Somatic + IFS-Based Online Therapy in California
For Women Who Take Care of Everyone but Feel Disconnected From Themselves
You’re often the person others depend on. But lately, chronic stress, anxiety, hormonal changes, or the emotional impact of an autoimmune diagnosis may have left you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unfamiliar in your own body.
An inclusive and affirming space for cisgender and transgender women, as well as anyone who sees themselves reflected in this experience.
You might be here because…
You’re often the person others depend on. Even while your body, needs, or circumstances are changing, you may feel pressure to keep going and hold everything together.
You may be experiencing:
Anxiety, overwhelm, or feeling mentally “on” most of the time
Exhaustion, tension, irritability, or difficulty fully resting
Changes in your mood, sleep, energy, or relationship with your body
Fear, uncertainty, or grief following an autoimmune diagnosis
Feeling unheard, confused, or alone while navigating healthcare
Guilt or discomfort when prioritizing your own needs
A growing sense that you no longer feel like yourself
You don’t have to navigate these changes alone. Therapy can offer space to understand what your mind and body have been carrying and support greater steadiness, at your own pace.
Hi, I’m Daiana Chapman (she/her), an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #153249), practicing under the guidance of Beverly G. Fuentes (LMFT #106356)
My work is holistic and integrative, grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic approaches that honor the wisdom of both body and mind.
I am deeply committed to offering an affirming, inclusive, and culturally responsive space where different identities, cultural experiences, and ways of being are respected and held with care.
I intentionally maintain a small caseload so every client receives thoughtful, individualized care. I currently have a limited number of openings for clients seeking IFS-informed, Brainspotting, and somatic therapy.
Once those spaces are filled, I maintain a waitlist until availability opens.

These reflections come from former supervisors and colleagues. Out of respect for confidentiality and California ethical standards, client reviews are not shared. This choice reflects how seriously I take my clinical work.
Who This Space Is For
A space for women who are ready to make room for themselves, too.
* An inclusive and affirming space for cisgender and transgender women, as well as anyone who sees themselves reflected in this experience.
This may feel like a good fit if you:
Are often the person others rely on and find it difficult to prioritize your own needs
Appear capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, depleted, or disconnected inside
Understand yourself intellectually but want therapy that includes your emotions and body
Want to explore how past experiences may influence your relationships and responses today
Are adjusting to hormonal changes, health concerns, an autoimmune diagnosis, or another significant life transition
Want your identity, culture, neurotype, and lived experience to be respected and understood
Prefer a collaborative approach that honors your pace without pressure
You don’t need to know exactly where to begin or have the right words. We can start with what feels most present and explore it together at a pace that feels manageable.
You are welcome to show up as you are—without minimizing your needs or explaining who you are.
Mind-Body Connection
This isn’t about fixing you; it’s about creating space for your system to begin to settle and respond differently, at your own pace.
Many forms of therapy focus on insight and analysis. While helpful, they don’t always reach the parts of you where stress, fear, or old survival patterns are stored.
My work integrates body-based awareness and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to gently support your system in beginning to feel more settled and supported, allowing change to unfold from the inside out.
This is a space to slow down, with care and curiosity, where your thoughts, emotions, and body are all part of the process.
My approach integrates evidence-informed and compassionate practices, bringing together body-based and relational practices that support how you experience yourself, not just how you understand things.
Somatic Experiencing (SE): supporting how your body processes stress and experience
Brainspotting: creates the space for your brain to process what words alone cannot reach
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): nurturing, supportive, connected relationships
Polyvagal Theory: supporting nervous system regulation & resilience
Internal Family Systems (IFS): bringing curiosity & care to all parts of you
Mindfulness practices: cultivating presence, balance, & self-awareness
Together, we’ll gently explore what’s beneath the surface, supporting your whole self with curiosity and compassion.
This is a space to reconnect, find balance, and grow at your own pace.
