Hi, I’m Nayeli.
Nayeli Corona-Zitney, LCSW, SEP, PMH-C
Licensed Clinical Social Worker LCSW 69624
I believe meaningful healing involves creating space for the body, heart, and mind to heal together.
For the past 16 years, I’ve walked alongside individuals through seasons of change, grief, motherhood, trauma, and growth. My hope is to offer a therapeutic space where you can slow down, feel supported, and reconnect with yourself.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, Certified EMDR Therapist™, and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Therapist. My approach is holistic and attachment-focused, integrating Somatic Experiencing®, EMDR, and IFS-informed parts work.
Therapy That Goes Beyond Insight
Sometimes we understand why we feel the way we do, yet our bodies continue to respond as though something isn't safe.
This is why I am passionate about Somatic Experiencing® and trauma-focused therapy. Together, we can explore how experiences may live within the nervous system through anxiety, tension, hypervigilance, shutdown, people-pleasing, or chronic overwhelm.
I work with women and adults navigating:
Trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and attachment stress, life transitions, pregnancy and postpartum experiences, birth and medical trauma, and high sensitivity.
I have a particular passion for supporting women and mothers through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, motherhood, identity, and relationships.
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what needs to change. We can discover that together, at a pace that honors you.
Always Learning, Always Growing
My work continues to evolve through advanced training, consultation, and ongoing study in Somatic Experiencing®, body-based trauma therapy, and perinatal mental health.
I believe being a therapist means remaining a student - not only of the approaches I practice, but also of the people who trust me with their stories.
I also facilitate a free virtual Pregnancy & Postpartum Stress Support Group for mothers in Southern California and provide education on perinatal mental health.

A Little About Me Beyond the Therapy Room
Outside of my work, I’m a wife and mother. I’m nourished by time outdoors with my family, running, hiking, meditation, reading, podcasts, and a really good cup of tea or coffee.
I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, and I value bringing warmth, cultural awareness, intention, and authenticity into the relationships I build.
My own commitment to growth, both personally and professionally, continues to shape the therapist I am.
