Sessions are interactive and offered in a person-centered approach.
Taking the first step to get in and talk to a therapist about concerns that are holding you back or creating challenges is not easy. But it can really make a difference. The issues or concerns you have may be preventing you from moving forward or from having fulfilling relationships, career or a satisfying life. Whether it's communication problems, anger, anxiety, or depression, you can make changes. Using verbal and non-verbal therapeutic techniques, in a safe, accepting environment, you can find new ways to face your concerns, and discover your strengths and resources to flourish and grow.

Into my CBT foundation, I integrate a variety of Depth and Person-Centered therapeutic theories, evidence-based interventions, and nature connection practices to support the growth and well-being of my clients and their community.
I offer individual services to youth 16 and up! I especially am interested in supporting queer-identified folks, caregivers (mental health providers, teachers, parents, caregivers, nurses, ), creators and change-makers. Re-orienting to life sustaining processes when healing from trauma or navigating life's transitional moments, is a constant practice. Ideally I work with folks who want a deeper understanding of their inner-workings as well as grow into their most empowered self. And build the resources to maintain that empowered self.

I do this from the Person-Centered approach, which is based on building a non-judgmental and empathetic relationship.
With more than 20 yrs as a life coach and now a clinical psychologist as well, I work with the elderly and their family members who are experiencing gerontological issues. This can be either within the family or in a residential setting. I work with couples in primary relationships with external issues that can include unemployment, substance abuse, parenting, as well as those specific to the relationship such as communication difficulties and maintaining a healthy sexual/intimate life. For individuals who are stuck in any area, together we'll identify the issues and how to resolve them.

While I am rooted in the person-centered approach, I use some combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and other approaches.
I am Zdravko but I mostly go by Z. I was born in former Yugoslavia. At the age of 14, circumstances forced me to leave my homeland. After a few years in Germany, in the late 90's I embarked on a new chapter by moving to the United States. My journey through life and career has been marked by diverse experiences, including roles in mortgage banking, retail, and ride-sharing, as well as being a parent and getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, all of which have profoundly influenced my approach as a therapist.
