Hi, I’m 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, and with those who identify as queer (LGBTQIA+). 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 bring to my work my experiences living as a queer, trans, gender-nonconforming, polyamorous white person who relocated to Boston from the DFW metroplex in Texas. I encourage and welcome clients of all identities to reach out if they feel they could benefit from working together.
