Jeff Zimmerman, Ph.D., ABPP

“I want to feel happier and less depressed.”

“We would like to improve our relationship.”

“I would like to feel calmer and more in control, in spite of the stress, loss and trauma I have experienced.”

“We want to help our children cope with our divorce.”

“We need to figure out how we are going to live as a divorced family.”

These are some of the most frequent goals of my clients as we work together. Many of the stresses and conflicts my clients face can be due to life’s experiences and losses or can come from within. Stress and conflict can lead to disintegration of relationships with our partners and our children, and even in how we view ourselves.

Strengthening coping skills, emotional connection and intimacy can help repair fractures, increase compassionate understanding, and build closeness. Focusing on positive growth, shifting well-engrained patterns, and building greater self-acceptance can create lasting change and happiness. As a clinical psychologist with over 40 years of experience, I help adults, couples and families, by integrating many different therapeutic approaches to best fit my clients’ needs.
