Getting to know Darla Cozzarelli

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, trauma, and major life transitions. My clients are often seeking relief from persistent symptoms, clarity during difficult changes, or support in building a more stable and fulfilling life. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and trauma-informed, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) (changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors), Motivational Interviewing (strengthening motivation for change), Seeking Safety (coping skills for trauma and substance use), Psychodynamic (exploring how past experiences and relationships shape current patterns), Behavioral Activation (changing behavior patterns through reinforcement and habit-building strategies), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work (healing and understanding different parts of yourself, like your inner child or protector parts). Before private practice, I earned my degree from the University of Southern California and worked in community mental health, supporting individuals healing from trauma, navigating homelessness, and managing co-occurring disorders, including substance use, psychosis, and mood disorders. I also bring lived experience as an adoptee who has personally faced mental health challenges, which deepens my empathy and commitment to providing a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space. In our work together, we’ll explore what matters most to you, move at a pace that feels right, and adapt our approach as your needs evolve. Whether you’re processing your past, managing complex symptoms, or looking to build resilience, I’m here to walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and respect.
