Daphne Rosales, LCSW #114632

My name is Daphne Rosales (she/her/hers), a licensed clinical social worker specializing in working with individuals healing from issues related to eating disorders, PTSD, C-PTSD, racial trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, I am dedicated to working with individuals on the dissociative spectrum, including OSDD and DID.

I provide an individualized approach to each person based on the needs of the client, as I believe that therapy can be designed to fit the mold of the individual sitting across from me. As a clinician, I come from a curious, empathetic, culturally humble stance where providing a safe space for all bodies comes first, aiming to be LGBTQIA+ affirming and a social justice advocate.

In my work, I use a combination of EMDR, Brainspotting, Parts Work/IFS, and DBT.

Within the therapeutic space, I will work with you towards developing an internal sense of security by identifying and implementing coping/regulatory skills, reprocessing trauma, and learning to trust yourself and your body. When the body stores trauma, it can be scary to rely on the emotions and sensations that the body experiences. Together, we will practice providing compassion and curiosity towards the way you learned to survive.
