He/Him/Él

Julio Cesar Zamarripa (he/him/él) was born in Jalostotitlán, Jalisco, and is a first-generation student. He is the oldest of seven siblings and the first in his family to obtain an education higher than middle school. As part of the ESL program, he navigated K-12 with limited knowledge of higher education and eventually attended Sacramento City College. Julio grew up in Sacramento and then moved to Southern California for nearly ten years to complete his educational and career goals. Committed to positively impacting students'’ lives, Julio decided to pursue a career as a college admissions counselor before pursuing a career as a therapist. Julio is a bilingual, psychoeducation-focused Associate Professional Clinical Counselor specializing in working with young adults, college students, undocumented/immigrant individuals, therapy first-timers, and Latinx families. Julio encourages the client’s healing journey through a liberation-focused and social justice lens, further welcoming ancestral wisdom, community resourcing, and intergenerational work within the therapeutic relationship.
