testimonials

“I am deeply grateful for Dr. Z - I don't know what I would have done without her support. She has really helped me to understand my teen daughter, to more effectively identify my underlying feelings, and to communicate clearly while maintaining my boundaries. She does all of this with love, understanding, and a sense of humor. The best!”

“I worked with Dr. Zúñiga for about five years. When I got to Dr. Zúñiga for the first time, I simply did not want to have anything to do with any therapist or any psychiatrist due to previous experiences I had. But she turned everything around for me. She helped me out tremendously in a way that I could never thank her enough for. Dr. Zúñiga found a way to earn my trust which allowed me to receive the help that I needed. From not wanting to work with her, I came back year after year, unfortunately, our time together ended but she reminded me I had the tools I needed to take care of my mental health. Whoever has the chance to work with her is very lucky. She truly has a talent for what she does and you can see how much she loves what she does.”

SUPERVISION

“Working with Dr. Zúñiga as my clinical supervisor has been both an asset to my professional development and personal development as a woman of color in the field of psychology. Her direct supervision has fostered my ability to use and find my voice, identify and reinforce my strengths, and become confident in my clinical skills. Most importantly, Dr. Zúñiga has guided me through cultural and professional challenges in a way that has allowed me to find my footing in my bi-cultural experience and created a space for me to identify and further develop my authentic professional identity and integrate it with my authentic self as a clinician. Among many other things, Dr. Zúñiga's supervision helped me secure my number one choice for postdoctoral residency, prepare for interviews and entering my residency, and provided a safe cultural space to process and navigate the experience's developing clinicians of color may face in the field. Dr. Zúñiga's supervision has been an invaluable contribution to my journey and growth as a clinician and woman of color entering the field.”
