Meet Your Therapist:
Daisy Bonilla, LCSW
My clients all have unique histories. What they share is the determination to be free of past trauma, grief, depression, anger, PTSD symptoms, reoccurring thoughts, and life patterns. I have worked with clients working through addictions, OCD, attachment trauma, sexuality, gender identity, hoarding, cutting, suicidal tendencies; the effects of childhood sexual abuse, human trafficking, rape, borderline personality, marital affairs, divorce, co-parenting, complicated grief, racial oppression and a whole host of relational struggles. My clients come from all points of faith and walks of life. Teens, adults, and seniors. I work with individuals, couples, families, groups, staff teams, multiculturalism, and leadership development.
I practice from a person-centered framework through training in Solution Focused Interventions, as well as Structural Family Systems. I implement harm reduction approaches, Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy techniques. I am also an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.
I am confident that together we can work to help equip you with the necessary tools to help empower you to face and overcome life’s challenges. You don’t have to be alone on this journey. I would love an opportunity to connect with you and show you that there is hope in healing. Please reach out today.
