Zion Counseling Center offers thoughtful, faith-informed online therapy only for clients who want real support for anxiety, stress, relationships, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. Work with Josie in New York through private pay or select insurance options.

For clients who request it, Christian faith and biblical wisdom can be meaningfully integrated into therapy. Faith is never imposed.

What We Help With

MEET THE FOUNDER

I’M TONY, AND I SEE YOU.

Tony Lopez, Ed.S., LMHC

I specialize in working with adult men and couples, offering a practical, authentic approach that blends faith and evidence-based therapy.

My areas of focus include Christian Counseling, EMDR, anxiety, depression, leadership, men’s issues, and couples work. For those who want it, I integrate spirituality into sessions in a balanced, down-to-earth way.

I meet clients where they are with honesty, respect, and sometimes a touch of humor. My goal is to create a safe space where you can be real, find clarity, and move toward growth.

I am licensed in the following states:

Our Counseling Approach

We combine evidence-based therapy with practical strategies to help clients create real change. Faith-informed care is available for those who want it, while always respecting individual preferences.

The Serenity Prayer

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time.
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as he did, the sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that he will make all things right
if I surrender to His will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever.

—Reinhold Niebuhr, 1892-1971
