Getting to know Blake Zimmet

Hi there, I'm Blake! Hello, my name is Blake Zimmet. I serve as a psychotherapist (LCSW) and consultant here in San Diego, CA. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from San Diego State University and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland. I specialize in assisting individuals on their journey toward growth, healing, compassion (for self and others), and furthering their self-awareness. I believe in a holistic and integrated approach that considers the multifaceted nature of our humanity, including the conscious and unconscious dynamics and relationships that influence our lives. My approach I’m here to support you in a way that feels right for you, drawing from a variety of approaches I’ve learned and practiced over the years. I often use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, along with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to encourage you to embrace your experiences with openness and more vulnerability. I also integrate mindfulness techniques to help you stay grounded in the present, and I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a method that can help process past experiences that may feel ‘stuck’ or unresolved. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate transpersonal and integrative approaches to foster emotional resilience, personal growth, and a deeper sense of compassion and gratitude for yourself and others. Together, we’ll tailor a plan that supports your unique journey. My focus I would describe my work as trauma-informed and highly experienced in the areas of grief/loss, history of abuse, anxiety, depression, anger, stage of life issues, transition/change, chronic pain, and suffering. I believe that healing from hurtful experiences and relationships, as well as adding clarity and balance to present-day values, often benefits from the guidance and support that can be offered by a skilled, kind, and caring therapist.
