Dario Zamorano

Hi, there—Dario, here! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I hold a Master’s in Social Work, Social Policy, and Social Administration from the University of Chicago and have received extensive training in trauma-responsive care. Alongside over 5+ years of experience in the field with community mental health centers, intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs (IOP/PHP), and private practices, I’ve learned that the care you extend to yourself can generate transformative shifts within the collectives we all inhabit. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling chronically stressed, emotionally numb, or altogether unsure how to make sense of what their mind and body are holding.

I believe therapy can be an expansive and fluid space: a place to pause, feel, and reconnect to your own wisdom and capacity for change, even in systems that too often demand we fragment or erase who we are. In practice, this looks like integrating third-wave behavioral therapies (ACT, DBT, CBT) to tenderly hold and examine patterns of chronic discomfort, distress, and disruption that have surfaced in your life and that have strained your capacity for meaningfully connecting with yourself, with others in your community, and with the world.

In our sessions together, I’ll invite you to explore expansiveness, flexibility, and softness. My aim is to fully embrace my humanity alongside you, creating conditions for holding and sustaining your healing journey. Whether it involves developing skills to attune to present-moment emotions and thoughts, uprooting unhelpful core beliefs and value systems, or braving new relationships and contexts, I’ll be there with you—providing space, establishing connection, and facilitating mindful progress.
