Zachary Leezer, MSW, LCSW

Psychotherapist
4305 N Lincoln Ave, Ste G, Chicago, IL
When anxiety, stress, and pressure start to get the best of you, it's easy to feel worthless or broken. I want to help you learn to change your negative self-talk and face the things you've been avoiding. You'd never dream of calling your loved ones “worthless,” “failure,” or “incompetent,” yet you have no problem saying those things to yourself. Therapy should support you in building a happy life, but how can you be happy when you constantly bully yourself? I am passionate about helping people see their inherent value and worth so that they can finally thrive. My treatment approach is affirming, collaborative, and at times humorous. I also use a social justice-oriented and body positive lens. I know that therapy shouldn't follow a one-size-fits-all approach, so I take care to listen to your particular circumstances and include you in the decision-making process about what you need to build the future you want. With all this said, I don't want everything to feel so heavy. You shouldn't dread therapy. It should be something you look forward to, even if it pushes you outside your comfort zone at times. I try to use humor to strike a balance between challenging and enjoyable, and make the process feel human rather than medical. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Chicago, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to provide compassionate and effective care. I am an award-winning author of Rethink Yourself: Change Your Thinking (Not Yourself) to Build Your Self-Esteem ***** Please note that my availability shown on Zocdoc reflects my availability for ongoing appointments. Openings in my schedule are infrequent, so I am unable to accommodate requests for time slots that are not shown in my calendar.
