Therapists in Cupertino, CA

¡Hola! I'm Denisse and reconnecting to my Latinx culture, ancestors, roots, and motherland in this last year has been an core part of my development as a psychotherapist and the inspiration in creating Ancestral Therapy, a relational, non-pathologizing, liberation centered, and culturally affirming therapeutic lens for first gen, children of immigrants, bicultural identifying folk, and black or brown bodies who need more than just talk therapy but want to reclaim their power, break cycles of generational trauma, access the innate wisdom of their body, and process the impact of colonization and systemic oppression onto their people.

I am an Italian who has been living in The Bay Area for the last 40 years. I am fluent in English, Italian and Spanish. I have extensive experience and training in Hakomi, Somatic Based Psychotherapy and EMDR. I have more than 15 years of experience with Santa Clara County, Department of Families and Children Services, providing support and services to individuals, children and families who have been involved with the Child Welfare System. I also have 5 years of experience providing therapeutic services at a Medical Hospital Specialized in Treating HIV/AIDS patients who suffer from Addiction, PTSD and Trauma.

Everyone deserves a safe space to process their trauma and mental health struggles. In my practice, I provide individuals, couples, children, adolescents and parents with a judgment free environment to be able to talk about/ express their emotions around difficult topics. I have experience in working with individuals who are struggling with Complex PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from childhood sexual abuse and other traumatic experiences as well as Depression, Anxiety . I am also trained to work with those who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, developmental disabilities, and their families to improve mental health.

We specialize in Trauma and PTSD. We work with individual adults who have a long history of childhood trauma, sexual violence and abuse, difficult family dynamics, intergenerational trauma, cultural differences with their parents, family members with substance use issues, social anxiety, phobia, and depression. We help you process what happened, attend to and be with your emotions without dissociating, and rather find relief from sharing the stories. We also work with people whose doctors have recommended seeking trauma therapy like EMDR therapy.

Do you ever feel unseen or misunderstood? Anxious and nervous when stepping into a social setting? Do you desire to speak your truth without worry or fear of what others might think? Do you wish to feel more confident in expressing your authentic self? Are you hoping therapy can provide a safe space to explore the complexities of identity? I am here to help you navigate these challenges and help you find healing, validation, and growth.
