About Not Therapy & Miranda Palmer, M.S.

Not Therapy in Oceanside, CA: A New Way to Heal and Thrive

You’re Not Broken—You’re Stuck. Let’s Change That.

You’ve tried therapy. Maybe for months. Maybe for years. You’ve talked and processed and analyzed, yet something still feels stuck.

You know deep down there’s more for you—more peace, more joy, more freedom—but traditional approaches just aren’t getting you there. You’ve felt more relief in yoga, breathwork, or dance than in hours of talking. You’ve sensed healing in movement, in stillness, in something deeper than words.

That’s where I come in.

At Not Therapy, we don’t just talk about healing—we create it. Right here, right now. This is a space where you can reconnect with yourself, release what’s holding you back, and step into something new.

Who I Am: Miranda Palmer, Brainspotting Practitioner & Holistic Guide

I’m Miranda Palmer, M.S., and I’ve spent years exploring both traditional and non-traditional healing. With a Master’s degree in Psychology and experience as a licensed therapist, I’ve walked the path of clinical work. But I also know firsthand that healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach.

My own journey led me beyond therapy—to Brainspotting, Reiki, breathwork, group healing, and nervous system regulation. I saw how integrating science-backed techniques with deep, intuitive work allowed people to break through in ways therapy never did. And I knew I needed to share this approach with others.

This Isn’t Therapy—It’s Something More

At Not Therapy, you’ll find something different. Something deeper. Something that works with your brain and body, rather than against it. Our work together might include:

Brainspotting – A powerful tool to process trauma, access breakthroughs, and release what’s been keeping you stuck.
Breathwork & Reiki – Energy-based techniques to regulate your nervous system, restore balance, and reconnect with yourself.
Life Coaching & Skill-Building – Practical strategies to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Group Work & Community Healing – A space to heal, grow, and expand with the support of others.

Everything is customized to you. Whether you need deep emotional processing, nervous system regulation, or practical tools to shift your mindset and behaviors, we create a plan that actually moves you forward.

Healing That Actually Works

You don’t have to keep spinning in circles. You don’t have to keep searching. You don’t have to settle for feeling almost better.

Your body knows how to heal. Your brain knows how to process. You just need the right support to tap into that natural ability. That’s what we do here.

If you’re ready to break free from the cycle of overthinking and actually feel better, let’s connect.

Frequently Asked Questions About Not Therapy in San Diego County | Oceanside, CA

What is Not Therapy?
Not Therapy is a space for healing and personal growth that goes beyond traditional therapy. We use a mix of Brainspotting, breathwork, Reiki, nervous system regulation, and life coaching to help you move forward in a way that works for you.

How is this different from traditional therapy?
Unlike traditional therapy, we don’t diagnose, pathologize, or keep you stuck in endless processing. Instead, we focus on actionable, body-based, and intuitive methods that create real shifts—without needing to rehash the past over and over.

Do I have to talk about my trauma?
No! That’s the beauty of this work. Brainspotting, breathwork, and energy healing allow you to process and release without needing to put everything into words. Your brain and body already know how to heal—you just need the right tools to access that process.

Can I do this work while in therapy?
Absolutely. Many clients work with us alongside therapy, using these techniques to deepen and accelerate their healing in ways that talk therapy alone doesn’t always provide.

What happens in a session?
Each session is tailored to you. We might focus on Brainspotting, energy healing, practical skill-building, or nervous system regulation—whatever best supports your needs in the moment.

How many sessions will I need?
Everyone’s journey is unique. Some people feel major shifts in just a few sessions, while others choose to continue for deeper, ongoing support. The pace and process are always up to you.

Do you take insurance?
No, we do not take insurance because this work falls outside the medical model. However, we offer flexible payment options to make healing accessible.

How do I get started?
Simple! Book a free 15-minute consultation to explore how this approach can support you. There’s no commitment—just a conversation to see if this is the right fit for you.
