Brenda Delahorne

Hello! My name is Brenda, and I am a Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor based in Pasadena, California - APCC #21341.​

​

I graduated from Pepperdine University with an MA in Clinical Psychology in September 2025 and completed my practicum training at Southern California Counseling Center.​

ABOUT ME

I utilize my background in music to creatively support clients of diverse backgrounds. I work with a social justice and trauma-informed lens and seek to provide a safe and empowering space for clients throughout their healing journey. This includes providing an affirming space for LGBTQAI+ folks. 

 

I enjoy working relationally to create a warm environment for clients to explore their inner experiences. Likewise, I enjoy bringing my authentic self into the room; utilizing both affective disclosure and humor to strengthen the therapeutic relationship. â€‹

​

As a trauma-informed practitioner, I integrate IFS, Gestalt, ISTDP, Attachment, Polyvagal, Somatics, and Family Systems, and work holistically to individualize interventions to meet the client in the moment. As an avid learner, I am continually interested in incorporating new theoretical orientations into my practice.

 

Additionally, I am passionate about collaborating with clients to address issues such as life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief & loss, sociopolitical / eco stress, and relationship challenges. 

​​​

Outside of the therapy room, you will find me reading, traveling, bakery hopping, writing songs, going to comedy shows, or taking my senior pup to the dog park.
