Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is MaKalia Zinn. I am a Southern gal currently embracing the beauty of California, bringing with me a deep commitment to holistic wellness. My clinical practice is guided by the belief that true healing occurs when we address the whole person—mentally, physically, and spiritually. My values inform my view of restoration; I believe that when we intentionally nourish every part of our being, we create a grounded foundation that allows us to navigate life’s complexities with renewed perspective. Lastly, I enjoy working with women and teen girls to support them to create sustainable change in their lives.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy holistically. I believe in seeing the whole person: spirit, soul, body.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I have a ACT approach in my practice to help individuals develop greater psychological flexibility, allowing them to accept uncomfortable thoughts and emotions while still actively pursuing meaningful goals in life, even when faced with challenges, rather than trying to avoid or suppress them

Mind-body approach

This approach has proving to be effective in my practice my way of my clients seeing a Reduction in stress and anxiety, Enhanced emotional regulation, Increased self-awareness and insight, and Promoting mental stability by connecting mind and body.

Christian Counseling

As a Christian, I've seen this approach effective for clients that needs treatment focused through a faith lens. It allows them to address personal challenges and life struggles through the lens of their Christian faith, integrating biblical teachings and spiritual practices alongside traditional therapy techniques, providing a holistic approach to healing that considers both their emotional and spiritual well-being.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

My approach involves EFT because it helps individuals improve their emotional awareness, manage their emotions effectively, and strengthen their relationships by addressing underlying emotional patterns and attachment needs.

Trauma-Focused CBT

For individuals with trauma history, TF CBT has proven as an evidence-based approach that effectively help process and manage the impacts of traumatic experiences, significantly reducing symptoms of PTSD by addressing distorted thoughts, emotions, and behaviors related to the trauma. It's empowering by also providing tools to enhance the individual's life.

What you can expect from me

First session with me is collaborative which creates a space to unpack the immediate challenges that encouraged you to reach out. Identify the patterns or history that might be influencing your current state. Clarify what "better" actually looks like for you. Most importantly, it's a space for your unique story to be told. Hope to see you in session soon.
