Getting to know Eilene Zimmerman

Hi there, I'm Eilene! I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience providing care to adults coping with both straightforward and complex mental health issues. I work from a strengths-based perspective, grounded in the belief that each of us possesses the skills and abilities needed to understand and untangle problematic thinking and behaviors. My approach In my practice, I help clients confront a range of mental health challenges, including mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, as well as family conflict, parenting problems, post-traumatic stress disorder, relationship problems, and grief. I also work with clients navigating stressful life transitions and life crises, such as divorce, new parenthood, the death of a loved one, job loss, or an unexpected traumatic experience. I use a psychodynamic approach that respects the relationship between therapist and patient, incorporates mindfulness practices, and supports the unique complexity of each individual. My focus I take a special interest in those dealing with the changes that come with aging, including life as an empty-nester, the transition to ending or stepping back professionally, retirement, age-related health issues, relationship challenges, and the psychological and emotional stress of managing elderly parents. I often work with those seeking deeper self-understanding and healing, interested in exploring issues of life’s meaning and purpose. My communication style My style is warm, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I see psychotherapy as a tool to help my patients move forward in their lives. My goals for you I consider therapy a collaborative process. Together, we will work to identify issues that are important to you and the goals you hope to achieve, whether that's lowering day-to-day anxiety, identifying a sense of purpose in your life, improving a relationship, processing grief, or building self-esteem.
