Getting to know Peggy Zherdev

Hi there, I'm Peggy! My name is Peggy Zherdev, LCSW #120636. I provide therapy with a client-centered, strengths-based approach focused on meeting my clients where they are to help them get to a better place. The clients I work with are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting, understanding neurodivergence (ADHD or Autism), relationship issues, and/or grief. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Boston University, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively. My approach I focus on listening to my client's story and the strengths they bring into therapy. From there, I use concepts from different therapeutic models to figure out what works best for the client, while also challenging them to make the changes needed to achieve their goals. My focus I work with adults, teens, and children. I also support teachers and school staff with their mental health, as well as parents seeking guidance with parenting. My communication style I like to create a friendly space where clients feel comfortable and heard. I work on helping my clients build their own self-empathy and self-compassion, and I hope to convey the same to them. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I enjoy working with people on their goals and supporting them through the journey of improving their mental health. I do this work to represent the hope we all need when trying to get better with our mental health. My goals for you Goals are very important in therapy, as well as having a way to measure them. That means we will create these goals together. My first session with you During our first session, I will work on understanding what you seek support with in the present, such as what brought you into therapy at this time. We will talk about the symptoms you are experiencing and start to think about goals we can set up. We will also discuss your medical and mental health history.
