I work hard to create an affirming environment where you feel not only heard but also empowered to take meaningful steps forward. Therapy with me is not about collaboration, growth, and finding the tools that best serve you. If you’re ready to begin the journey of healing and change, I’d be honored to walk this journey with you

As a clinician, I hope to cultivate a space where you feel empowered to understand and know yourself better and grow in new ways.

Trusting and discovering your strengths will lead us throughout our time together. In our session time, I hope to laugh together, and learn more about each other.

You’re managing school, work, relationships, and everyone’s expectations — and people assume you’re fine. But underneath, you’re exhausted from keeping it together. You’ve even tried some self-care, but it’s not hitting like it used to. Many of the clients I work with are BIPOC, queer, and/or neurodivergent adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, relational trauma, and major life transitions while working toward a greater sense of self and safety. Together, we'll untangle the patterns that keep you stuck and help you move through life with less pressure and more ease.

College and young adult years can be both exciting and overwhelming. Many students and young adults find themselves managing anxiety, depression, or grief while also trying to keep up with academic demands, relationships, work, and expectations from family or themselves. Feeling stressed, burned out, unmotivated, or emotionally drained does not mean you are failing — it means you are human and navigating a lot at once. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling. I work with college students, young adults, and adolescents using a client-centered, goal-oriented approach. Therapy is a collaborative process where we focus on what feels most pressing for you and develop practical strategies to help you cope more effectively with stress, emotions, and life transitions. I support individuals experiencing: * Anxiety and depression related to academic pressure, performance stress, and major life changes * Grief and loss, including losses that occur during college or early adulthood * Emotional overwhelm, burnout, difficulty with focus, and feeling “stuck” or disconnected * Relationship and family stress, especially as roles, independence, and boundaries shift * Autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and behavioral concerns in adolescents and young adults I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and stress-reduction techniques to help clients build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and gain clarity during challenging seasons. Therapy should feel supportive, nonjudgmental, and empowering. Whether this is your first time seeking counseling or you are returning to therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you work toward balance, confidence, and improved well-being.

I am providing virtual therapy for those struggling with issues of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, body image and body dysmorphia, stress, perfectionism, grief and loss, and life transitions. I provide a safe space to work together to overcome your life stressors and develop healthy and positive ways to cope.

*I’m a therapist at Mentella Health, a tele-health group private practice* Welcome! My name is Zena and I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, interpersonal concerns, and life challenges/adjustments. I have a MA in counseling and a BS in psychology and over five years working as a therapist in various outpatient settings. My approach to therapy is integrative; I work from a client-centered/humanistic lens incorporating elements of psychodynamic, existential, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused. Therapy is collaborative, there is no one size fits all approach to therapy, therefore I tailor my approach based on the needs of the individual. I believe the most important element of therapy is the therapeutic relationship, therefore I aim to be open-minded and authentic in the therapy room. My goal is to help clients gain insight by providing a safe, non-judgemental environment that fosters acceptance while also encouraging clients to work toward their goals (e.g. balancing acceptance with change). My ideal client is someone who is curious, open-minded, and willing to explore new prescriptives and how past experiences might be impacting how we currently engage with ourselves, others, and in the world. Many of my clients report increased self-awareness, self-acceptance, and ability to understand, accept, and regulate their internal experiences. When I am not providing therapy, I enjoy being in nature/hiking, spending time with my family and cats, and watching horror movies.

Are you new to seeking mental health care and feeling a little unsure about the whole process? Are you experienced with the mental health care system and looking for a new therapist? Well you can stop right here and give me a call, text or email. My approach is client centered, meaning you are in control and I am walking along beside you to support you in your journey. I utilized a strengths-based perspective, meaning you have made it this far in life, now you just need a little something to go the next mile. Don't look any further. Let's get busy making your dreams a reality.

Because no two people are the same, your care at Connecting Heals is designed to honor exactly who you are. You will find a safe, culturally responsive, and explicitly LGBTQ+ affirming space that celebrates your unique identity and neurotype, rather than expecting you to fit into a traditional or neurotypical box. To ensure your healing journey is accessible, you will also be met with flexible financial options, including sliding scales and insurance advocacy, to help remove barriers to your care. Ultimately, your therapy is built around your individual lived experiences, empowering you to heal and navigate the world as your most authentic self.

Do you want to share your thoughts and feelings with others but are worried they won’t understand? You may even be experiencing feelings of anxiety, stress, guilt/shame, low self-confidence, or anger. You don't have to go through that alone, let's tackle these feelings together. Like many others, there may be a wide range of emotions you may be experiencing, and that's okay! I'd love to explore and make sense of those difficult thoughts and feelings so that they aren't weighing you down anymore and empower you to build coping strategies that work best for you. I view our therapeutic relationship like working together as a team, and I adjust my therapy approach based on your personal goals, whether you prefer traditional talk therapy or a more structured approach. I'm typically described as thoughtful, understanding, and easy to talk to. I aim to provide a comfortable virtual space for you to feel listened to and understood. Seeking therapy can be intimidating but I'm glad you are considering taking this step. Please don't hesitate to reach out to see if we are a good fit!

Hi, I’m a first-generation Mexican-American bilingual therapist (¡HABLO ESPAÑOL!) offering compassionate, non-judgmental care for individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. I’m deeply committed to supporting the Latinx community, LGBTQ+ individuals, teenagers, college students, young adults, adults, eldest daughters, and señoras navigating life’s challenges. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, emotional struggles, relationship issues, family conflict, low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, and school-related stress. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by family expectations, struggling with perfectionism or people-pleasing, carrying the pressure of being the eldest daughter, or finding it difficult to set boundaries and say “no,” you do not have to navigate it alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. You may feel like you’re constantly putting others first, avoiding your emotions, struggling to protect your peace, or carrying the weight of generational trauma. Together, we’ll work toward healthier boundaries, greater self-confidence, and breaking patterns that no longer serve you. My approach is rooted in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and authenticity. Together, we’ll build insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns so you can stop feeling stuck in survival mode and begin moving forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. With me, you can expect to feel truly listened to. My calm, lighthearted presence helps create a space where you’ll feel safe to open up, even when things are heavy. I pride myself on creating a warm, supportive environment where you can explore your emotions without fear of judgment. I’ll also gently challenge you when needed, helping you face yourself with honesty so you can grow. That may mean confronting difficult emotions, patterns, or experiences, but always with care, respect, and your best interest at heart. If you’re ready to do the work, whether that means challenging old habits, trying new coping strategies, or showing up with honesty and curiosity, we’ll likely be a great match. Therapy with me is about creating momentum toward the life you want and becoming the version of yourself that feels most authentic, empowered, and at peace. Therapy is not about being “fixed”. It’s about learning to care for yourself in ways you may have never been taught. I would be honored to support you on your healing journey.
