The pressure of leading, making decisions, managing people, and feeling responsible for what happens does not stay contained within the workday.
A difficult quarter can feel personal.
An employee problem can feel personal.
Feedback can feel personal.
The fear of disappointing people can influence decisions you know need to be made.
The business affects you. And what is happening within you affects how you lead, work, and live.
Therapy provides a confidential place to understand both.
The harder question is often why doing something different feels so difficult.
That is the work therapy allows us to explore.
Leadership Development focuses on the responsibilities and skills involved in leading people.
Therapy focuses on the personal experiences, emotions, beliefs, and patterns that influence how you lead.
Leadership Development may help you prepare for a difficult conversation.
Therapy may explore why conflict feels threatening, why you fear disappointing someone, or why another person's reaction feels like something you need to prevent or control.
Leadership Development may help you delegate more clearly.
Therapy may explore why trusting someone else feels uncomfortable, why you take the work back, or why being less involved makes you question your value.
Leadership Development may help you step into a larger role.
Therapy may explore the past experiences and beliefs that make you question whether you are capable of leading—such as having worked under a difficult boss, never seeing leadership modeled well, or believing you are not outgoing, confident, assertive, or experienced enough to lead a team.
The two forms of work can complement each other, but they are not interchangeable.
When Danielle is providing Leadership Development, the work remains focused on leadership. Therapy is provided separately as a clinical service with its own boundaries, responsibilities, and purpose.
Therapy is shaped by your individual needs, history, and goals. Our work may include:
The goal is not only to change the behavior.
It is to understand where the behavior came from, what it has been protecting you from, and whether it is still helping you lead and live the way you want to.
When another service or provider would better meet your needs, Danielle will be direct about that and refer you to it.
Therapeutic Services by Orbsi are provided by Danielle Nunes, LMFT, as a separate clinical psychotherapy service for individual adults located in California.
This clinical service is separate from Orbsi’s Company Redesign, Leadership Development, and Founder Advisory work, with its own therapeutic relationship, documentation, confidentiality requirements, boundaries, and purpose.
Danielle’s approach is practical, direct, and grounded in evidence-based therapy. The work may draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance-based approaches, and other clinical methods based on your needs and treatment goals.
Therapy is provided through telehealth. Clients must be physically located in California at the time of each appointment.
Therapy is confidential within the limits required by California law and the professional and ethical standards governing psychotherapy.
Some insurance plans are accepted.
Session fees and the cancellation policy are reviewed before your first appointment.
