                                       A Global & Clinical Perspective

Dr. Palmer’s professional journey is defined by a unique breadth of experience. Having lived and worked as an educator and counselor in Dubai, UAE, he brings a global cultural competency to his practice. His clinical foundation is rigorous and in-depth; he has spent nearly two decades treating anxiety, complex trauma (C-PTSD), personality disorders, and addiction, as well as conducting specialized psychometric testing for U.S. Veterans and school districts. This deep clinical "under-the-hood" knowledge allows him to navigate the most challenging psychological landscapes with precision and ease.​​

                                       The "Co-Explorer" Philosophy

Dr. Palmer’s methodology transcends the traditional, often stigmatized, clinical diagnosis. He views himself as a "co-explorer" of the client’s narrative. By blending Constructivist Learning with Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Spiritual Psychology, he moves beyond "fixing symptoms" to restoring a client’s personal agency and confidence.

His approach is specifically designed for the high-functioning and high-achieving committed individuals:

• Transpersonal-Mindset Coaching: Integrating introspection, and the spiritual and transcendent aspects of the human experience to foster deep meaning.

• Action-Oriented Results: Utilizing REBT, Gestalt, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction to drive accountability and intentional growth.

• Concierge Flexibility: Recognizing the demands of high-net-worth lifestyles, Dr. Palmer provides creative and seamless in-person and virtual sessions and travels extensively to meet clients where they are.

                                        Direct, Personable, Intuitive

Known for a style that is "direct" yet patient and personable, Dr. Palmer combines keen clinical intuition with the wisdom of a life dedicated to the study of human nature. Whether navigating a high-stakes career transition, reducing anxiety, a teen crisis, managing the pressures of fame, resolving an individual or couple's crisis, and healing from ancestral trauma, clients find Dr. Palmer to be a compassionate advocate, deeply insightful, and a formidable strategist in resolution for the mind, soul, and body.
