Licensed Clinical Social Worker
My name is Zackery. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at our Harvard Square clinic who specializes in depression, suicidality, self-harm, and trauma. After more than a decade in community mental health, working with people from school-age kids to older adults through some of the hardest moments imaginable, I am joining with NHS to continue doing this work.
I work with people at a pace that makes sense for them. In sessions, we build tools to help regulate when things feel out of control, and work from the strengths that are already there. I use Solution focused therapies with DBT, CBT techniques and have special training in trauma and Motivational Interviewing. No subject is taboo.
You do not need to have the words for what is happening yet. Most people who reach out do not. If you have been struggling with depression, hard thoughts, or something you have been holding onto for too long, I want to hear from you. Reach out when you are ready and know that I will be respectful, honest and an advocate for the better life you want to build.
