Hi, Iām Zackary!
Life is a journey, and at times, a challenging one. Whether it's something from the past, in the present, or a potential future that is giving us pause, there are many times in our lives that we may feel we can benefit from some additional support.
I bring to Authentic Reclaimed a background in working with survivors of Domestic Violence, Sexual assault, and relationship traumas. I've also spent time working in community mental health. The uniting thread through my passion for the work has been helping people uplift and embrace their true selves - the self that exists beyond the stressors of everyday life, past or current traumas, and in the driver's seat of your future.
My approach
I look forward to building relationships with my clients where I can provide a space to be heard, individualized treatment and goals, and to meet my clients where they are at. I believe that as a provider, it is my duty to both validate and challenge you - as sometimes moving out of our comfort zone is where change begins to truly happen. I am a collaborative provider and see the relationship between provider & client as one of mutual stakeholders seeking progress in a way that is sustainable and true to your needs.
I pull from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Narrative therapy approaches in my work with clients. I encourage and welcome clients of all identities to reach out if they feel they could benefit from working together.
