Connect with Malinda Dunfield

I am an experienced Relational and Somatic Psychotherapist. My foundation is in relational talk therapy, grounded in the belief that healing happens when your story is explored in the presence of a compassionate witness. At the same time, our experiences don’t only live in our minds. Stress, trauma, and emotion are also held in the nervous system and body. I offer an integrated, mind–body approach to therapy, weaving conversation and insight with body-based practices such as Somatic Experiencing, IFS-informed parts work, and breath-based techniques. This supports deeper, more lasting change by addressing both mind and body together.
Many of the people I support feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck, sometimes to the point that their health or daily functioning begins to suffer. While I work with a wide range of concerns, I have particular experience supporting workplace stress and disability, life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety and feelings of disconnection.
In addition, I have an increasing interest in supporting those experiencing the impact of chronic stress on the body. If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. I offer a free 45-minute consultation (virtually or in person) so we can connect, talk through what you’re looking for, and see if working together feels like a good fit.
