The experiences and interactions we have throughout our lifetime can have an impact on our well-being, thoughts, emotions, relationships and decision making.

Hello! I am Dr. Efrain Zepeda. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Social Worker. In the past 23 years of working as a mental health professional, one important lesson I have learned is that the most powerful therapeutic intervention is found in the interpersonal connection that occurs in the client-therapist relationship. Together we can analyze the past to co-create a new meaning with the goal of achieving healing. I strongly believe that therapy is not about labeling or judging, but rather about personal discovery.

Psychotherapy and counseling help people gain fresh insights into themselves, cultivate fulfilling relationships, authentically express themselves, and lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Some are looking for help in navigating depression, anxiety, life changes, relationship difficulties, or improving emotional regulation.

As a dedicated and compassionate mental health therapist, my passion lies in helping individuals navigate their emotional challenges and develop a sense of well-being. My journey into this field began with a deep-rooted desire to make a positive impact on people's lives and contribute to their overall mental health journey. My approach to therapy is centered around creating a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe that every person's experiences and struggles are unique, therefore, I employ a personalized, client-centered approach to tailor my interventions to meet their needs.

It may be difficult to navigate life while experiencing uncertainty, unpleasantness, pain, loss, or hurt. The process of therapy allows a space in which we gradually work towards: clarity, centeredness, acceptance, peace, and autonomy. The therapeutic journey offers an opportunity to reach your desired outcomes in a manner that is meaningful and sustainable (within a safe, tailored, and confidential setting).

In my work with children & families, I see behavior as communication. When children become flooded with emotion or when they may not know how to act or express themselves in a certain situation, they often use their behavior to tell us what they need. As a therapist, I come from a place of curiosity to understand what might be happening for your child & within your family during these heightened emotional states. Through a series of approaches such as play therapy, storytelling, & narration, we will explore the thought patterns & disruptive behaviors that might be impacting your child's functioning at home, school & social settings.

Are your problems consuming your life? Do you find it difficult to acknowledge your strengths and make the most of them? Therapy could be the solution. We will work on finding solutions and creating plans for change. Together, we will identify your strengths and how those strengths can help you to make positive changes. I use a cognitive behavioral model along with a strengths-based approach. I work from the premise that a strong therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of effective therapy. We will work as a team to create and achieve goals that improve your quality of life.
