Jane Zaldivar, M. A., Resident in Counseling

Practicing Since: 2018

If you are looking for someone to walk alongside you, to support you in the challenge you are facing, Jane offers you empathy, understanding and a non-judgmental space to process your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Mental health is based on being in healthy relationship with oneself and others. Building a relationship of trust, respect, and humility between the therapist and the client is the foundation for the client to flourish. Therapy is a journey of discovery to better understand your thoughts and feelings (origin and triggers) so that you can have the tools to build healthy relationships and make healthy decisions.

Jane creates a safe environment where you will feel seen, heard, and understood- you can take off your “mask.”  She will work with you to remove barriers, gain skills, and grow into your best self. Jane believes life is a journey of ups and downs, interspersed with victories and losses. She will inspire you to tell your story with honesty and compassion, and to shift your perspective from pain, loss, and sorrow to beauty, desire, and hope. She also provides spiritual integration and faith-based interventions for interested clients. She enjoys working with clients holistically – spirit, soul, and body.

Jane enjoys visiting museums and exploring different ethnic restaurants with her husband.  She is a classically trained pianist and enjoys music related activities like choir, concerts, and various styles of music, including jazz, gospel, and classical.

Jane practices in the state of Virginia under the clinical supervision of LeeAnn Gumulauskas, LPC (VA Lic# 0701008515).
