Bianca Zuniga-Quintana,
MA, AMFT
I specialize in working with children and teens who need support in open communication about emotions, trauma, anxiety, and behavioral issues. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where young clients can explore their feelings and develop effective coping strategies.
In addition to my work with youth, I also support couples facing difficulties in trust, intimacy, and communication. I am here to guide you through the process of reconnecting and building a stronger partnership.

Education
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Sacramento State University and went on to earn my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University. My studies focused on therapeutic techniques for individuals, families, and couples. This background allows me to offer heartfelt and effective support, helping my clients navigate their mental health and relationship challenges.
Professional
I bring a wealth of experience from my previous role at a non-profit, where I spent two years supporting low-income families, teens, and couples facing trauma and mental health challenges. This work gave me extensive experience in addressing complex issues and creating tailored interventions.
My journey into therapy was inspired by my own experiences with intergenerational trauma. Witnessing these patterns in my family motivated me to pursue a career dedicated to helping others overcome similar challenges. My goal is to empower clients to break free from entrenched patterns and build healthier, more resilient lives.
This blend of professional experience and personal insight drives my approach to therapy. It allows me to connect deeply with clients and support them through their healing processes. I am grateful to be part of the Davis Group, where I can continue my passion for helping others.

Personal
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy activities that bring me joy and relaxation. I love attending sporting events and the excitement of live music. When I’m at home, you’ll often find me immersed in a good podcast, one of my favorite pastimes.
I also have a passion for traveling, especially to places near water. Whether it’s a serene beach or a calm lake, being near water always provides a refreshing escape and a sense of peace.

Lastly, only complete the “Release of Information” if requested once we begin meeting. I will provide you with the password.
