Getting to know Darlene Brace

I believe healing happens when people feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. I provide a warm, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive space where clients can explore difficult experiences, strengthen their relationships, and reconnect with themselves. My approach integrates evidence-based therapy with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and practical tools tailored to each client’s needs, identity, and goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I create a supportive space where you can show up as you are while we explore the experiences and patterns affecting your life. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and tailored to your needs, drawing from EMDR, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and body-based practices. During our first few sessions, we will discuss what brings you to therapy, identify your strengths and goals, and decide together what approach feels most helpful.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first few sessions focus on getting to know you, understanding what brings you to therapy, and identifying your strengths and goals. Together, we will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. In a typical session, we may explore current concerns, identify patterns, process past experiences, and practice tools you can use between appointments. I regularly check in about what is or is not working so therapy remains collaborative, meaningful, and responsive to you.
