Psychotherapy for Those Who Are Feeling Disconnected, Overwhelmed, or Stuck in Old Patterns

Psychotherapy That Goes Beyond Talking

If you’ve already tried “just talking” and still feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or looping, you’re not alone. My work integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches to support nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and a renewed sense of connection to yourself and to your life. Change happens gently, from the inside out.


I work with a limited number of clients to offer thoughtful, attentive care.

Start with a short intro video

You might be here because…

  • You notice old patterns repeating in relationships, work, or life transitions, and want something to truly shift

  • You feel disconnected from yourself, your body, or your sense of direction

  • Talking helps intellectually, but your body still feels on edge

  • You feel overwhelmed, numb, reactive, or shut down

  • You’re tired of “coping” and want real relief

  • You want therapy that goes deeper - without being re-traumatizing

If any of this resonates, you’re not broken - your nervous system is protecting you.

Together, we’ll explore how thoughts, emotions, and past experiences live in the body, and how, with awareness and care, healing and lasting change can grow.

Discover relief that feels different, not just talked about

Hi, I’m Daiana Chapman (she/her), a licensed 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) and somatic approaches that honor the wisdom of both body and mind.

I am deeply committed to offering an LGBTQIA+-affirming, inclusive, and culturally responsive space, where all identities and lived experiences are welcomed and respected.

I support teens, adults, couples, and families (ages 13–65) as they navigate life’s storms and seasons, including:

  • Anxiety, stress & overwhelm

  • Trauma, including generational experiences

  • Phobias

    Life transitions in relationships, family, or career

  • Neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, sensory differences)

  • Parents & families seeking more ease and connection

Many of the people I work with carry significant responsibilities, showing up for others and holding everything together on the outside, while inside they feel weighed down by worry, stress, or unresolved pain.

To ensure high-quality care, I intentionally keep a small caseload. I currently have a limited number of openings for clients interested in IFS and Somatic therapy.

Once these spaces are filled, I maintain a waitlist until availability opens again.

Who This Space Is For

I work with individuals who give so much of themselves to others, such as parents, caregivers, professionals, or teens striving to meet expectations, yet often feel exhausted, anxious, or disconnected on the inside.

I support:

  • Those carrying the weight of trauma or painful past experiences

  • Teens and adults who feel stuck, lost, or overwhelmed

  • Parents and families want more connection and ease

  • Individuals navigating big life changes in relationships, career, or identity

Together, we slow down and create a space where you don’t have to hold it all alone. My support is about helping you reconnect with yourself, lighten what feels heavy, and build the confidence and resilience to move forward in a way that feels authentic and whole.

Mind-Body Connection

My method integrates evidence-informed and compassionate practices, from a trained professional including:

  • Somatic Experiencing (SE): healing through the body’s wisdom

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): nurturing safe, 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.

This isn’t about fixing you - it’s about creating safety

Many forms of therapy focus on insight and analysis. While helpful, they don’t always reach the parts of you that are holding stress, fear, or old survival patterns.

My work integrates body-based awareness and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to gently help your system slow down, feel safer, and reorganize from the inside out at your pace.

My therapy takes a mind–body approach to care, honoring both your emotions and your nervous system.
