Therapy Grounded in Compassion, Relationship, and Understanding

At Palazzolo Therapy, we work collaboratively to explore the patterns, relationships, and inner experiences shaping your life—so that healing, clarity, and meaningful change become possible.

Our Approach

A Collaborative and Compassion-Focused Approach to Therapy

Our work is grounded in the belief that emotional experiences develop within relationships and life history. Rather than pathologizing distress, we focus on understanding it.

We integrate several evidence-informed approaches, including:

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) to understand the different parts of ourselves

  • Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to reduce shame and self-criticism

  • Systemic Family Therapy to explore the relational patterns shaping our lives

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Together, these approaches help people develop deeper self-awareness, compassion, and more supportive relationships.

Areas of Support

Therapy for Individuals, Couples, and Families

We support people navigating a wide range of life experiences, including:

  • Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions

  • Relationship and family conflict

  • Trauma and intergenerational patterns

  • Identity exploration and self-understanding

  • Experiences such as voice hearing or strong beliefs

  • Supporting loved ones experiencing psychosis

Our work often includes family members, partners, or caregivers, helping everyone better understand what’s happening and how to move forward together.

For Families
& Caregivers

You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone

When someone you love is experiencing distress—especially experiences related to psychosis—it can be confusing, isolating, and overwhelming.

Therapy offers a space where families can:

  • Improve communication and understanding

  • Explore different perspectives safely

  • Reduce blame and isolation

  • Strengthen connection and support

The goal is not simply to “fix” a problem, but to help everyone feel more grounded, connected, and supported.
