Getting to know Olivia Zavala Rico

Hi there, I'm Olivia! I work with adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, or the stress of caring for others. My goal is to offer a welcoming space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and work toward changes that matter to you. My focus I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions and the demands of caring for others. Whether you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what comes next, I offer a supportive space to explore what you are experiencing and work toward meaningful change. My approach I start by listening and getting to know what matters most to you. We’ll work together to understand the challenges you’re facing, build on your strengths, and find practical ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. I tailor our work to your goals and pace, so therapy feels collaborative and useful in your everyday life. My communication style My style is warm, open and collaborative. I listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, and welcome your feedback. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself while we talk honestly about what’s working, what’s difficult, and what you need from therapy. My journey to mental healthcare After more than a decade working in the nonprofit sector, I earned my master’s in social work from San Jose State University. I was drawn to therapy by the opportunity to support people through difficult experiences and help them recognize their strengths as they move forward. My goals for you We’ll start by identifying what you want to be different in your life and setting goals that feel meaningful and manageable. As we work together, we’ll check in on your progress, practice useful skills, and adjust our approach based onto what helps you. Our first session Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. I’ll ask what brings you to therapy, learn about your experiences and what you hope to change, and answer any questions you have.
