Primary Therapist
Juan Zambrano is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist who brings a thoughtful, compassionate approach to mental health treatment at The River Wellness Texas. Juan works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, problematic sexual behaviors, codependency, relationship and intimacy concerns, boundaries, and family-of-origin dynamics. He has particular experience helping individuals better understand the patterns, experiences, and behaviors that may be interfering with their relationships, emotional well-being, and ability to create meaningful change.
Juan’s clinical approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing from analytical and Jungian psychology, existential therapy, mindfulness, and other therapeutic modalities based on the needs of each client. His work with addiction and problematic sexual behaviors is grounded in an understanding that these concerns often exist alongside deeper emotional, relational, and mental health challenges. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms or behaviors, Juan helps clients explore the underlying experiences and patterns that may be contributing to them.
Born and raised in Dallas, Juan earned his BA in Psychology and MS in Counseling from Southern Methodist University. In addition to his clinical training, he has spent many years studying and teaching yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. These experiences have shaped his appreciation for the connection between emotional health, self-awareness, and the body while complementing his work as a therapist.
At The River Wellness Texas, Juan strives to create a supportive environment where clients can approach themselves with curiosity and honesty, develop greater self-awareness, and begin challenging long-standing patterns that no longer serve them. He believes meaningful change is rarely a straight line, but through a strong therapeutic relationship, greater insight, and a willingness to engage honestly in the process, clients can develop a deeper sense of trust in themselves and their ability to move forward.
