Zina Mercil

Zina Mercil is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 10 years of experience supporting adults through demanding life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and the steady work of personal growth. She offers a compassionate, holistic style of therapy for people looking for grounded support with stress, anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes, including career exploration, coaching, and compassion fatigue.

Her work often centers on the intersection of mental health and real-world pressures such as medical and health-related setbacks, chronic pain, illness, and disability, workplace stress and burnout, and questions of identity and professional purpose. Zina helps clients build self-understanding, strengthen communication, reduce self-criticism, and develop practical ways to navigate challenging environments while reconnecting with what matters most to them.

With an extensive background in mindfulness, somatic practices, Internal Family Systems, and self-compassion, she aims to meet each person with empathy, respect, and professional guidance. Her practice is also attentive to concerns that can arise across the lifespan, including midlife experiences, aging and geriatric issues, retirement, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and complex emotional landscapes. In therapy, Zina collaborates with clients to develop resilient coping strategies and meaningful pathways toward personal wellness.
