You don’t have to relive your trauma to heal it.
Get the relief you’ve been searching for — with therapies that are gentle, brain-based, and actually work.
You’ve done talk therapy. You’ve read the books. You know why you feel the way you do—
but nothing’s really changed.
Trauma doesn’t just live in your memories.
It lives in your body and nervous system.
Maybe you:
✔️ Have trouble sleeping or staying present
✔️ Feel on edge, irritable or emotionally numb
✔️ Avoid things that remind you of the trauma
✔️ Beat yourself up for being “too sensitive” or “too much”
✔️ Have trouble trusting people or being yourself
✔️ Keep thinking you should be “over it by now”
You’re not broken. You’re human — and your brain has been trying to protect you.

A Message From Our Owner
Welcome
Hi, I’m Vanessa Palomera, LMFT and founder of Serene Butterfly Counseling. As a trauma therapist, mom, and neurodivergent Latina, I know what it’s like to carry invisible wounds and still try to hold everything together.
Our team specializes in helping sensitive, high-functioning people (many of whom are neurodivergent or cycle-breakers) find deep, lasting healing — without rehashing your worst memories, spending years talking through things without deep relief, or surface level recommendations like “change your thought patterns”.
You deserve therapy that works with your brain, not against it.
Let us show you how.
