Lorin Zimmerman, LCSW
About Me
I am a seasoned therapist with a varied and rich work history in the fields of mental health and drug and alcohol treatment. In addition to being an outpatient therapist, I have been employed as a clinical supervisor and the Director of Mental Health Services. I am adept at treating clients with a wide range of issues, including managing stress, anxiety disorders, depression, grief & loss, adjustments & transitions, parenting issues, and trauma and abuse. I use an eclectic approach to therapy and incorporate various therapeutic techniques. In addition to being trained in EMDR, I am certified in Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Also, when requested by the client, I incorporate biblical principles and faith-based counseling into my practice. In addition I am a nationally certified health and well-being coach trained by Duke Health and Wellness.
