Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m Maria Zavala, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California, and I offer a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, identity exploration, and emotional challenges, with a strong focus on culturally responsive care. I am also multi-lingual! My goal is to help you feel seen, understood, and grounded while we gently explore what’s been weighing on you and begin creating a path forward that feels authentic, steady, and truly yours.

I have worked with adolescents, adults, and older adults as they work through life's challenges. I am client-centered with a trauma-informed lens, often leaving clients feeling heard, validated, and empowered to continue reaching their goals.

As someone who has worked as a clinician embedded in a law enforcement agency, I am acutely aware of the realities of first responders and the impact the work can have on the individual and their relationships.

Almog Shanun

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • California


  • I believe therapy is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to ourselves. It is an opportunity to explore and learn about the mysteries of our inner self. When I am working with a client both of us discover a vast new world that waits to unfold. I studied at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a graduate school dedicated to discovering the inner contents of the self and the secrets of the archetypes of our humanity. I believe in working with my clients face to face, together, by sharing a journey in order to learn about the hardships of today while gaining knowledge about past and present experiences. I believe in and encourage my client’s strength and ability to solve their own problems and become the healers of their own wounds. I work as a guide and as a fellow traveler in your journey toward self discovery. With every step we take toward discovery, I work hand in hand with my clients, letting them lead in finding the sources of their suffering and their capability to heal them. Treatment Modalities: Person Centered Therapy, Post Jungian, Family Systems, Trauma Theory, Sex Therapy, and working within the Feminine Principle. I work with LGBTQ community and with all kind of diversity. At Eye Of The Storm counseling I specialize with Adolescents, Adults, Relationships, Individuation, Immigration, Life Changes, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Sexual Issues, Personal Growth and Development, Life Style issues, and Court referrals.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. I believe mental health care should be collaborative, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. My approach combines evidence-based treatment with real-life understanding whether that includes therapy, lifestyle changes, or medication management when appropriate. I value honesty, cultural awareness, and meeting you where you are. My goal is to help you feel more stable, confident, and in control of your mental health not just during appointments, but in your everyday life.

Hello! I’m a holistic and integrative Stanford-trained psychiatrist accepting clients for weekly therapy using brainspotting.

Brainspotting actually happens naturally in all great therapy!

Brainspotting is a therapy that doesn’t rely on talking the whole time—instead, it helps access deeper parts of the brain tied to emotion, memory, and instinct. By holding attention on certain spots in your visual field, we can open up access to unresolved feelings or experiences that might not come up through words alone.

Once we get to know one another, we help you enter a light altered state using eye positioning and music and using neuroscience principles and a background in psychedelic therapy, we allow your brain and body to guide you towards resolution. I am Level 1 certified and look forward to working with you!
