Find a Therapist in United States

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to practice as a therapist; there is nothing I would rather do. I received my training in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and now practice depth psychotherapy with the Center for Mindful Psychotherapy in San Francisco. Before becoming a therapist, I gained valuable experience working in government and business, both internationally and cross-culturally. These experiences have enriched my understanding of diverse perspectives and complex human dynamics, deepening my capacities as a therapist. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, focusing on uncovering the core issues affecting individuals and couples. I hold a deeply rooted belief in the transformative power of psychotherapy to foster healing and growth.  

I work towards engaging from a compassionate, anti-oppressive, and trauma informed positionality. One of my focuses is on collaborating to better understand yourself(selves) as integrated mind/body/spirit/social/relational being(s) (soma) and reprocessing what your soma(s) hold. Some of the ways in which we can do this is through building upon the stories that empower you , learning skills for personal and/or interpersonal fulfillment. We all deserve to live our lives liberated from the reactive survival responses of trauma.  

My background in mental healthcare enables me to bring a new perspective to people navigating stressful transitions and confronting difficult issues in their lives. I help people move forward with self compassion and increased understanding of themselves and others. The treatment I do is designed to meet individual concerns and needs. Greater clarity and new insights lead to successful resolutions.  

When we bring compassion, curiosity, and courage into how we relate to ourselves, it opens space to understand our emotions more deeply, trust our inner voice, and move toward a life that feels more aligned. I care deeply about this work because I believe real change starts in that relationship with ourselves.  

The therapeutic process has the ability to transform. I am living proof of this. At my lowest point, I was anxious, depressed, suicidal, and trapped in an addiction to alcohol and Adderall. With the help of a skilled therapist, I was able to come out of this darkness - inspiring me to leave a successful business in order to help others who are suffering. I believe that everyone deserves a fighting chance to overcome trauma and abuse and live a rich, full, and satisfying life. I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I believe we are all deserving of unconditional love. I hold the hope for my clients when they are drowning in hopelessness. I approach my life and my work through a feminist, anti-oppression, anti-racist, and body-positive perspective. I am passionate about animal rescue and shelter pets. If any of this resonates with you, please shoot me a message and let's find a time to connect.  

Life brings challenges—but you don’t have to navigate them alone. At Monarch, our compassionate therapists walk alongside you, creating a safe space to heal, grow, and rediscover hope. Whether you need testing, counseling, or both, our team is here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. It all starts with one conversation.  

I believe therapy works best when it feels human, safe, and grounded — not rushed or overly clinical. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and outwardly “doing fine,” yet inside feel anxious, disconnected, or worn down by constant self-pressure. My role as a therapist is to help you slow things down enough to listen to what’s really happening beneath the surface. Together, we create space for greater clarity, emotional regulation, and self-trust — so you’re not just getting through life, but actually feeling present in it.  

The men I work with care deeply about their relationships. They want to be steady, reliable, emotionally present partners. But no one ever taught them how to do that. They were raised to provide, protect, and stay composed. Now they’re being asked for emotional openness, honest communication, and vulnerability—and they’re trying to figure out how to meet those expectations without shutting down or getting angry. If you’ve ever thought, I want to be a better partner, but I don’t know where to start, you’re in the right place.  

If you are struggling with an anxiety disorder that is making it difficult for you to function in any area of your life, there is help to recover. I have worked with many clients over the last 20+ years in the treatment of panic attacks, phobias, OCD, intrusive thoughts, social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder and many related fears. I have also helped many clients process past traumas that caused PTSD or c-PSTD is a safe, compassionate setting. People often have difficulties in romantic relationships and dating due to insecure attachment styles such as anxious-preoccupied or dismissive-avoidant. I work with clients to develop a earned secure attachment style. I also have experience treating clients with chronic illness and narcissistic abuse syndrome. This is an individualized approach to meet you where you are as well as a safe and compassionate approach to therapy. You do not have to struggle, recovery is possible.  

I'm Dr. Danielle Watkins, licensed psychotherapist and perinatal mental health specialist. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, tearful, alone, irritable, or unlike yourself while trying to conceive, during pregnancy or after baby arrives, you are not alone. I specialize in perinatal mental health and help individuals and couples navigate the emotional complexities of trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. I primarily work with clients experiencing postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or postpartum OCD, birth trauma, pregnancy loss, infertility stress, and identity shifts. Many of my clients are high-functioning, capable people who feel surprised by how hard this season feels. Together, we create a space where you can speak openly without guilt or judgment and explore strategies to help you feel like yourself again.  

I am a psychologist that is passionate about all of us living the fully awake and vibrant lives we are meant to. Sometimes this involves healing from the past, other times it means working towards visioning and creating the future, oftentimes both. It generally involves some insight but also a good dose of experiential tools and learning about your central nervous system and how to both understand and work with it, what we call both top down and bottom up tools. Ready for real change and willing to do the work? (yep it is work but well worth it) Let's go.

My clinical focus is working with individuals affected by compulsive sexual behavior disorder and with their partners, who often experience profound betrayal trauma. I support clients in identifying the underlying factors that contribute to compulsive behaviors while also helping partners heal and set the appropriate boundaries to keep themselves safe as they heal. My approach is grounded in clarity, accountability, and healing for both individuals and relationships.  

I believe therapy works best when it is both grounded and genuinely human. My approach is collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients understand what is happening beneath the surface rather than simply managing symptoms. I work with people who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship conflict, or emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who are used to pushing through but know something deeper needs attention. My clinical work draws from evidence-based and experiential approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems-informed therapy, clinical hypnosis, and other trauma-focused methods. I am especially interested in how the nervous system, memory, emotion, and identity all interact in the healing process. I aim to create a therapy space that is direct but compassionate, supportive but not passive. Together, we will work toward helping you make sense of your experience, reduce distress, and build a more flexible, connected way of living

Relationships can bring our deepest joy, but they can also surface painful patterns. If you and your partner find yourselves caught in the same arguments, struggling to truly hear one another, or feeling emotionally distant, you’re not alone. Many couples reach a point where communication breaks down and the connection they once felt begins to feel strained or uncertain. Sometimes earlier life experiences, family patterns, or stressors quietly shape the way we relate, making it harder to stay close even when the love is still there. With more than two decades of experience working with couples, I help partners slow down the cycle of conflict and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in relational and attachment-based work. I support couples in developing healthier communication, repairing emotional wounds, and building a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy. I’m also particularly attuned to the needs of highly sensitive people and those who want a thoughtful, depth-oriented approach to relationship growth. Whether you’re preparing for a deeper commitment, working to repair trust after a rupture, or trying to rediscover connection after years together, therapy can offer a meaningful path forward. I also support individuals navigating dating, heartbreak, or relationship transitions. Together we’ll work toward clearer communication, emotional safety, and a relationship that feels more conscious, supportive, and alive. If you’d like to explore whether this work might be a good fit, feel free to reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation.
