Brainspotting will now be offered at PACC:

What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.

Brainspotting functions as a neurobiological tool to support the clinical healing relationship. There is no replacement for a mature, nurturing therapeutic presence and the ability to engage another suffering human in a safe and trusting relationship where they feel heard, accepted, and understood.

Brainspotting gives us a tool, within this clinical relationship, to neurobiologically locate, focus, process, and release experiences and symptoms that are typically out of reach of the conscious mind and its cognitive and language capacity.

Brainspotting works with the deep brain and the body through its direct access to the autonomic and limbic systems within the body’s central nervous system. Brainspotting is accordingly a physiological tool/treatment which has profound psychological, emotional, and physical consequences.

our team:

Gabriela Gonzalez-Zuniga, AMFT

I am a bilingual Latina clinician, shaped by the resilience of my immigrant parents, whose sacrifices have instilled in me a deep commitment to serving my community. My journey into the field of therapy is rooted in a passion for helping others heal, grow, and thrive.

I earned my academic training at California State University, Chico, and California State University, Fullerton, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based practices. I work with individuals, children, couples, and families, addressing a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges such as communication, trust, intimacy, emotional regulation, and substance use.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion and collaboration, integrating Attachment Theory, Person-Centered Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe that therapy is a transformative process and a space where clients can feel truly heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

I also believe that if nothing changes, nothing changes. By raising awareness and consciousness, clients can begin to rewrite the patterns that hold them back and move toward the life they envision. I aspire to help change the world one heart at a time.

Outside of the therapy room, I find joy in arts and crafts, music, exploring nature, running, and nurturing my spirituality. These experiences continually remind me of the importance of balance, connection, and living with intention.

Chante Rae, AMFT

My name is Chante Rae, and I am an associate marriage and family therapist.

I am a warm, welcoming, and intuitive therapist who believes that meaningful change begins with feeling truly seen and understood. My approach is open-minded, collaborative, and tailored to each individual, couple, or family I work with. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, build insight, and develop practical tools for lasting growth.

I specialize in working with mood disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and borderline personality disorder, as well as addictions, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. I also have a strong commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and those navigating adoption and foster care experiences, recognizing the unique strengths and complexities within these journeys.

My work integrates a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Motivational Interviewing. This integrative style allows me to meet you where you are and adapt our work to your goals, whether that involves building coping skills, healing from past experiences, improving relationships, or deepening self-understanding.

I view therapy as a partnership—one grounded in trust, curiosity, and compassion. Together, we can work toward helping you feel more balanced, empowered, and connected in your life.

Corinna Roberston, AMFT

I was born and raised in this wonderful northern state and graduated from Shasta College. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology (MACP) from National University with honors and was inducted into an honor society. I have been with PACC for three years and am currently a qualified Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT).

I am certified and experienced in working with individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and specialized behavioral needs, including family intervention and behavioral modification. My therapeutic approach is integrative, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused therapy.

Additionally, I am a Certified Equine Assisted Therapist, utilizing the presence of horses to help clients cope with stress and anxiety, facilitate trauma healing, and establish healthy boundaries. My passion is to empower individuals to create the life they have always dreamed of.

Richard Robinson, Trainee MFT

I am a therapist trainee completing my practicum. I moved to Redding over twenty-five years ago after completing my service in the U.S. Navy, and I’ve built a deep connection to this community and its access to nature. My work in mental health began in residential treatment, where I supported high‑risk youth and learned the importance of rapport, safety, and ethical care.

For the past few years, I’ve worked as a Mental Health Technician in a psychiatric health facility, gaining extensive experience with diverse clinical presentations, crisis response, and interdisciplinary teamwork. These professional experiences, combined with my graduate training in counseling psychology at Simpson University, have prepared me to begin supervised clinical practice and continue developing my identity as a counselor. Outside of work, I value time with my daughter, friends, and family. I also enjoy camping, fishing, hiking the local trails, and maintaining an active lifestyle.

Leanna Gameon, Trainee MFT

I am a therapist trainee completing my practicum as I work toward becoming a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My path into the counseling field has been shaped by a lifelong commitment to supporting youth, families, and individuals through education, mental health advocacy, and trauma-informed care. I believe every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported as they navigate challenges, build resilience, and move toward healing.

In my current role as a social worker with EA Family Services, I oversee THP cases, IFSC services, and FFA-related responsibilities. This work has strengthened my ability to collaborate with families, care teams, and community partners while supporting clients through complex systems with empathy, professionalism, and advocacy.

My professional background includes experience in residential treatment, education, child development, and family services. I have served in leadership roles within licensed group homes, where I supervised daily operations, supported staff during crisis situations, and helped implement trauma-informed interventions for youth with complex needs. I also spent years as a Head Teacher with Shasta Head Start, developing curriculum, partnering with school districts, and helping young children reach important developmental milestones in structured and nurturing learning environments.

My experience as a foster parent has also deeply influenced the way I understand trust, stability, attachment, and advocacy. It has given me a personal and professional appreciation for the importance of creating safe, consistent, and supportive relationships, especially for children and families who have experienced disruption, trauma, or transition.

I hold a master’s degree in education, a master’s degree in psychology, and degrees in Child Development. I am currently pursuing my LPCC and LMFT through Simpson University and continuing to grow as a developing clinician. As a therapist trainee, I bring warmth, organization, cultural humility, and a client-centered approach to my work. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore their strengths, process their experiences, and take meaningful steps toward healing and personal growth.
