Traci Zuniga MA, LCPC

Because there is no rulebook for life, our work focuses on building on the strengths, insights, and potential already within you.

Additionally, I offer telehealth therapy across Illinois. The space I create is safe and grounded in healing, built on a strong therapeutic relationship. While my clinical style is supportive, it is also direct. At the same time, I remain highly attentive and look for opportunities to form meaningful connections, even in nuanced or complex experiences. I have helped clients navigate complex situations by challenging what is left unsaid or what people around us have messaged as inappropriate responses to our emotions.

My practice is rooted in trauma-informed, relational, and person-centered care. In particular, I specialize in trauma, grief, and loss therapy, relationships, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, life transitions, and substance use. As a result, clients often feel supported in exploring both immediate concerns and deeper emotional patterns. By finding yourself here, you have already begun your healing journey, and you do not have to navigate it alone.

Let’s connect today. Currently, I have immediate availability for individual telehealth appointments. In addition, I co-facilitate the Grief Support Group with Jialu Li, BA, LPC, which meets on Tuesdays from 6–7 PM.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Concordia University Chicago. Over the years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings. As a result, my approach remains holistic and eclectic, with particular attention to acceptance, gratitude, and mindfulness. Ultimately, I am deeply committed to creating a space where your needs and desires are prioritized so you can create the life you want to live.
