Orlando Zuniga LMFT

My love of psychology began early in life; I was always interested in understanding why suffering occurs, both physical and mental, and how to reduce it. I grew up in a challenging bicultural environment where we spoke multiple languages, experienced two distinct cultures, and practiced multiple religions. For me, formal and experiential education has been a source of strength and courage to endure and overcome suffering. Coming from a multicultural home, foreign travel was always a must. I now use travel as an educational experience to better understand how humanity interacts with green environments, cultures, politics, and most importantly to learn how each society thrives. Throughout my life I have met many internationally seasoned friends that are healers such as Psychotherapists, Physicians, Registered Dietitians, Alternative Health Practitioners, Acupuncturists, Energy Masters, Priests, Shamans, Curanderos, Medicine Men. Little did I know I was being mentored by sage minds. When traveling internationally, I collaborate with complimentary health practitioners so that I may better understand how to integrate western and eastern health practice. I spent a year traveling in Latin America where I learned about shamanic healing with plant medicines in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest. I consider myself an integrative behavioral medicine provider with a passion for holistic health. Over time, I have come to realize all of my personal and professional experiences have led me to focus my work on Transpersonal and Depth Psychology. A few personal things about me: I love my family, spending the day in nature, dancing, music and yoga.  These activities nourish me.
