Janie Zuniga, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Janie!

I work to provide a safe, supportive, and validating environment. I meet my clients where they are and support them as they work towards their goals.

My focus

I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, and family issues.

My approach

I practice evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing.

My communication style

My goal is always to provide a safe, supportive, and validating environment where patients can gain the skills and strength to face life challenges and achieve their goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always knew I would be a helper, and when I began working in group homes while in college, I knew that being a therapist was what I was meant to do. I love supporting children and helping them gain the skills to help them live their best lives.

My goals for you

During intake, we discuss goals for treatment. We set goals at the start of therapy and review progress at each session.

Our first session

Patients should expect us to set goals and work towards building rapport and a therapeutic alliance.
