CHILD, FAMILY, TRAUMA THERAPY IN BREA, CALIFORNIA

Welcome to Growing Glimmers

A supportive place for parents and caregivers seeking help for their child, or adults ready to heal childhood wounds and explore transformative growth.

Certain life experiences can negatively impact our perceptions of ourselves, others, and the world around us.

These experiences can cause us to become stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving.

At Growing Glimmers, the goal is to help those I work with recognize and break the cycles that keep them stuck and struggling. I support clients in reconnecting with the light within and around them & hope this creates a ripple effect of glimmers for future generations to come.

EMDR APPROVED CONSULTANT SHE/HER/ELLA

Wendy Llamas, LCSW

Humans are wired for connection, and many of our struggles stem from unmet needs like feeling seen, heard, or supported. As an attachment-focused therapist, I prioritize creating a safe, supportive space where healing can happen through relationship—whether that’s with me in the therapy room, between parent and child, or with your own inner child. Grounded in polyvagal theory and interpersonal neurobiology, our work will help you feel safer in your body and more connected to yourself and others.

I am certified in the following: Integrative Attachment Protocol for Children, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Certified Therapist and Approved Consultant, providing consultation to EMDR trained therapists.

My approach is a blend of all my personal and professional knowledge with the warmth, authenticity, quirk, humor, and the playful silliness that makes me me while affirming what makes you you.

“Glimmers are tiny moments of goodness that help us remember that regulation, safety and connection is also possible. It doesn't take away the trauma or the suffering but it's a reminder that our biology, our nervous system, is capable of holding all that suffering that's not yet resolved.”— Deb Dana
