Daniela Navarro

Hi! I’m Daniela Navarro, LSW (she/her). Sometimes, the ways we think, feel, or behave don’t fully make sense to us, but they often come from places and experiences we haven’t had the chance to slow down and understand yet. At times, these experiences can feel overwhelming and hard to put into words. I see therapy as a space to slow down, understand what’s been shaping your experience, and begin to respond to yourself and your environment. As a Latina therapist, I understand that the way we understand ourselves is often shaped by culture, family, and the environments we grow up in. These influences can affect how we feel, how we show up in relationships, and how we grow or change. I approach this work with cultural awareness and care, and I offer therapy in both English and Spanish so you can express yourself in the language that feels most natural to you. In our work, I focus on creating a space where things can be said in your own words, at your own pace. Over time, we can begin to make sense of what’s been coming up for you and notice patterns that may not have been clear before. To support this process, I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Psychodynamic Approach, the Gottman Method, and the Attachment Regulation Competency Framework to help make sense of patterns and find functional ways to respond to them. Through my work, I had the opportunity to work with different populations, including adults, couples, children, adolescents, and families. A lot of my experience relies on child and family work, where I had the chance to see how early experiences carry forward. Across these experiences, I specialized in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, and life transitions, as well as challenges that come up within family and relational dynamics. I also have experience working with individuals navigating ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent experiences. And from my experience, even when concerns seem similar, each unfolds in its own way, almost like a fingerprint. Because of this, there isn’t one way the therapy process is supposed to look. What matters most is noticing what feels right for you to grow. Sometimes that becomes clearer just by having the space to slow down and pay attention. If this feels like something you’re ready to explore, I’d be glad to meet you there.
