It's nice to meet you. My name is Stacey Zimmerman and I'm a licensed clinical social worker in KY, UT, and ME (soon to be AZ, CT, FL). My practice style is simple yet effective. I take pride in my values and morals to remain grounded in the golden rule: To treat others how you would like to be treated. I listen to listen; not listen to speak. Time and attention are always given. Humility is my centerpiece. Goal setting must be a bidirectional process which means communication is had between the client and myself. I like to say I am merely the bus driver in session which only maximizes the client's autonomy.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, motherhood, or ADHD that affects every aspect of your day-to-day? Do you feel exhausted and overwhelmed from carrying the never-ending mental load of your household? Do you wonder if things will ever get easier? So many things in life are out of our control, leaving us to feel helpless that anything will change. You may feel burned out, exhausted, and can’t seem to figure out how to get out of this cycle. Now more than ever, people are feeling the pressure to do all the things in all their roles - perfectly. This is unsustainable - which you know, or you wouldn’t be here reading this.
