Getting to know Nicole Zuniga
Everyone needs something different out of therapy, but at the very least, it is my job to provide a therapeutic relationship focused on listening and connection. I have experience and enjoy working with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, life transitions, and trauma. I have also supported parents whose children are at risk of entering a higher level of care, parents who have recently reunited with their children after foster care, parents who have adopted, or parents struggling due to their own childhood trauma.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support diverse client needs. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, and family systems therapy. I tailor our interactions and treatment plan to meet your unique needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I’m so glad that I started working with Nicole on my therapy journey. She is an excellent communicator and listener, and offers practical guidance while holding space for what is already going well. I’ve left my time with Nicole feeling positive and recharged. I’m already looking forward to my next session!

She is wonderful! She is extremely thoughtful and compassionate. I always feel as though she is listening to me and genuinely cares about my self-improvement and understands my steps towards growth. I am always in a great mood after my appointments and have even started being excited for my appointments. I never thought I would genuinely enjoy therapy so much, but Nicole is very intuitive and clearly relays my experiences back to me and explains that even if I see it as small things in my life... it is still trauma to work through because it has impacted me.
