Are you feeling unseen or unheard in your relationships? Do you often find yourself trapped in an internal tug-of-war with conflicting internal voices or parts? Do you often feel like the black sheep of your family or "the problem"? These experiences can be deeply isolating and spark feelings of hopelessness. If you're currently grappling with the overwhelming impact of trauma, shame, conflict, stress, or pain without a supportive ally by your side, I would be honored to accompany you, your partner/s, family, and children on this transformative journey toward healing and growth.

Therapy with me is embracing, warm & collaborative. I bring a trauma-focused, non-pathologizing, and attachment-driven style into the room. I offer EMDR, emotional-focused, narrative therapy interventions, and a strong Internal Family Systems lens. As such, I work extensively with survivors of C-PTSD & trauma, creatives, the LGBTQIA+ community, and families.

I lean into work with high-conflict families, couples, and partnerships with hope & gentleness. Finally, I foster a creative and vibrant therapeutic space by incorporating play, music, and art interventions for children (and adults!). If this speaks to you, I would be honored to be on your team and schedule a consultation together.

Groups

Healing with Harmony: A Music Group for Trauma

Hosted by

Danielle Palomares

Music is often quoted as being “a universal language” given its power to transmit ideas, stories, and feelings across cultures and people. The Healing with Harmony: Music Processing Group for Trauma harnesses the power of music and structured sound experiences as tools for expression, processing, connection, and coping for survivors of developmental and single-incident trauma (C-PTSD & PTSD). The group encourages active, somatic processing and a focus on nervous system regulation and stabilization. Clients can expect to leave the group with dozens of tools for grounding, coping, processing, and healing and a supportive community!
