Therapists in Woodland Hills, CA

As a Jungian Analyst, I create a safe place for my clients to transform problems and discover their wholeness. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is founded upon deep listening and dialog. Whether the concerns are related to relationships, depression, anxiety, procrastination or chronic illness, we begin with understanding your current feelings and desired goal. Throughout these many years of practice, I have been honored to participate in my client's endeavor to achieve an authentic life.

How healthy and joyful are your relationships? How strong do you feel verbalizing your needs to your loved ones? I work with people who want to improve their relationships and enhance communication with family (parents, children), children of divorcing parents, friends, sexuality, romantic/intimate partners. I treat various relationships, trauma, intimacy and sexuality issues, and body positivity. I help resolve conflicts due to life's challenges that may impact your happiness and well-being by causing negative emotions, affecting your physical and emotional health, which may lead to low self-esteem, and poor self-image.

Sometimes life's problems and dilemmas need to be addressed in psychotherapy or they could possibly interfere with the opportunity to experience a happier, more fulfilling life. I invite you to join me in a therapeutic relationship that facilitates understanding your thoughts and feelings. By using this developing knowledge, we can explore and resolve the conflicts in your life rather than staying stuck.

Do you wish to "restart" your life? This desire manifests differently for each of us, but the common factor is a sense that “something is missing.” In my practice, my clients and I work on understanding what has been in the way of taking action to fulfill that missing piece. We then create increased structure, focus, and schedule, alongside exploring your underlying reasons for not taking the level of action you wish to or your lack of motivation. If you feel a bit lost or have realized that you procrastinate around the endeavors and dreams that matter most to you, I can help you to gain clarity into your next step.

You or a family member are not as happy as you wish. You feel alone, sad, anxious, depressed, frustrated - you may know why, but you are stuck and aren't sure how to change it. I can help you. We will work together to eradicate your negative feelings and create more adaptive ways to address your challenges. Through interactive, safe, regular meetings, we will access your deeper feelings, work through them and find more positive ways to deal with the challenges that come your way.

I believe that each person searches to find a therapist with whom they feel a connection. It is very important to me that I provide you with a positive emotional experience. One that is free from judgement, or underlying agendas. I strive to support my clients by being a dependable, focused and consistently positive force in their lives. A person grows through connection, consistency and genuine caring. I am not a clinician who believes that one has to feel pain in order to progress in therapy. Quite the contrary, it is through having a more healthy positive relationship, which causes meaningful change.

As a Jungian and transpersonal psychotherapist I will use a variety of techniques to work with you.Your feelings of depression, anxiety, or overwhelm will be helped through learning techniques of self-soothing, mindfullness, meditation, and new ways to think through your problems. I believe in the power of your personal narrative and the imagery of your dreams and fantasies as ways to help you explore your own inner truths. I am trained to follow your lead and to pick up on the slightest clues in your telling and retelling of your life, your issues, your struggles.I am interactive in my style.

Sometimes, the most profound connections are formed when someone truly listens.I’m Cintia, here not just to hear, but to deeply understand you. In a world where trauma and anxiety often drown out our inner voices, I know that beneath the spoken words, lies a heart’s true narrative.

My name is Lezly Zavala, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore and address their challenges. I specialize in anxiety, stress, and depression, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients make progress and navigate life transitions. I specialize in providing empathetic and targeted support to adolescents and young adults navigating the challenges of life transitions.

Sharing our inner experiences with someone can often feel frightening, which is exactly why I place such an importance on connection and acceptance in the therapeutic process. I aim to create a safe environment that will invite my clients to delve deeper into their personal narrative, as I truly believe we are not built to process emotions alone. As humans, we all have a propensity to grow and become our true selves, unfortunately we aren’t always gifted with the circumstances to allow it. I am passionate about creating a space for not only self-discovery and self-acceptance, but to allow clients to feel seen, heard, and valued.

I specialize in treating treating high achieving individuals & couples, with perfectionist tendencies. My priority is your emotional safety. Non judgmental support allows for your sharing openly and honestly. The need to "be right" can be unconscious, & you may be hurting those you love. My skilled intuition, and 25+ yrs. of clinical success, knows hope is available for the motivated and committed recovering anxious, obsessive, & over analyzing adult. Our trusting relationship inspires you to reflect upon your life/relationship goals; together we explore, & honestly challenge: "Do I want to be right?" Or, do I want to be loved?"
