Heart-Centered Therapy

You find freedom inside, nowhere else. In the heart of every being is that one space which is free, which is filled with Peace, and which is full of Love.

Enjoy the Freedom of Your Natural Expression

Therapy is a powerful pathway to reconnect with your authentic self. Through heart-centered therapeutic skills, you’ll cultivate self-love, self-compassion, and emotional awareness—essential qualities that dissolve limiting beliefs and strengthen your inner foundation. As these qualities take root, they support greater alignment between your thoughts, emotions, and life goals.

Working with Dr. Auciello will help you refine your relationship with your emotions, beliefs, and habitual patterns, allowing your true self to shine. You’ll gain the clarity and confidence to express yourself more freely, feel more empowered in your choices, and live with a deeper sense of joy, purpose, and emotional freedom.

Healing Through Connection, Insight, and Embodied Wisdom

Dr. Auciello is a licensed clinical health psychologist and therapist with over 20 years of experience. She specializes in trauma-informed therapy, integrating neuroscience, somatic interventions, EMDR, positive psychology, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Her holistic therapy approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, helping individuals break unhelpful patterns and cultivate greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and fulfillment.

Dr. Auciello provides individual therapy for adults via secure online video therapy sessions throughout California and New York, and offers in-person therapy in Malibu, California, at a serene outdoor office under an oak tree overlooking the Santa Monica Mountains. She also facilitates equine-assisted therapy for individuals and couples—an experiential approach designed to foster deeper connection, communication, and emotional resilience.

Her work is grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience research, empowering clients to heal from trauma, manage stress, and develop effective coping strategies that support both mental health and physical well-being. Dr. Auciello has specialized training and experience working with neurodiverse clients, creating a compassionate and affirming therapeutic space that honors each person’s unique way of thinking, feeling, and relating to the world.

With a background as a former business executive, Dr. Auciello also understands the demands of high-pressure environments and is skilled in helping professionals, executives, and high-achievers navigate burnout, vicarious trauma, and the challenges of sustained performance.

She believes that many of the beliefs we hold about ourselves are untrue—and through therapy, clients learn to rewire limiting narratives, strengthen their connection with body, mind, and spirit, and create meaningful, lasting transformation. If you’re searching for a therapist who blends science, mindfulness, and experiential therapy techniques in a deeply personal and transformative way, Dr. Auciello would be honored to support your healing journey.
