Creating space for healing to take root ·

When stress, change, or unresolved experiences begin to take a toll, it can show up in subtle and persistent ways.

You might be noticing ongoing challenges such as:

  • Disconnected from yourself, others, and the world around you

  • On edge, emotionally numb, or easily overwhelmed

  • Difficulty trusting yourself or others

  • Recurring conflict, distance, or miscommunication in close relationships

  • Struggling to express needs, set boundaries, and feel understood

  • Constantly managing your reactions just to get through the day

Hi, I’m Destinee Walden, LCSW

Hi, I’m Destinee, a trauma-informed therapist and the founder of Sacred Willow Therapy. I work with teens, adults, families, and co-parents who are navigating the effects of trauma, complex relationships, and periods of emotional overwhelm.

My approach is shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I know what it’s like to search for support that feels genuine, grounded, and attuned, and that perspective informs how I show up in this work. I bring a warm, relational, and collaborative style to therapy, with a focus on helping people better understand themselves, their patterns, and their relationships in ways that feel steady and meaningful.
