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.

What clients say about working with Miranda:
-
I’ve worked with a lot of people in healing spaces. I’ve never worked with anyone like Miranda. She has incredible perception, genuine kindness, and care that feels like home. The way that she sees things and asks questions about things that I wouldn't have seen or thought about, she is doing what she's supposed to do. I’ve never felt so safe with someone. Thank you, Miranda! James

If I could give a million stars, I would, but the limit was five, so that's what I gave, and I give that with full confidence. I can confidently say that without the support of Miranda that I wouldn't have been able to accomplish all that I have accomplished during this time. What I really want to comment on and how Miranda has helped me so much is truly just meeting me where I am and being able to support me in whatever it is that I need at that time. I feel like Miranda has a gift, an intuitive gift. Sometimes I need strategy, sometimes I need problem-solving, sometimes I need to go in and look at things and try to understand patterns and flows in my life. But sometimes I need a place to cry... Miranda has the gift of being able to support me in the ways that I didn't even know that I needed to be supported. Lauran

It is not an exaggeration to say that coaching with Miranda changed my life. I am a different, better, whole, more integrated person because of the time that I spent with her.
She's so good at spotting patterns and being able to help me see the things that I really didn't want to look at—in such a gentle way. I think that's where a lot of the growth came from, because someone else could have pointed that stuff out to me and it would have felt harsh, but it felt so loving coming from Miranda. She has taught me how to find ease, not only in business but in personal life too. "What if everything doesn't have to be so hard?" She gave me permission to do things that were fun, that I really could take care of myself.
Previous to working with her, I wouldn't have said that I believed that. If you had asked me, "Do you believe you deserve good things?" I would have said, "Yes, absolutely, I believe that." And yet I kept acting in ways that didn't really support that belief. Miranda was so helpful and kind and really insightful at helping me pull those pieces apart so that I could see where I was holding myself back. She gave me permission to believe in myself and see my strengths in a way that not too many people in my life before her did, and that was so tender about the time that I worked with her. Rebecca

It’s hard to fully capture how special it is to work with Miranda as a guide and healer. She supports with her intuition, her spiritual connection and her playful curiosity. She has helped me find… me, and I’m so incredibly grateful.
