Hello! My name is Zachary! I am happy you visited my profile. Before you begin browsing, I just want to say you are strong and you have incredible power in you to journey towards healing. I believe in your success and your potential.
I received my Bachelor of Arts at Goshen College and my Master of Social Work at Andrews University. I am a LCSW in Indiana, LISW-S in Ohio, and a LSCSW in Kansas.
I have experience in care management and facilitation, providing counseling to juveniles on probation, delivering therapy to those who have been court ordered, doing home-based clinical services, implementing and administering Family Centered Treatment© to families, hospice social work, community mental health, certified clinical behavioral health clinics, conducting counseling to geriatric and SPMI populations, as well as telehealth.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 11+ years of experience working with teens and adults. I help people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and major life transitions, with a particular focus on self-worth, healthy boundaries, understanding the patterns that shape our relationships, and finding our way back to ourselves.
A lot of the work I do is about figuring out who you are, what you want, and what healthy connection actually looks like—whether that's in dating, marriage, family, or friendships. Sometimes we lose ourselves trying to keep everyone else happy, and part of the work is finding your way back.
I'm laid-back, honest, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not like you're being judged or talked at. We'll have real conversations, find the humor when we can, and make space for both the hard days and the growth. You don't have to have everything figured out before you start therapy. You just have to show up as you are—or wherever you are in the process of figuring out who you are.
