Hi, my name is Zena Caputo, and I decided to become a therapist after witnessing its incredible potential for healing for many people in my life and community—and it’s the continued hope, determination, and recovery I am privileged to witness in this work that keep me dedicated to this field. My experience includes working with youth and adults with a wide range of life and mental health challenges in a variety of clinical and community settings, as well as teaching and mentoring the next generation of therapist healers. I currently provide therapy services in California and Illinois.
I have a particular interest in supporting both those struggling with addiction and their family members. I have worked with and am knowledgeable about many available treatment programs and the recovery community. I also have a passion for working with trauma-survivors and those struggling with self-criticism, low self-worth, and anxiety. I have received in-depth training in evidence-based approaches to treating the trauma and adverse life experiences underlying many of these challenges, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR. Please read on below and visit my Therapy Services page to learn more.

Hi there! I’m a licensed psychotherapist and work with adults virtually in California and the Chicagoland area, as well as in-person in Long Beach. Learn more about my background and my approach to therapy.
I offer individual therapy services to adults focusing on addressing trauma, anxiety and ‘not feeling like enough,’ stress related to climate change, and substance use and addiction, among other challenges.
EMDR is a specialized and research-supported treatment for reducing the impacts of traumatic life experiences. If you’re a therapist, I’m also an EMDRIA Consultant In Training (CIT) and can support you on your EMDR journey.
