Counseling & Psychotherapy in Venice, CA
Intuitive Therapy | Danielle Birrittella, LMFT
I offer depth-oriented, trauma-informed psychotherapy that honors the complexity of the human experience, integrating psychological rigor with creativity, imagination, and a deep respect for the process of self-discovery.
My integrative approach draws on Depth Psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Practices, Expressive Arts, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Together, these modalities create a reflective and dynamic space to explore the unconscious, reconnect with the authentic self, and engage with emotional and creative material in meaningful ways.
Through this work, I support individuals, couples, and families in cultivating greater self-awareness, accessing inner resilience, and developing more conscious, sustainable relationships with themselves and others—fostering healing, growth, and individuation.
“Our job in this life is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it.”

THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES & APPROACHES
-

Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a modality that helps us reframe the totality of our experience as individual parts which have specific roles in our psychological system. By coming to know these parts we can achieve increased capacity to heal internal conflicts and increase self-awareness.
-

Jungian Depth Approaches
A profound approach to understanding the human psyche. Grounded in depth psychology and psychodynamic traditions, this work attends to unconscious patterns, inner dynamics, and the symbolic dimensions of experience that shape meaning, identity, and long-term change.
-

Somatic & Embodied Approaches
Somatic practices support awareness of bodily experience and nervous-system regulation, allowing psychological material to be processed in a paced, embodied, and sustainable way. By attending to the effects of trauma held in the nervous system, this work supports greater internal safety, mind–body integration, and resilience.
-

Expressive & Creative Process
Expressive Arts Therapy is a therapeutic approach that engages various art forms—such as visual arts, music, dance, and drama—to facilitate self-expression and healing. Creative activities can help us process emotions and explore our inner world.

Virtual therapy offers the flexibility to meet from the comfort and privacy of your own space while maintaining the same level of care and connection as in-person therapy.
-
I am an out-of-network practice and do not bill insurance directly. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, we’re happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
Because every insurance plan is different, I recommend contacting your provider before beginning therapy.

What percentage of each session will be reimbursed?
Is there a deductible I need to meet first?
Are there limits on the number of therapy sessions covered?
