Hi, I’m Victoria Zal a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I'm here to help guiding your journey of healing, insight and growth, improving communication and satisfaction in your relationships effecting quality of your life. I utilize straightforward, open, and holistic approach which is trauma informed (EMDR), relationships/communication strengthening, parenting, marriage, divorce, immigration, and neurodivergence affirming. Looking forward to meeting you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session I would like to get a clear understanding of the concerns that bring you in and learn more about your history and issues.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I'm understanding, open minded, straightforward and will support your healing and growth no mater what the obstacles are.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
If you are overwhelmed, feeling stuck and yet ready to take a step to grow and heal I’d love to assist you on this journey through understanding and improving your emotional and relational functioning. Depending on your needs I use a combination of talk therapy with EMDR for difficult experiences along with psychodynamic, relational (RLT) and cognitive therapy (CBT).
