More about Zina

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a licensed therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. My approach centers on compassionate, holistic care for adults seeking meaningful support through stress, anxiety, and life changes.

I bring a depth of understanding to challenges like anxiety, medical and health related setbacks, workplace stress/burnout/compassion fatigue, professional purpose and career exploration, and personal identity exploration. My therapeutic work focuses on helping clients develop self-understanding, improve communication, decrease self-criticism, and rediscover their sense of purpose.

I offer a nuanced approach to healing that honors each individual's unique journey. I have an extensive background in mindfulness, somatic practices, Internal Family Systems, and self-compassion. Whether you're facing chronic health challenges, workplace difficulties, or personal transitions, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.

My practice welcomes individuals seeking support through various life stages, with a particular sensitivity high-achievers and burnout, midlife experiences, grief, retirement, aging, and complex emotional landscapes. Together, we'll work collaboratively to develop resilient coping strategies and meaningful pathways toward personal wellness.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
