Somatic + IFS-based online therapy · California
For Women Navigating Chronic Stress, Anxiety, Hormonal Changes, and the Emotional Impact of an Autoimmune Diagnosis.
Cis and trans women, and anyone who relates to this experience, are welcome here.
If you've spent years taking care of everyone but yourself and now feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unfamiliar in your own body, this space is for you.
You might be here because…
You’re used to holding everything together. You continue showing up for others, but chronic stress, hormonal changes, or an autoimmune diagnosis may have left you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unfamiliar in your own body.
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 related to an autoimmune diagnosis
Feeling unheard, confused, or alone while navigating healthcare
Pressure to continue caring for others while your own needs are changing
Difficulty adjusting to a body or life that no longer feels familiar
There is nothing wrong with you. Your mind and body have been responding to a great deal, and you don’t have to carry it alone.
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
This space is for women — cis and trans — and anyone who relates to this experience of holding it all together.
This may be a good fit for you if you:
Are often the person others depend on, with little space devoted to your own experience
Have insight into yourself but want therapy that goes beyond talking and analyzing
Want to understand how your history may be shaping your relationships, emotions, and responses today
Are navigating the emotional impact of chronic stress, health concerns, hormonal changes, or a major life transition
Want your culture, identity, neurotype, and lived experience to be understood as meaningful parts of who you are
Prefer a collaborative approach that moves with care rather than pressure
You don’t need to arrive with the right words, a clearly defined goal, or a perfectly organized story. We can begin with what feels most present and explore it together at a pace that feels manageable.
You are welcome here without having to minimize, defend, or justify 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.
