Nathan Daly (they/them/theirs) cannot and will not “fix” you because you are not broken and because all gains made in the therapeutic relationship are a result of your willingness to come to know yourself. Theories and modalities central to Nathan's practice include Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness and Buddhist contemplation practices, feminist theory, family systems, and attachment theory. Nathan's training, passion and personal style tend to be most effective in working with adult survivors of childhood abuse (e.g., sexual, psychological, physical and spiritual) in an individual, couples and family capacity.

As a service provider for over 20 years, while having the pleasure of working with diverse populations, I have learned many valuable lessons are learned. As a service provider, more than the intent of creating positive change in the lives of those served may be needed. As a QTBIPOC service recipient and clinician, I understand the importance of having access to safe and affirming service spaces. Services that actively understand the power behind intersectionality. If services are inequitable for some, they fail all of us. Together we are strong.

Liberation and freedom starts with ourselves, and I’m so grateful your curiosity has brought you here. As a holistic mental health practitioner, I have come to value open heartedness, curiosity, and compassion as a foundation for client-centered healing. In my work, I have found that clients often show up to therapy with high insight around their symptoms, but frustration because this knowing isn’t leading to long-term changes. In a world where people feel they need to choose between intellectual knowing versus having feelings, I offer the third choice where we can find balance between our head and heart

Compassion Focused Therapists

How does compassion-focused therapy work?

Compassion-Focused Therapy is based on the idea that humans have at least three emotion regulation systems, including one that responds to threats and another that allows us to self-soothe. Those who experienced serious childhood adversity, the theory goes, have a hyperactive threat system and an underperforming self-soothing system, leaving them vulnerable to shame and a hypercritical mindset. CFT focuses on bringing these systems back into balance, helping the client be kinder to themselves and better able to accept kindness from others.

Is compassion-focused therapy a type of CBT?

Compassion-focused therapy is closely related to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and employs many of its techniques. In addition to CBT, CFT also draws from the fields of biology, evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, developmental psychology, and Buddhism. It also has similarities to some types of trauma-focused therapies.

Is compassion-focused therapy evidence based?

Evidence suggests that CFT can be helpful in the treatment of anxiety, mood disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, psychosis, and other mental illnesses. It has also been shown to be beneficial for individuals who may not have diagnosable psychiatric disorders but who still struggle with persistent self-criticism and feelings of shame.

What are the limitations of compassion-focused therapy?

Compassion-focused therapy is still a relatively new therapy, and research on its efficacy is still in its early stages; while some studies have found positive results, many have suffered from quality issues or small sample sizes. And while most CFT clients find it difficult to practice self-compassion at first, some—especially those who actively fear compassion or are deeply uncomfortable being cared for—may not be fully open to the tenets of CFT, potentially limiting the therapy’s long-term effectiveness.
