Hello there, my name is Zena Budiri, I am a mental health counselor who has been working at Maria Den Braven Center for over a year now. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Counseling and Mental Health from the University of Jordan. And a Master of Arts in Human Development Counseling from the University of
Illinois Springfield.
I have strong work ethic and extensive expertise in family systems theory, treatment planning, and crisis intervention. I work with individuals and couples facing mental and emotional health challenges. I use systems theory meaning that I see clients with a systematic view rather than an individualistic one.
I use Internal Family Systems as my main theory of practice while also incorporating elements from other theories such as Gestalt therapy and Human-Centered theory.
I see the world through your eyes and how you are experiencing it. I create a warm and welcoming setting, so in therapy with me, you are feel heard, accepted, and validated. That doesn’t mean you will not be challenged. But I will always meet you where you are and support you till you reach your desired goals.
