Eva Palma

I am a compassionate, trauma-informed, and resilience-focused clinician dedicated to helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate difficult life experiences and find a path toward healing.

I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from Rutgers University and a second Master’s degree in Education with a focus on trauma and resilience. My education and specialized training have strengthened my understanding of how trauma and life experiences can impact emotional well-being, relationships, behavior, and family dynamics.

I am certified in trauma-informed and resilience-focused practice, with additional certifications and training in Nurturing Parenting, Sand Play Therapy, and LSW supervision.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. Whether working with a child, adult, or family, I meet clients where they are and help them develop the insight, coping skills, and resilience needed to move forward.

I believe therapy is not about changing who you are—it is about understanding your experiences, recognizing your strengths, and creating the tools needed to heal and grow.

My clinical work focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, emotional challenges, and family and parenting concerns. I use a solution-focused approach and other therapeutic approaches to help clients recognize their strengths, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful change.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin creating a safe, comfortable, and supportive therapeutic relationship. I will listen to your concerns, learn about what brought you to therapy, and gain an understanding of your experiences, strengths, challenges, and goals.

Most importantly, the first session is the beginning of a collaborative process. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you and work together toward healing, growth, and lasting positive change.
