Daria Stepanian-Duhancioglu

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Brainspotting Practitioner who works with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, codependency, and life transitions. I often work with people who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck internally. My training includes Brainspotting, trauma-informed therapy, attachment work, CBT, mindfulness, somatic awareness, inner child work, and IFS-informed approaches. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. Rather than telling you what to do, I help you understand yourself more deeply and reconnect with your own voice and needs. We’ll explore not only your thoughts and emotions, but also the patterns, past experiences, and nervous-system responses that may be keeping you stuck. I tailor therapy to you, integrating talk therapy, Brainspotting, attachment work, and somatic approaches based on what you need.

Our first session is a chance for me to get to know you and understand what is bringing you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, relevant parts of your history, and what you hope to get out of our work together. You don’t need to know exactly what to say or share everything at once. We’ll move at your pace and begin identifying where you’d like to start.
