Graciela Zuniga, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Graciela!

I'm passionate about being part of your healing journey, whether helping you find your voice or providing stable support through life transitions. I create a safe and accepting space for my clients.

My focus

I work with transitional-age youth, young adults, and individuals navigating life changes, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, and personal growth.

My approach

I utilize a variety of approaches and make accommodations to best fit each client. My most used approaches are client-centered, solution-focused, strength-based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, and trauma-informed care.

My communication style

I create a welcoming and safe environment where psychological safety builds trust and eases nervousness. As treatment progresses and trust is established, I introduce gentle confrontation to guide you toward reaching your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

It's an honor to witness the resiliency so many people have. I love to listen and strive to understand people at a deeper level.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. You are the expert of your own life, and I serve as an unbiased guide to point out blind spots and possible goals based on what you share.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll ask what led you to seek therapy, explore your history with therapy and any background you'd like to share, and get to know you as a person. It's about you and your time.
