Alban Zamora, LCSW

I work primarily with adult men and couples — including LGBTQ+ individuals and partners — who are navigating life transitions, challenges in intimacy, communication, parenting, or a deeper sense of meaning. Sometimes the issue is obvious; other times it’s harder to name: a growing distance, recurring misunderstandings, or questions about desire, identity, and direction in life.

Why therapy? Because it offers one of the rare spaces where we intentionally press pause. The world around us rarely slows down — it fills us with noise, information, and urgency. Therapy creates an opportunity to step back, breathe, and listen more carefully to what is happening within. Sometimes that exploration happens through conversation; other times through somatic (body) awareness, mindfulness, music, or other creative approaches. No two sessions are ever the same.

My approach to therapy is integrative, solution-focused, and informed by perspectives that help explore the deeper dynamics shaping your inner world. With advanced training in couples therapy and sex therapy, I welcome people from a wide range of backgrounds and relationship structures, from monogamous to ethically non-monogamous, polyamorous, and other diverse forms of partnership and intimacy.

I also recognize that talk therapy alone may not always be enough. As an EMDR Certified Therapist™, I use this and other trauma-informed approaches when past experiences continue to shape the present. EMDR can help process unresolved memories more directly, so therapy doesn’t have to mean spending years revisiting the same stories.

My perspective is rooted in a multicultural life. Having lived and studied in five countries, I often work with people navigating different languages, cultures, and expectations around relationships, identity, and family. My background is in Communications; I earned my master’s in journalism in Madrid, then worked for many years in broadcast television. I felt deeply called to the mental health field and completed my master’s in clinical social work in Washington, DC. I am currently a PhD candidate in psychology at the University of Buenos Aires, researching the effects of belonging in our mental health. I enjoy biking, reading, and board games with family and friends.
