Senior🎓
Top SchoolBanu Dalamanli is an integrative, trauma-informed therapist and former software founder with 11 years of experience bridging mental health practice and technology. Based in Amsterdam and San Francisco, she offers depth-focused psychotherapy informed by Compassionate Inquiry, Schema Therapy, attachment theory, and somatic approaches, including psychedelic integration. Her background in software engineering and running a platform startup for therapists gives her a rare fluency in both clinical workflows and digital product design, enabling pragmatic solutions for practice management and client care. She maintains ongoing mentorship with a senior psychiatrist and is pursuing advanced training in Somatic Experiencing, Holotropic Breathwork, and integration-focused programs. Known for synthesizing complex clinical and developmental material rather than relying on single techniques, she specializes in working with high-functioning adults grappling with developmental trauma, identity, and relational patterns. Outside work she blends curiosity and creativity—coding, travel, dance, and close community all inform her therapeutic stance.
