Danielle Espinosa
Starting your journey toward healing and self-discovery is an incredible, courageous first step, and I am so thankful that your journey has found you here. My first and most important goal with each of my clients is to make them feel safe and supported, as I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful mechanism for change. I strive to create an environment where you feel safe and empowered to explore heavy traumas and are wholly accepted as you are across all your various, intersecting identities. You are the sole expert and captain of your life and I hope to be your guide and companion as you steer the way.
I provide therapeutic services to individual adults and specialize in working with second-generation Asian American adults and survivors of interpersonal trauma. Common issues I work with include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, and relational and generational traumas. I am passionate about integrating cultural awareness and sensitivity with all my clients, particularly how oppressive systems such as racism, sexism, and capitalism impact my clients and their emotional, mental, and physical well-being. In a typical session, we may work to explore intergenerational trauma and the messages you received as a child through your family, culture, and society in order to understand how they impact you now as an adult. I believe our inner wounded child affects how we show up in our day-to-day lives, relationships, and how we love ourselves; my goal is to help guide you toward healing and loving your inner child, thereby learning to love yourself more. By exploring intergenerational trauma, we will create compassion for your family and culture while recognizing what values and tactics may have helped your family survive, but no longer serve you today.
Starting therapy can often feel daunting and vulnerable as you begin to share your life and story with essentially a stranger; I would be honored to be the therapist who holds your story with the utmost care and compassion. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up a free consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
