Not Therapy: Deep Healing Without the Talk Therapy Loop
You’ve Done the Work - But Something Still Feels Stuck
You’ve tried therapy, read the books, listened to the podcasts. You understand your patterns, your attachment wounds, the things keeping you from fully stepping into the life and relationships you want. But awareness alone isn’t enough.
Maybe you’re tired of talking in circles. Maybe you’ve found more release through movement, breathwork, or energy work than you ever did in a therapy session. You know you’re ready for something different—something that actually shifts things at a deeper level.
That’s exactly why Not Therapy exists.
At Not Therapy, we work outside the medical model—no diagnosing, no endless rehashing of the past, no insurance-driven treatment plans. Instead, we focus on what actually helps you move forward.
We blend Brainspotting, Reiki, nervous system regulation, coaching, and group work to create a customized experience that fits you. Whether you're working through trauma, attachment wounds, or feeling stuck in your career or relationships, we use powerful, body-based approaches to help you break free and move toward the life you want.

Miranda Palmer Your Not Therapist in San Diego
Brainspotting, Life Coach, and Reiki Practitioneer
Meet Your Guide: Miranda Palmer, M.S.
I spent years as a licensed trauma therapist, specializing in EMDR and brain-based healing. But when I sought out my own healing, I kept running into therapists who wanted to keep me talking, analyzing, and labeling—instead of actually helping me feel better.
Through Brainspotting, breathwork, movement, psychedelics, and energy work, I finally found real transformation—and now, I help others do the same.
At Not Therapy, I bring together my background in neuroscience, trauma healing, and somatic work with deep intuition and energy-based practices. I meet you where you are, offering a fully customized experience that is not therapy, but that helps you move past the blocks keeping you stuck.

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.
