About Thelma Melissa Mora Zazueta

Watch this short video to learn more about my approach to therapy and how I support clients through anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

My Approach to Therapy

I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and practical. My goal is to help you understand what you are going through, develop coping tools, and create meaningful change in your life.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or unsure about their next steps. Together, we work to reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and build confidence.

I provide a non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings while learning strategies that help you feel more in control of your life.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on real-life solutions that support long-term emotional well-being.

Education and Professional Background

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with experience providing therapy to adults, teens, and couples in both community mental health and private practice settings.

I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University and a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Psychology from City University of Seattle. My clinical work focuses on helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and life transitions.

I am trained in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA)

These approaches help clients develop coping skills, process difficult experiences, improve emotional regulation, and build resilience.

I am committed to providing ethical, compassionate, and culturally responsive care to individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Who I Work With

I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who are seeking support, clarity, and practical tools to improve their emotional well-being.

I provide therapy for:

• Couples working to improve communication and connection
• High-achieving professionals feeling overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted
• Individuals experiencing depression or loss of motivation
• People navigating life transitions, career changes, or relationship challenges

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about your next steps, therapy can provide support, clarity, and practical strategies to help you move forward.

I provide therapy for a variety of emotional and life challenges. My goal is to help clients develop practical skills, increase self-awareness, and create meaningful and lasting change.
