I am a native Kentuckian who has spent the last decade exploring the concepts of meaning; purpose; and the role that our suffering plays in not only constructing our greatest challenges, but also in forming the paths to realizing our greatest selves. I've worked with people from all across the Commonwealth within a variety of domains as a student, educator, researcher, and therapist to better the quality of Being with whomever I provide help. I am a writer, philosopher, and a friend of nature who loves meeting new people and broadening my perspectives on life.

I know, I know. You'd rather tough it out alone using your steely grit and white knuckle resolve. But let's say that hasn't been working so well lately. On the off chance that you might want a passenger on your mental health journey, or even just someone to discuss a few questions that have been on your mind, I've been told I'm a pretty good listener. I have experience working with folks dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life on the autism spectrum, adjusting to a new phase of life, etc. but no problem is too big or small for us to tackle.

In terms of what I can assist with, I am more than happy to work with the following: Grief, stress, anxiety, depression, adjustment, OCD, ADD/ADHD, behavioral concerns, family dynamics (to list a few).
It's nice to meet you. My name is Stacey Zimmerman and I'm a licensed clinical social worker in KY, UT, and ME (soon to be AZ, CT, FL). My practice style is simple yet effective. I take pride in my values and morals to remain grounded in the golden rule: To treat others how you would like to be treated. I listen to listen; not listen to speak. Time and attention are always given. Humility is my centerpiece. Goal setting must be a bidirectional process which means communication is had between the client and myself. I like to say I am merely the bus driver in session which only maximizes the client's autonomy.

I work exceptionally well with individuals who suffer from OCD, anxiety, panic, and intrusive thoughts.
Do you feel like you've lost your sense of you? Anxiety can often keep us from enjoying or even participating in our lives. Do you feel like you are existing but not living? Is avoidance your best friend? Maybe intrusive thoughts are increasing the anxiety. Maybe, a disturbing thought crosses your mind and you think, "Why would I have a thought like that? This is not who I am." Maybe you can't sleep, you're exhausted, and you miss yourself... the real you. The most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself; nurture the relationship, grow, and evolve.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
