Licensed Psychotherapist in San Rafael | Bush, Danielle
As a licensed psychotherapist with 15 years of experience across inpatient, outpatient, medical, forensic, and educational settings, I specialize in trauma recovery, EMDR therapy, and supporting Highly Sensitive People. My practice is rooted in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore emotional pain and develop personalized strategies for healing. I integrate evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to address Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors, while prioritizing social justice and cultural inclusivity. My approach emphasizes collaboration, client autonomy, and addressing root causes of distress rather than symptoms alone.With expertise in treating diverse populations across racial, economic, and gender identities, I offer both in-person sessions in Marin County and HIPAA-compliant online therapy for California residents. I am certified in EMDR through the Parnell Institute and trained in BFRB treatment by the TLC Foundation, ensuring up-to-date, effective care. My practice reflects a deep commitment to helping clients transform emotional challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.

Questions
What is EMDR therapy and how does it work?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy for trauma that uses bilateral stimulation to help process distressing memories. It's endorsed by the APA and WHO for PTSD treatment.
Do you offer online therapy sessions?
Yes, I provide HIPAA-compliant online therapy for California residents, offering flexibility for those with scheduling or mobility challenges.
What are Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs)?
BFRBs include hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting that become compulsive. I use evidence-based treatments like the ComB model to address these behaviors and their emotional impacts.
How do you support Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)?
I help HSPs develop coping strategies for sensory overwhelm, boundary-setting, and self-care while reframing sensitivity as a strength rather than a limitation.
Is therapy right for someone new to mental health support?
Absolutely. I work with clients at all stages of their mental health journey, providing a non-judgmental space to explore challenges and build resilience.
