About me
I am a Marriage & Family Therapist and have been providing therapy, consultation and support for couples, families and individuals for over 12 years. I lived and worked in Hilo, Hawaii for many years where I completed my education before moving to California. I have worked with people from all walks of life and from many cultures experiencing myriad challenges that life can present.
We live in a demanding culture in which the choices and pressures of everyday life can become overwhelming; confusion, depression and anxiety can be a result. Career and lifestyle choices can be daunting and cause both interpersonal and intrapersonal conflict. Relationships can suffer. I have worked with couples to break through the fog of life’s demands to see one another again. I have assisted couples to rediscover, redefine, re-enliven, and re-imagine their relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help generate self-affirming ideas and change thought patterns towards a hopeful and resilient future. To relieve stress and gain perspective, I focus on mindfulness and integrative practices leading toward a centered and more balanced life. For those struggling to balance career with relationship or family demands, I can offer a solution-focused approach.
Every situation is interesting and I enjoy the journey of discovery with everyone, increasing insight and finding solutions. I recognize that people are incredibly unique and they have freedom of choice in all aspects of lifestyle, personal relationship and family arrangement. I deeply respect each person and their choices.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Zoe Avalon. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Zoe is a very competent and effective counselor. She is professional, understanding and compassionate at the same. Zoe is very well versed and knowledgeable in the work done at the Gottman Institute, an approach which we found to be very clear, easy to understand, and, most importantly practical to implement in a real world relationship. Zoe is a very personable and easy to talk to counselor and knows when to jump in, and when to let couples talk it through. I would highly recommend Zoe for couples counseling.
Zoe is very considerate and looks at things from multiple perspectives. She leverages her years of clinical experience and is very thoughtful in her analysis and the way she engages with patients. I highly recommend Zoe.
Zoe is a very wise, patient, and helpful counselor. We feel very lucky to have found someone so capable and caring.
