Hello there:
I am pleased that you have found yourself curious about starting therapy with me. For detailed information about my practice and me, Please see my website at:
www.shayzimmer.com
Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.
For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.
As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.
Hi, I'm Joanna. I'm a licensed professional counselor-supervisor and I've been in private practice for 15 years. I see therapy as an educative process, and I utilize creative, adaptive therapeutic approaches in our work together. I work with people experiencing trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, chronic pain/illness, and adjustment challenges. Treatment modalities include CBT, EMDR, KAP (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy), DBT, somatic modalities, meditation, mindfulness, play/sand play modalities, energy psychology, and brief solution-focused therapies.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in providing therapeutic services to adults (18+) in individual, group, and couples formats. My foundational background with mental health services comes from my experience working in inpatient psychiatric settings with severe mental disorders and substance use/addiction. I am also fluently bilingual in Spanish.
Now taking in office clients Tuesday nights in San Antonio! Virtual clients Monday nights. I seek to help individuals heal on the threefold path: mind, body, and spirit. I work with clients with a variety of issues: addictions, anxiety disorders, trauma/PTSD, sexuality issues, mental wellness for management of depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and adjustment to major life transitions and decisions. I am of service to the LGBTQIAA+ community, Kink/fet ENM, poly, non religious, all walks of life off the beaten path are welcome here.
Please note when booking Tuesday evenings are live in person sessions and all other days are virtual.
Hello! I am a Licensed Practicing Counselor and Art Therapist here to help you navigate emotional hardships and invest in your mental health and well-being.
I have experience in working with children, adolescents, adults, groups, and couples. My techniques range from a variety of modalities including a person-centered approach, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy. While working alongside my clients, I provide individualized treatment for a wide range of concerns.
I earned my bachelor's in Psychology at Smith College and my master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Rowan University. I believe in tailoring my clients' experience to their likes and needs. I enjoy creative therapy, ACT, manifestations, physical activity, CBT, and strength-based approaches to help individuals reach their full potential.
I am a wife and mother and have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy using creative outlets to help make therapy a fully integrated experience.
