Madeleine Zimmerman

CA Licensed Clinical Social Worker #115843

​

Clients who work with me realize how they can be in the driver's seat of their life and challenge the guilt, shame and pain that keeps them stuck. Many of my clients overlook their well-being due to overextending themselves in the workplace or at home, having difficulties managing relationships, boundaries and/or handling big emotions. I help clients develop skills to deal with challenging situations, process complicated emotions, and establish healthy relationships with people and themselves. I have success working with clients who have difficulty with alcohol use/misuse, anxiety, codependency, or stress due to highly demanding lifestyles.

 

I ardently create a safe and encouraging space where you can freely share, express unfiltered thoughts and explore your personal pains. During the session, my clients enjoy my humorous nature as a way to create comfort and connection. Teens (16+), adults, and families find me approachable and easy to work with. My approach is supportive, warm, and goal-oriented.
