DZ Therapy, Oswego, IL | Danielle Zimmerman

Danielle

I've been a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C) for 15 years.

My approach is to help you build a uniquely fulfilling life, a more compassionate view of yourself, and increased confidence in your relationships. I do that by using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). 

 

I also utilize Brainspotting. Brainspotting is a gentle, powerful, focused mindfulness, emotional healing tool based on current neuroscientific understanding of how our mind/body system stores and processes memories, emotions, and trauma; and that the brain knows how to heal itself.


I work closely with you to understand painful feelings and circumstances while building upon the strengths already there. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where your experience will be heard and you will leave feeling supported, validated, and more at ease.

YOU DESERVE A PLACE TO BE UNAPPOLOGETICALLY YOU!

HI THERE, I'M

HEAR FROM ME BELOW

working with me is like...

When I am working with you I am going to show up as a present, compassionate, and open human in the room with you. I will focus on building a relationship with you first and foremost - one where you feel comfortable to share, one where we can laugh at the relatable situations that arise, and even one where we can sit safely in the suffering together. I believe that it's okay to not be okay and I want you to know you are not alone during those times where you don't feel okay.

my background

I received my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Roosevelt University while working at Linden Oaks Hospital as a behavioral health associate. I continued to work at the hospital in every department as a clinical therapist, intern supervisor, and eventually in case management. I worked with populations inpatient and outpatient and helped develop and create the education and program utilized in both the adolescent program and the anxiety program.

 

I have specific training in anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQ+, eating disorders, and the perinatal community. I have worked with individuals, couples, families from ages 7-65.

 

I have worked in private practice for the past 11 years learning what my passion is.
