Danielle Nunes, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Danielle!

I am a therapist, business owner, and consultant with 15+ years in leadership and operations. I work with founders and organizational leaders navigating burnout, identity shifts, perfectionism, the pressure of 'always being on' and the tension between the life you're building and the life you're living.

My focus

I work with founders and organizational leaders — high-functioning, self-aware, and carrying more than they let on. Burnout, anxiety, identity shifts, relationship strain — and the hard conversations they're avoiding or not landing the way they want. I help them lead from a place that's sustainable and feels like them again.

My approach

Direct, structured, and action-oriented. Every session has intention- we're not just processing feelings; we're identifying patterns and leaving with something you can actually put to work. Real change happens in the room and in real life. I help you do both.

My communication style

Warm and direct. I'll meet you where you are, but I won't let you stay stuck there. Expect honesty, structure, and a space where you can actually say the thing you can't say anywhere else.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started in business, found psychology, and spent 14 years climbing the corporate ladder in mental health leading large teams and multi-location businesses. I've always believed business and psychology go hand in hand. Real leadership requires emotional capacity, not just strategy. My practice is where both worlds meet.

My goals for you

Sessions are structured and intentional. We identify your goals early, track progress, and leave each session with something concrete to work on. I'm a believer that insight without action keeps you stuck, so we make sure what we discuss in our conversations actually shows up in your life.

Our first session

During the first session, I want to get to know you. Your background, what's bringing you to session, and what you want to walk away with after our work together. We'll align on goals, set expectations, and make sure our work together is as intentional as possible from day one.
