Start Your Healing Journey

You're in the right place if...

You feel stuck in patterns of shame, anger, emotional numbness, or self-doubt, often without a clear cause.
You’ve survived emotional neglect, controlling relationships, or narcissistic dynamics, but haven’t felt seen or helped by traditional therapy.
You’ve been labeled with terms like borderline, codependent, or incel, and want support without judgment or pathologizing.
You identify as LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, or gender nonconforming and need a therapist who affirms complexity over conformity.
You’ve grown tired of performing. You want therapy that is deep, structured, and collaborative, not superficial or standardized.
You’re a person who feels emotionally disconnected, resentful, or confused in relationships, and you're ready to understand why.
You’re an expat or international navigating loneliness, cultural mismatch, or identity tension far from home.
You want therapy that helps you understand how protective strategies formed, and how to move beyond them.

You don’t need a diagnosis to begin. You just need curiosity and the willingness to look.

Our Services

Individual Counseling

Compassionate, structured support for adults and young adults working through trauma, anxiety, low self-worth, or emotional numbness. Sessions are online and adapted to your pace and needs.

Schema-Informed Therapy

We work with deep-rooted patterns and beliefs shaped by early experiences; often those affecting relationships, self-image, and emotion regulation. Grounded in schema therapy, this approach supports lasting change.

Trauma & Complex PTSD Support

Focused work on emotional wounds rooted in neglect, abuse, narcissistic parenting or early attachment rupture. Our trauma-informed approach integrates schema and psychodynamic frameworks to help shift long-standing protective strategies.

Couples Counseling

For couples facing conflict, trust issues, or emotional disconnection. Sessions help partners understand each other’s needs, shift communication patterns, and rebuild emotional connection.

Therapy for Expats & International Clients

Online therapy in English, German, or Italian. We support clients navigating identity tension, cultural alienation, and emotional dislocation from community, family, or self - wherever they are in the world.

“It took me a long time to trust someone with my feelings, but Leilani made it easy. She never pushes, and helped me open up at my own pace.”

“Raffaele just got it. Sometimes I couldn’t even explain what I was feeling, but he helped me make sense of it—without needing to say much.”

“Leilani’s presence changed how I think about trust. I usually keep distance with people in authority, but she helped me feel safe enough to connect.”

Raffaele Fazio

Trauma-Informed Psychologist for Emotional Chaos, Trust Issues & Relational Wounds

I work with people who feel stuck - often after years of emotional neglect, narcissistic abuse, or relational trauma. Many live with chronic shame, emotional numbness, or a deep sense of isolation. Some have been called codependent, borderline, or incel. These labels may name pain, but they rarely offer a way forward.

My approach is grounded in schema therapy, attachment theory, and psychodynamic thought. I work with people navigating identity disruption, emotional disconnection, chronic self-criticism, and patterns that feel hard to break. Sessions are structured, collaborative, and paced to meet you where you are - no performance required.

Alongside clinical practice, I teach psychology and statistics at university level. My teaching informs my clinical work and vice versa: both depend on clarity, attention, empathy, and deep respect for complexity.
My work is affirming of gender, sexual, and neurodivergent identities.

Leilani Bömer

Counseling for Trauma, Emotional Abuse & Complex Family or Relationship Dynamics

I often work with clients navigating the aftermath of relational harm; whether it stems from childhood trauma or emotional neglect. My clinical focus includes survivors of narcissistic abuse, but the work reaches further: grief, identity shifts, emotional dysregulation, and the quiet confusion of chronic invalidation. But more than anything, what drives me is you: your story, your resilience, and the person you are beyond the pain.

I work affirmatively with LGBTQIA+ clients and with individuals exploring identity, intimacy, or the effects of systemic stress. My multicultural background -growing up across the U.S., Japan, Germany, and Czechia- deepens my commitment to culturally attuned care.

This work isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about helping you move with more clarity, trust, and emotional peace.
