Hello! You've made the first step by logging on. Are you anxious and overwhelmed? Feeling down? Unfufilled in your relationships? If you’re new to therapy and you’re worried about getting started, you’re not alone! It can feel awkward to talk to a stranger about your life. I’d be glad to help you get started. In a time where face to face communication is less and less frequent, it is extremely beneficial to be supported and witnessed by another human being. Whether you are struggling with depression or looking for a new perspective, therapy can help. Take your time and find the therapist that is right for you!
I work with individuals and families on a broad spectrum of issues. I am primarily a Relational EMDR therapist and I work to find the best combination of tools to elicit change and positive growth. My specialties include: Generalized and acute anxiety; PTSD; Complex Trauma; Depression; Self-awareness; sexual & gender issues
I am not currently accepting new clients at this time. Please feel free to contact Larchmere Center for Well-being to be connected to a clinician on our fantastic team. I work closely with our therapists at LCW and my EMDR consultees.
Call or Ben Zimmer now for a free 15 minute consultation - (216) 279-0398
