Where self discovery meets lasting transformation.

Vreny Palacios, LCSW #91853

“Therapy is not a quick fix—it’s a journey of self-discovery, a process of unraveling and understanding the layers of who we are.”

Redefining Success on Your Own Terms

I work with individuals who are accustomed to navigating complex worlds—whether it's the public spotlight, high-pressure careers, or the constant push for achievement—and yet find themselves stuck in patterns that no longer align with their true selves. Together, we explore what’s beneath the surface, untangle deep-seated beliefs, and make sense of experiences that might feel fragmented or out of place.

Whether you're navigating success that feels emptier than expected, unraveling relationship dynamics, or confronting the emotional weight of trauma, anxiety, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you find clarity and move forward with a greater sense of intention.

Therapy is about connecting the dots, understanding hidden threads that shape your life and finding ways to step forward with awareness and purpose.

With nearly a decade of experience, I specialize in working with ambitious, high-achieving individuals—those who juggle multiple roles and identities and yet often feel disconnected from their deeper selves.

My approach for Individual Therapy & EMDR Therapy blends insight with action, helping clients navigate complexity with clarity and purpose.

  • Relational approach that fosters trust and self-discovery.

  • Psychodynamic, existential, and feminist frameworks for deeper awareness.

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) tools for emotional regulation & healthier relationships.

A Unique Path to Understanding

A diverse background in advocacy, politics, and high-performance spaces shapes my nuanced approach to therapy.

  • Supporting vulnerable individuals taught me the importance of resilience, trust, and navigating complex emotional landscapes.

  • Working in high-stakes environments sharpened my ability to read unspoken dynamics and support those under pressure.

  • Experience in elite hospitality refined my skills in discretion, adaptability, and meeting people where they are.

  • These diverse experiences help me support clients navigating identity, success, and personal growth with depth and insight.

Our work together is conversational—sometimes unexpected—but always focused on uncovering the truths that will help you move forward in an authentic and grounded way.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and deeply insightful. I listen intently, ask the hard questions, and offer a space where you can process what feels unspeakable or overwhelming.

Outside of sessions, you’ll find me hunting for vintage treasures, exploring new restaurants, or checking off the next national park on my list.
