Getting to know Cleopatra Zhonga
In my years of practice, I've had the honor of working with clients from diverse backgrounds and experiences. I understand that each person's path is distinct, and I approach your journey with empathy, kindness, and without judgment.
I firmly believe that healing and growth are possible for everyone, and I'm committed to walking with you on this path. If you're ready to take the next step toward a more fulfilling and balanced life, please don't hesitate to reach out. Together, we can work toward a brighter future where you can thrive.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My counseling philosophy is rooted in the belief that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are deeply interconnected. These connections can become stuck in loops of fear, avoidance, and rituals that feel impossible to break. My goal is to help you untangle those patterns and move toward a life that feels freer and more aligned with your values. We'll work on identifying triggers, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and developing emotional regulation skills to support your overall mental wellness.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I am here to offer you a safe and supportive space where we can navigate challenges together. Wherever you go, I will follow with guidance and support. Your needs, goals, and preferences are at the forefront of our work together and I will always be open-minded and non-judgmental.

Cleo is awesome! Her love and passion for her profession are reflected in all she does. She has helped me so much on my healing journey. The support and tools she has provided throughout our sessions have made me feel empowered and has uplifted my self-esteem, allowing me to confront each challenge encountered. I am grateful for her patience and understanding. I have a gem of a therapist!

Cleo is a breath of fresh air in a world that can sometimes seem bleak and scary! She takes time to listen, validate and help me make sense of what I’m feeling, and provide techniques to better navigate my anxiety and adverse situations. She’s referred me to specialists when needed (like exploring neuro-psych testing and medication for ADHD) and I appreciate her flexibility when I have a last minute meeting and have to move my appts. I feel in good hands with her for sure.

Cleo is so nice! A really sweet person who offers the best advice. You can always reach out to her outside of her work hours and she’s always happy to listen to what you have to say. Truly one of the best therapists.
