Daniela De Los Angeles, LCSW-S

Hi there! I'm passionate about helping folks who want to work through Complex PSTD or complex trauma, functional depression & anxiety, and self esteem concerns. My goal is to help you get unstuck from a cycle of over functioning, people pleasing, disconnection and overwhelm, to a place of grounding, clarity and connection. Many of my clients struggle as you do. On the outside, it looks like they’re doing fine: they go to work, school, meet their responsibilities and then some. But inside, they feel disconnected and overwhelmed. They’ve pushed through to meet the needs and expectations of others, sometimes to the detriment of their own mental, emotional, and physical health. They’ve tried to navigate challenging or toxic family systems, and have struggled with their sense of self worth, self-esteem and toxic shame. And this can be a lot to carry. Together, we can identify the roots of anxiety and depression, heal childhood trauma, and break ground on a new foundation that aligns with your values and needs. In my opinion, one of the most important factors in getting to a place of grounding and healing, is having a strong connection and fit with your therapist. In our work together, you’ll find that my style is warm, compassionate, and empathetic. From a person-centered approach, I like to pull in from different therapies and tools as needed depending on what is going on for you. I’m not afraid to talk about anything you need to! I approach things from a place of curiosity and non-judgment. I don’t see therapy as a one size fits all approach; I enjoy fostering a space that’s gender affirming and body positive, as well as sex positive and kink friendly/affirming. I also strive to provide a warm, supportive and judgment-free space that is culture affirming and trauma informed, with an understanding that you are the expert on your life. If any of this speaks to you and your current needs, I would be honored to work with you. I invite you to contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your goals, any questions you might have, and to see if we're a good fit!
