Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Juan Pablo Zapatel, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My role is to support you in a safe, non‐judgmental space where we can explore what you’re going through and work toward the changes you want. I use a collaborative approach, which means we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, and we’ll make decisions together about your goals.

My approach to therapy

I draw from evidence‐based practices like CBT, EMDR, Hypnosis,Biofeedback,motivational interviewing, and trauma‐informed care, but I always tailor the work to your needs and strengths. My priority is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate whatever challenges bring you here. If something isn’t working for you, I welcome your feedback so we can adjust and make this space as helpful as possible.”

What you can expect from me

“In our first session, you can expect us to get to know each other and talk about what brings you in. I’ll ask some questions to understand your history, your goals, and what you’re hoping to change or improve. There’s no pressure to share anything you’re not ready for. My job is to create a safe, supportive space where we can work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. By the end of today, we’ll have a clearer sense of what you want from therapy and how we can move forward together.”
