Great to meet you!

Welcome! I’m Rhonda Palmer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, human being, and a big believer that change happens best in a space that feels safe, real, and judgment free. I have over 17 years of experience in Social Work, and I'm licensed in Missouri, Texas, and Arizona. I often assist Highly Sensitive People in navigating anxiety, relationship patterns, self esteem, neurodivergent experiences (including autism and ADHD), and more. I’m also certified as a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional and Autism Spectrum Clinical Specialist.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself to be accepted, this is your space to drop the mask. I don’t believe in “fixing” who you are. Instead, I believe in helping you understand yourself, work passed old wounds, and to support you in working towards building a life for yourself that honors your strengths. I work best with people who are ready to be real, even if “real” means messy, unsure, or figuring it out one step at a time. You don’t need to impress me or get everything “right.” However, you do need to show up with honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and a willingness to grow because that’s how real change happens. During our sessions, we’ll work together in a way that feels collaborative, respectful, and grounded. I’ll bring compassion and care, but I’ll also hold boundaries so our space stays safe and balanced.

I don’t work well with people looking to control others, avoid responsibility, or seek validation without reflection.

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” - Albert Einstein“

It always seems impossible until it’s done.” - Nelson Mandela

If you’re ready for this kind of work, I welcome you.

My approach to therapy

During our sessions, I’ll utilize therapeutic modalities such as CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution Focused Therapy, and Brainspotting. Mostly, I’ll bring empathy, humor, and the belief that you already have the wisdom inside of you, I’m just here to help you uncover it.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a calm, supportive space where you can be yourself. No pressure, no judgement. Together, we'll notice patterns, explore what matters to you, and start building practical strategies that help you move towards your goals in away that feels natural and empowering.
