Michelle Zak, LMHC

Michelle Zak, LMHC

Psychotherapist
89-14 Parsons Blvd, Ste 24 5th Fl, Jamaica, NY
A strong therapeutic connection is essential to effective care. I believe progress happens when both therapist and client take the time to genuinely understand one another. Our work is a collaborative process, just as you get to know me, I take the time to learn who you are, what matters to you, and how you experience the world. That mutual understanding forms the foundation for meaningful change. We all carry a deep inner strength and light within us. Sometimes it might feel quiet or hidden, but it’s always there. My goal is to help you reconnect with that strength, tuning in to your feelings so you can lead life in a way that reflects your authentic self. Over time, that inner light becomes brighter, more confident, and powerful. My approach is integrative and evidence-based, blending CBT, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered care. I believe mental health is shaped by the mind-body connection and each person’s unique story. With that, I support clients facing anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Together, we’ll focus on strengthening inner confidence, deepening self-awareness, and reconnecting with your authentic self. Honoring your unique identity and experiences, I provide a safe, affirming space that nurtures resilience, clarity, and growth—meeting you where you are to support lasting change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

***DISCLAIMER*** Clients are required to upload photos of their insurance card, front and back, when booking a session through Zocdoc. It is necessary to complete the full intake paperwork prior to their first scheduled session as well. ***************************************************************************

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Starting therapy can feel uncertain, but it’s often the first step toward understanding yourself and finding lasting relief. My approach is structured, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. Our work begins with an intake session, where we explore your history, current challenges, and what brought you to therapy. This forms the basis for a psychosocial assessment, which helps identify key patterns and factors affecting your well-being. From there, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan focused on your goals. Whether that means reducing anxiety or depression, improving relationships, managing stress, or increasing emotional awareness. In ongoing sessions, we use proven methods like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and goal-oriented interventions to build insight and create measurable progress. My aim is to help you develop practical skills and a deeper understanding of yourself, so you can navigate challenges with clarity and confidence.
