Shelly Zavala
About Shelly
I am a licensed psychotherapist and Doctor of Psychology with a relational, integrative approach to care. My work is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when people feel safe enough to slow down, become curious, and explore their inner experience without pressure or judgment. I have 25 years experience and passionate about my practice. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, and periods of feeling stuck despite prior therapy. My approach integrates psychodynamic, attachment-based, somatic, and interpersonal neurobiology perspectives, with attention to emotional patterns, relational history, and the nervous system’s role in shaping experience. My purpose in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is to support the psychological and relational conditions that allow insight, emotional movement, and integration to emerge naturally. I work best with clients who are curious, reflective, and open to exploring their inner world with honesty and care.
