Getting to know Darla Cozzarelli

Hi there, I'm Darla! I’m a licensed therapist working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative, blending insight-oriented work with practical strategies to support meaningful, sustainable change. My focus Many of my clients are reflective and motivated for growth, but feel stuck in recurring emotional or relational patterns. They want greater clarity, steadiness, and confidence while building practical skills to navigate stress and relationships more effectively. My approach My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic principles. I help clients explore patterns shaped by past experiences while also building tools for emotional regulation, communication, and coping in daily life. My communication style My style is warm, grounded, and thoughtful. I create a supportive space where clients feel heard while also gently challenging unhelpful patterns. Sessions balance reflection with practical guidance and collaboration. My journey to mental healthcare My work is shaped by both professional training and personal experiences navigating mental health in my family. Experience in community mental health strengthened my ability to remain steady in complex situations and deepened my commitment to compassionate care. My goals for you I work with clients to clarify meaningful goals and move toward them in realistic, manageable ways. We combine reflection and practical tools, checking in regularly while allowing room for flexibility and growth at a steady pace. Our first session In our first session, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain. I’ll ask thoughtful questions about your history, current stressors, and strengths. We’ll clarify goals and make sure we feel like a good fit. You can expect a calm, supportive space for openness and curiosity.
