Danielle J. Dronet graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles with a bachelor's degree in Social Work. She graduated from the University of Southern California with a Masters Degree in Social Work. She is currently attending the Institute for Clinical Social Work to earn her PhD in the Philosophy of Psychoanalytic Studies. Danielle’s dissertation is focused on the maternal relationship effect on single-never-married-female-head-of-household’s use of economic resources. 

Danielle was employed for sixteen years as an emergency response social worker and investigated imminent danger cases of child abuse. Her lived experience led to her decision to move to New York City and completed her clinical training to become a licensed, practicing, independent clinical social worker. While living in New York City, Danielle was introduced to psychoanalytic theory as a way to practice mental health therapy. Ms. Dronet believed that psychoanalytic theory continued the journey where behavioral economics stopped in the effort to understand and alleviate poverty.

Danielle completed independent licensure training in New York City and relocated to Cleveland, Ohio. Completion of her training resulted in the award of independent licensure in social work in the state of Ohio, New York, and Washington. Danielle relocated to Cleveland to pursue a dual adult and child psychoanalytic training program. During her second year of psychoanalytic training, Danielle entered the Institute for Clinical Social Work(ICSW). ICSW provided the opportunity to engage in the philosophical study of psychoanalytic theory for the purpose of mental health, poverty, and economics research.

Danielle’s private practice, research, and community economic  engagement led to the creation of the CAMHP Foundation.The mission of the foundation is to research and bring awareness of the importance of maternal and familial relationships' long-lasting effects upon a person's lived economic experiences. An infant's maternal experience and resulting psychological development will contribute to a person's use of their economic resources and development of relative economic stability.
