Loreta De Zuniga

You may feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you want to change, or unsure how to move forward after painful experiences. You deserve a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker in Arizona and a licensed independent social worker in Ohio supporting all navigating trauma, domestic violence, anxiety, and life transitions. I’m EMDR trained and passionate about helping people understand how past experiences affect their present lives. I bring warmth, curiosity, and compassion to our work together as we build on your strengths and work toward changes that matter to you.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I take time to understand your experiences, strengths, and goals so we can find an approach that fits you. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and grounding strategies to support emotional awareness, coping, and healing.

With children, I incorporate play, art, and hands-on activities to make therapy engaging and developmentally appropriate. I also partner with caregivers when helpful. Whether we’re working through difficult experiences or practicing everyday skills, we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable while making room for growth.

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and begin building a comfortable, trusting relationship. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what feels challenging, and what you hope will change. I’ll ask about your background, explain confidentiality, and make space for your questions.

You don’t need to have everything figured out or share every detail right away.
