Getting to know Danielle Sumida

Danielle Sumida is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been practicing as a psychotherapist since 2016. She graduated from California State University, Long Beach, with a Master’s degree in Social Work, specializing in Integrated Health. Danielle approaches therapy using a blend of theoretical orientations, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment-based theory, and family systems theory. She integrates these with treatment modalities such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gestalt Therapy, and processing thoughts and feelings through the “here and now” approach. She also incorporates helpful techniques like grounding and mindfulness, while encouraging a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle for her clients. In her spare time, Danielle enjoys spending time with her pets, playing beach volleyball, exploring the outdoors, savoring a great cup of coffee, and indulging in anything Disney-related. She writes: As humans, we all share the universal experience of pain, heartache, and grief, yet each of us is an individual with unique personalities, passions, needs, and desires. I work hard to ensure my clients are seen and heard distinctly for their individuality, while also reminding them they are not alone on their journey. I believe true healing arises not solely from what the therapist brings to the session but from the beautiful connection and foundational relationship formed between therapist and client through safety, trust, stability, consistency, and vulnerability. Being truly seen, heard, and accepted for who we are allows the best healing work to take place. I look forward to meeting with you to work together to find your voice, cultivate hope, and promote self-awareness, growth, and peace.
