Griselda Zermino, LMFT
Therapist
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist 120176
Languages: English and Spanish
Offices: Paramount

Griselda utilizes an integrative approach to psychotherapy. Integrative psychotherapy considers the many different aspects of human functioning.  In this approach, the client’s needs, inclinations, spiritual beliefs, inspirations, purpose, goals, skills, age, and preferences guide the therapist on the best approach to therapy for each individual. Griselda’s purpose is to find what works for each client, empower their abilities, and elicit their personal growth. She is also an advocate for inclusion and diversity. She believes that being different is a gift. Diversity is more than checking a box of demographics on paper. From her perspective, diversity goes beyond what we see on the outside, the physical differences. It also includes how we define ourselves, our experiences, our stories, and our willingness to include others who may have a different perspective, background, or socioeconomic status. As we embrace our differences and celebrate our diversity, we can grow as individuals and society
