Geri Zuniga
Hello! Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself?
We will use a myriad of evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing among others.
In individual therapy, I’ll help you explore ways to manage anxiety and depression. Together, we’ll identify what isn’t working and find steps toward greater balance. Our work will be tailored to your needs, including noticing thoughts that get in the way and exploring new ways to understand them. You’ll find a caring, safe, and confidential space to share your experiences, thoughts, and feelings at your own pace. You are the expert on your own life; I’m here to support you as you work toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be.
First session
Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other a little better. It will be a safe, non-judgmental environment in which we can share our expectations and hopes for treatment. I will review your intake forms, and we will determine if we want to proceed with this journey together.
Strengths
I believe that compassion starts with truly listening. In our conversations, you can expect a space that feels safe, respectful, and free of judgment. We will move through your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors gently, and I will support you as you discover a path to healing and recovery that feels authentic to you.
Ideal clients
My practice is dedicated to assisting clients who are navigating the difficulties of anxiety, depression, and grief. I provide support and teach effective coping strategies designed to help individuals manage these emotional challenges more effectively. In the context of telehealth, it's important to recognize that there can be unique obstacles, such as communication barriers and the potential for feelings of isolation. As such, I believe the ideal client is someone who is not only highly motivated to make positive changes in their life but also possesses a sense of resilience that allows them to face these challenges head-on. Together, we work on developing personalized strategies that can empower them to find stability and peace amidst their struggles. Ultimately, my goal is to create a supportive environment where clients feel equipped to overcome their issues and thrive.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you understand how your thoughts about life’s challenges may affect how you feel. Together, we’ll explore your reactions and thought patterns and find new ways to look at situations that may feel overwhelming. The goal is to help you feel more supported, gain perspective, and move toward meaningful change.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help you make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters most to you. Together, we can explore practical ways to build flexibility and take meaningful steps forward, even when life feels challenging.
Grief Therapy
Grief can affect every part of life, and there’s no single right way to move through it. I offer a caring, supportive space where you can share your feelings, make sense of your loss, and explore gentle ways to cope as you adjust to the changes and evolving sense of self that grief can bring.
