Hi! I'm Zev.
I help teens and adults heal from OCD, anxiety, depression, and past trauma by providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help the people I work with take ownership of their story, their self, and their future.

Helping individuals become whole is central to fostering emotional health and well-being. I believe that integrating all parts of ourselves through evidence-based therapeutic approaches can lead to lasting peace and a greater sense of balance.

I believe you know the importance of finding someone who lets you take your time, respects your emotional discovery and upholds your dignity. You also know that your personal growth does not have to look like anybody else's. Your barriers and your strengths are uniquely yours. It is a challenging but deeply rewarding experience to learn about and accept those things about ourselves. I live to inspire people to discover themselves. I like showing up to every session with the patience and presence to ensure you experience those things. (Currently seeing people in person in Lakeland office. I do not have a Clermont office yet.)

I have been fortunate to have the majority of my referrals come through friends or family of prior clients. The passion I felt when entering the field of counseling 20 years ago, seems even greater today. More individuals and couples are genuinely motivated to seek deeper levels of understanding and self-awareness. Most behavior and thought patterns are learned early in our development. Many suffer due to repeated behavior and choices, involving friends, family, and relationships. Change in the choices we make, often results in positively altering the way we feel, perceive, and live life. Authentic change begins within oneself.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve your therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Why might an individual seek a male therapist?
Clients, particularly men, may look for a male therapist because they may share life experiences that help them connect well and understand each other more immediately. Some men might feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about gender-specific issues, such as fatherhood or the social pressures around masculinity. Men who have experienced trauma or abuse, sexual or otherwise, may find it more comfortable to talk through their memories of these experiences with a male therapist. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
Is therapy different for men and women?
Therapy can be different for men and women insofar as gender plays a role in the challenges an individual faces and the events in life an individual has experienced. Men often face different expectations from their families, friends, and society than women do. In some cases, men might feel most comfortable expressing themselves differently from how women do. Talking about one’s feelings and emotions is a critical part of most therapies, and some men might find it comes more naturally when talking to a male therapist. Ultimately, though, therapeutic treatment should be tailored to the individual’s specific needs.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
