Hello there, My name is MaKalia Zinn. I'm a southern gal navigating all the beauty of the west Coast. I'm Christian and fully believe in holistic healing. I enjoy looking at life through a holistic lens in my personal life and that spills into my clinical practices. I believe when I'm making time for the things that nourish me mentally, physically, and spiritually I can take on the world head first. Through my own journey of healing, mindfulness has been very instrumental with me taking care of myself holistically. Connecting with others is one of the things I look forward to throughout life. I love intimately connecting with the people that are in my life, hiking, cooking, decorating my home, road tripping and soooo many other cool things. I'm at a place in my life where I'm resting a lot more and making space for all of the things to come.... See you in session soon.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I can support anyone that's having challenges with ADHD, Body image, anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, and disordered eating. I've found that a lot of these concerns overlap in my area of specialty. I have the capacity to support many co-occurring diagnosis. I can only imagine how you must feel to get to a place where you are reaching out for help. If your concerns fit within the things you've seen so far on my profile, feel free to reach out for a free consultation. I look forward to seeing you in session. Until then, I believe you're doing your absolute best.
