, including therapy, life coaching, and ART therapy. Our therapy services are designed to provide a personalized and supportive experience, addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, and more. Our life coaching services help you set and achieve your goals, providing action-oriented support to help you move forward. Our ART therapy is a unique approach to psychotherapy, guiding clients to replace negative images in the mind with positive ones, reducing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress.

Our Team

Our team is led by Danette Dupre, LCSW, a licensed therapist and qualified supervisor, and Joseph Dutra, certified life coach and business manager. Our team is committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment, where you feel heard and valued.
