Hunter Zelner, MFT

I have a deep desire to explore, understand, and empower my clients. I am direct, candid, warm and open. I work to create safe and nonjudgmental brave spaces with my clients through shared curiosity. I am passionate about working with my clients to recognize larger systems that they interact with throughout their lives and how these systems impact their personal identities. I am Kink/BDSM, non-monogamy, body neutral and queer aligned. I believe that therapy is political and is a space where clients can be intentional about their identities. Some topics I enjoy working with are gender affirming care, chronic pain, working through infidelity, aging clients, navigating multiple racial and cultural identities, and processing sexual trauma. 

I choose to bring my full self to the therapy space including my candor, humor, and a deep sense of empathy to support clients. I draw from a mixture of therapeutic models including Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Somatic Experiencing Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I find that using a mixture of approaches with clients enables me to tailor care to each unique system I work with.
