The Foundation of Our Practice
Depth Psychotherapy I Venice, CA

DANIELLE BIRRITTELLA, LMFT, MA, MFA

Founder, Supervisor, Psychotherapist

Danielle is a psychotherapist and artist whose clinical work is informed by Depth Psychology, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experience, Expressive Arts, and Psychodynamics

Our work supports clients in becoming more conscious of the narratives, patterns, and inner dynamics that have shaped their lives. Through depth-oriented psychotherapy, she helps create space for new understanding, meaning-making, and more honest self-expression.

01

MAKING THE UNCONSCIOUS CONSCIOUS

HONORING THE WISDOM BENEATH THE SYMPTOMS

02

We hold reverence for the wisdom of the psyche, integrating Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experience, Imaginal Psychology, Expressive Arts, Attachment Theory, Psychoanalytic, and Narrative therapies. Our approach is trauma-informed, relational, and attentive to both the nervous system and the deeper material seeking expression.

03

PSYCHOTHERAPY AS A CREATIVE ACT OF BECOMING

As both a psychotherapist and practicing artist, Danielle brings a unique perspective to the intersection of creativity and mental health. She works with artists, creative entrepreneurs, couples, men exploring intimacy, families navigating trauma or divorce, young adults, fertility-related experiences, body image, recovery, and those seeking deeper connection with themselves and others.

“I would like to beg of you, dear friend, as well as I can, to have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart.Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer some distant day.”

— Rainer Maria Rilke
