PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy -- also called "talk therapy" -- is a process in which psychological problems are treated through communication and the professional relationship between an individual and a trained mental health professional. Zack's approach to psychotherapy is systemic in nature, always taking into account the ways in which all aspects of a person’s life are interconnected - if one element is unbalanced, than other aspects will inevitably be impacted as well. The goal of psychotherapy is to uncover, discuss and resolve the various parts of one's life that are hindering their ability to thrive. Zack's psychotherapy sessions are 50 minutes.
COACHING
Coaching is a therapeutic alliance between coach and client that focuses on skill building and the accomplishment of both short and long term goals. It differs from psychotherapy in that it is more task oriented and direct in nature. Coaching is great for those who have a desire to change a specific aspect of their life such as shifting careers or living a healthier lifestyle. Coaching sessions are 50 minutes.
CASE MANAGEMENT
Case Management involves the coordination of care with a client and their family for various life issues including: mental health disorders, eating disorders, and addiction issues. Zack has extensive experience working in collaboration with individuals, families, medical providers, and trusted referrals to design treatment plans that are beneficial to individuals and their family members.

“It’s not just sex, drugs, and rock & roll anymore. It’s how sex, drugs, and rock & roll can have a long-term impact.”
“We’re not trying to provide solutions to what people are going through, but create a community with each other where we’re able to access our own emotional vulnerabilities during this really, really challenging time.”
“For sure, people are struggling with the loss of an in-person recovery community. But at the same time, Zoom has allowed people to enter into this space with less vulnerability”
