Pensive Woman Thinking

​Self-aware, stuck, and quietly exhausted? In a constant battle with your brain and your body? 
Does life feel messy?
Longing for change but not sure how to start?

Kerry Martinelli, LMFT

Neurodivergent, Eating Disorder, & Trauma Therapy in Orange County

Feel like your life is a hidden mess?.

The mess isn't the obstacle. It's the starting point.
 

If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through life and ready to try something different, you're in the right place.

My therapy specialties include...

Brainspotting is a powerful somatic therapy that helps process trauma stored in the body.

 

This approach is particularly effective for:

  • Trauma underlying eating disorders and neurodivergence

  • PTSD and complex trauma

  • Body-based trauma responses

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Accessing and healing deep emotional wounds

Healing your relationship with food and your body through specialized eating disorder treatment.

 

I work with adults experiencing:

  • Anorexia nervosa

  • Binge eating disorder

  • Emotional eating and food anxiety

  • Body image struggles

  • Exercise compulsion

Understand yourself and find more self-compassion as you discover how to be more yourself and support your unique needs and talents.

​

I help neurodivergent adults with: 

  • Autistic burnout

  • ADHD executive function challenges

  • Determining beneficial accommodations for daily living

  • Unlearning internalized ablism

IFS therapy helps you understand the different "parts" of yourself - including the parts that developed to protect you around food, body image, and trauma.

 

This powerful approach helps you:

  • Develop self-compassion for all parts of yourself

  • Heal the wounded parts that drive eating disorder behaviors

  • Access your authentic Self and inner wisdom

  • Create internal harmony and self-leadership

Bring your beliefs and doubts - all are welcomed and celebrated here. I honor the spiritual dimensions of healing while respecting your unique beliefs and background.

Take the first step towards healing.
