I am devoted to guiding those that are called to improve their lives, whether it is to become the first in their family to be a college graduate, to rise to the challenge of becoming a professional in their field of choice, or to overcome years of negative self esteem. My clients want to find positive connection with themselves, their partners, their families, and communities. My clients have often experienced traumatic events but I have taught them about and shared tools which give them control over how those events affect them, finding peace and strength out of difficult experiences. I offer counsel to adults, couples, & kids.

I work with all types of clients, from "Type A" women who are intensely driven, but often feel exhausted from perfectionism-to individuals who have gone or are going through infertility and feel a loss of control-to postpartum women who are experiencing depression and/or anxiety.

They are interested in how their past traumas show up in their bodies and want to mobilize their pain, so that they can create new narratives and harness their innate power.

Hello! I am Dr. Efrain Zepeda. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Social Worker. In the past 23 years working as a mental health professional, one of the most important lessons I have learned is that the most powerful therapeutic intervention is the interpersonal experience 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.

We are here to help you heal and grow. We are genuine, real people who believe that actual, loving feedback is more useful than simply listening and repeating. That is why we partner concrete take-home skills with open, active listening. Our style incorporates humor and play. We tailor every single session to your unique needs. We want to be by your side, to listen, support, and challenge you every step of the way. You do not have do this alone. Together, we will discover untapped purpose, passion, clarity, and courage.

The changes in the world today can be unbalancing and having a guide to help one find ways to re-balance is important to one's well-being. I Have had life experience in dealing with trauma which guided me to become engaged in the study of psychology. I saw the need for more understanding of the mind and the human experience. Anxiety and depression affect the whole person: psycho-spiritually, physically, mentally, and physiologically. The signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression will manifest at every level. Imagine working together to find your own therapeutic tune to your life song…

I use therapy to find reconciliation of your "Thoughts and Emotions" to resolve conflicting feelings within yourself. My approach focuses on building a mutual relationship with you that reduces depression, anxiety and stress. I tirelessly will work to find the triggers that cause depression, anxiety and stress. I will reduce painful symptoms and emotions that causes negative "thoughts and behaviors." My goal is to get you back on your feet (emotionally) as soon as possible.

It is possible to create lasting change and build the life you want for yourself. In today’s on-the-go culture, it’s easy to feel swept up in the current of productivity and success, leaving little room to slow down, replenish, and heal. This often results in overwhelming stress, anxiety, or depression that interferes with holistic wellness, happiness, and experience of being. With compassion, curiosity, and a non-judgmental approach, I can help you develop skills to ride the tides of your emotional waves instead of being swept into the storm that brews when attempting to numb, avoid, repress, or deny feelings.
