As a therapist, my goal is to help you live a happier and more fulfilling life.

Hello! My name is Juan Zuluaga and I am a LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) in California. I have been working in the mental health field for the past 14 years in a multitude of settings including: therapist, director of an adult program, and case manager. My therapy focus has been working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, victims of domestic violence, individuals experiencing life transitions/adjustments, struggles with interpersonal conflicts, men’s issues, and self-esteem concerns. Rooted from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy background, I primarily employ CBT, REBT, & DBT modalities into my practice. I am here to walk with you on your journey and assist uncover what is best for your life.
I believe that healing begins with a genuine connection. As a therapist, I'm committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I have experience working in mental health settings, academia, faith-based ministries, and non-profit organizations, all interwoven with a break for 15+ years of full time parenting. My experience includes working with anxiety, life transitions, cancer, ADHD, and issues related to the BIPOC community.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals optimize their overall mental health. I have a BA in Psychology from Cal State Fullerton, a MS in counseling from Cal State Los Angeles and have been practicing for nearly a decade. I am currently working with clients statewide via telehealth.
I provide care for all adult individuals who are seeking support in both traditional psychotherapy and sex therapy services. Whether it's anxiety, trauma, or day-to-day stressors, therapy can be a great resource. Ever feel like your experiences have control over you, and not the other way around? You're not alone! I provide a supportive and encouraging session environment that allows clients to regain and create their self-autonomy. I value providing a non-judgmental and respectful environment in each session.
I strongly value how my multicultural identities can further assist my support for clients. I am a Marine wife, mother of two, kink-friendly, and more. I also have experience supporting clients through a range of experiences, from day-to-day stress to significant life transitions. Join now, and let's continue to nurture community, connection, and support!
I strive to ensure the unique support and encouragement each client needs is provided in each session. Open, honest, and collaborative communication is valued between my clients and me. I have strong values around a non-judgmental session structure. Adding a therapist to your team can be very rewarding, supportive, and encouraging.
I enjoy working with adults from diverse backgrounds who seek to improve the quality of their lives. Is there a place you find yourself stuck? Do you have some insight into what may be happening, but want to seek professional support to grow and thrive? Whether you are familiar with counseling or not, each person's therapeutic journey is unique. Some people come with a specific goal in mind and others prefer a longer supportive therapy, traversing the many layers and aspects of their life.
I am a psychologist who works well with adults facing life transitions such as parenting, changes in relationships, career shifts, crises of faith, or loss of a loved one. My doctoral research on self-sabotaging dynamics has informed my clinical approach to addressing patterns of "stuckness."
