Desiree Aiko De Pace

"Desiree De Pace, LMFT, is deeply motivated by helping individuals reclaim their sense of agency, self-worth, and emotional balance. With over 18 years of experience in behavioral and mental health, she brings a compassionate yet direct approach to therapy — one that blends evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection. Her clinical style is integrative, drawing from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), and Psychodynamic Therapy. She tailors each session to meet her clients where they are — whether they are working through trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, or identity challenges. Desiree creates a collaborative and safe therapeutic space grounded in cultural competence, inclusion, and equity. She works with individuals across diverse backgrounds, including children, teens, adults, elders, and LGBTQ+ clients. Her goal is to help clients find clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of self — even in life’s most difficult moments."
