Image of an AAPI therapist for women in San Francisco and across California. AAPI therapist specializes in anxiety treatment for women.

Welcome! I’m Abigail.

10 years ago I discovered how little Western Psychology understood the unique societal pressures and biological intersections of our female reproductive system on mental health. To me this was unexceptable. As women, we deserve competent care. That’s why I started this small but mighty practice.

You can trust when you sit with a provider at Zyla Care you’re working with a competent and caring clinician who not only understands from a lived experience but has the science to support you. When you sit with a provider at Zyla Care you’re invited to let the “should’s” fall away and for once you can consider what you truly want, who you truly are, and through this process become Authentically and confidently you.

Our Mission is to offer the most effective therapy treatment for Women in California. Our goal is to empower women with tools and education that not only free them from Anxiety but connect them to their Ancestral Roots, Authenticity, and Community.

Our Therapeutic Approach

Our approach is relational (aka feminist) and collaborative. We have been where you are and now have the honor to share our privileged knowledge with you.

When it comes to healing, we believe you must approach healing holistically. This means getting to the root of what is ailing someone along with understanding the socio-political context that impacts them. We use a blend of the most advanced psychological technology to offer you a powerful mind-body-spirit transformation. This includes EMDR, ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), and IFS (Internal Family Systems aka parts work).

Last but not least, we have found that for Women, connecting to our Ancestral roots is a powerful force for grounding and confidence.
