Three guiding principles underscore my work with people and my own growth. Essentially, we are constantly in a state of potential for change and doing the best we can in life. In addition, I view negative thoughts and feelings that develop into anxiety, depression, and low self-worth as learned responses that serve a purpose; to cope with or protect against pain. And most importantly, happiness is a choice we can make once we have the skills to respond (instead of just react) to life's challenges.

Therapy is a joint, collaborative process. In my experience, people begin to feel better when we unite in carefully exploring whatever the problem(s) may be. This takes time. If you are in a hurry or looking for a quick fix, I am probably not your person. I've spent over three decades researching, teaching and supporting psychological health, and one thing I am certain about is that deep, lasting change takes time. Many clients come with one pressing problem, and as we resolve that, other issues arise that merit attention.

Sometimes we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, confused, hopeless, anxious, or "stuck". There are many reasons that these feelings and experiences may surface such as recent changes in our lives, past issues/experiences that have decided to come up unexpectedly, or difficult events we are currently experiencing. Life throws us into these intense places and it can be extremely difficult in our lives, ultimately impacting our career, goals, self-care, as well as take a toll on our relationships.

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.

The complexities of life can be challenging to navigate on your own. To stay or leave the relationship, resign from work or switch majors, work through grief & loss, or how to set boundaries with friends & family, can send our thoughts spinning into a cycle of anxiety. Practicing honesty with yourself may feel daunting & in some cases impossible, as it can call for acknowledging uncomfortable situations or feelings in your life. The fear of speaking up can lead to avoidance behaviors such as substance use issues, withdrawal from friends & family, cessation of things you enjoy, mental fog & depression as well as codependency.

I see both first responders as well as non first responders in my practice. I find that one of the most important elements to good therapy is a good match between the therapist and client. I encourage anyone looking into therapy to schedule a free consultation call to ensure that we are a good match! It may also help to listen to a few of my podcast episodes to get a feel for my personality and approaches to treatment. I work with young adults (16 and up) as well as adults to help process trauma, anxiety, depression, and social and relational issues.
