Orlando Zuniga, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Los Angeles CA
I work collaboratively with clients to understand not only what is causing distress, but the patterns, relationships, experiences, and circumstances that may be contributing to it. My style is warm, engaged, and direct. I respect each person's pace while also helping us move toward the goals we establish together.
My work is integrative and individualized. Depending on your needs, therapy may draw from relational and psychodynamic approaches, attachment theory, mindfulness and contemplative practices, somatic awareness, harm reduction, and other evidence-informed psychological approaches. I may also incorporate symbolic or archetypal exploration when it is meaningful to the client as a framework for reflection and meaning-making.
Through Transforma Therapy, I provide psychotherapy to clients in California and Nevada, along with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, preparation, and integration. I support the psychological process before, during, and after psychedelic experiences when appropriate within the treatment model and jurisdiction. When medical services are involved, I collaborate with appropriately licensed medical professionals who are responsible for prescribing, medication administration, medical monitoring, and other medical aspects of care.
I am especially interested in helping people translate insight into meaningful change. Whether we are working with relationships and intimacy, longstanding psychological patterns, major life transitions, men's psychological development, or psychedelic experiences, our work focuses on bringing greater awareness into everyday life, relationships, choices, and behavior.
Orlando Zuniga, LMFT, is a licensed psychotherapist, educator, and founder of Transforma Therapy. He provides psychotherapy in California and Nevada and specializes in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, psychedelic preparation and integration, relationships and intimacy, men's psychological development, life transitions, and personal transformation.
Orlando's approach has developed through more than a decade of clinical practice across private practice, healthcare, community mental health, psychedelic care, and educational settings. He is bilingual in English and Spanish and brings a multicultural perspective shaped by living between cultures and by extensive international experience.
His work in psychedelic psychotherapy is informed by specialized professional training through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, MAPS, Fluence, and other clinical psychedelic settings. He supports clients across the arc of the psychedelic process—including preparation, therapeutic presence during appropriate medicine sessions, and integration. When medical services are part of treatment, he works collaboratively with appropriately licensed medical professionals who are responsible for prescribing, medication administration, medical monitoring, and other medical aspects of care.
Orlando is particularly interested in the intersection of modern psychology, contemplative traditions, embodiment, relationships, and non-ordinary states of consciousness. His approach respects both scientific and psychological frameworks while remaining open to the ways people make meaning from profound or transformative experiences.
At the center of his work is a simple question: how can insight become meaningful change? Whether working with relationships, psychological patterns, major transitions, or psychedelic experiences, Orlando helps clients translate greater awareness into changes that can be lived and sustained.
