Dr. Zimet is absolutely amazing. After feeling like I was getting nowhere and not truly "seen" by a handful of other therapists, meeting with Dr. Zimet was a completely different experience. She genuinely listens and offers real advice, and if you are willing to put in the work on making real improvements she will help you get there. After years of being in a depressive rut due to a number of things going on in my life, she has helped me understand myself better, work through past problems that were creating negative patterns of behavior, and moreover, has shown she genuinely cares about me as a person outside of our professional relationship. I recommend her to anyone willing to sit down and be honest with themselves - she will help you through that journey and you will come out so much better for it. 10/10 recommendation, I wish all therapists were as amazing as Dr. Zimet.

Without a doubt Dr ZIMET is 1000 percent professional, respectful, kind and truly cares about her patients. I have seen therapists in the past and she is by far the best in my opinion. She is so thoughtful, caring, intelligent and you can tell in her work how dedicated she is to her profession. Dr ZIMET is worth every penny even if your insurance does not cover it. I promise she is one of the best I have encountered in her field.
