Zuneybi Contreras
Hello/Hola, I'm Zuneybi, a Bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). As a LatinX therapist, I bring a culturally sensitive approach to my practice. Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety or depression, looking to process past trauma, navigating through life's transitions, or seeking personal growth, I am here to guide you along the way.
I also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to work on processing past traumas or negative experiences that cause emotional distress.
Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations, including survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. I have also helped individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, children's behavioral issues and other life stressors. I believe you are the expert in your own life and work alongside you to provide you with the tools and guidance you need to build on your strengths and work toward growth. Asking for help and seeking therapy can be difficult and scary, but you deserve a safe and non-judgmental space to heal and grow. I would be honored to join you in your journey. Como terapeuta latina, entiendo nuestra cultura. Ya sea que busques alivio de la ansiedad o depresión, quieras procesar traumas pasados, navegar por transiciones de vida o buscar crecimiento personal, aquí estoy para guiarte en el camino. En mi carrera, he trabajado con poblaciones diversas, incluyendo sobrevivientes de violencia doméstica y abuso sexual. También he ayudado a personas que tienen ansiedad, depresión, trauma, problemas de comportamiento infantil y otros factores estresantes de la vida. Creo que tú eres el experto o la experta en tu propia vida, y trabajo junto a ti para dar las herramientas y la guía que necesitas para fortalecer tus capacidades y avanzar hacia el crecimiento. Pedir ayuda y buscar terapia puede ser difícil y da miedo, pero mereces un espacio seguro y libre de juicios para sanar y crecer. Sería un honor acompañarte en tu camino.
First session
Your first session with me is all about getting to know each other in a safe and non-judgmental space. We will focus on understanding what brought you to therapy and what your goals are. I'll ask some questions to learn more about your history, current challenges, and what you're hoping to achieve through our work together.
Strengths
My areas of experience include working with children, adolescents and adults facing depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, trauma and difficulty adjusting to new phases of life. I strive to create a genuine and accepting environment where clients can feel safe and comfortable discussing life's difficulties. I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. If you're seeking a compassionate therapist who values your perspective and is dedicated to supporting you in your journey, let's work together!
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are individuals who are open to self-exploration and committed to personal growth. I have a particular passion for working with clients who are navigating trauma, anxiety, or emotional distress. I enjoy working with those who are ready to invest in their healing process, even when it feels difficult at times.
Treatment methods
EMDR
EMDR is used to help process traumatic or negative experiences that continue to cause emotional distress. It is especially helpful for trauma, but can also be used for anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges. After building a strong therapeutic relationship and helping you develop coping skills, we can begin processing trauma-related memories and work on helping you develop healthier thoughts and behaviors.
