Welcome! My name is Jason Zimmerman and I am a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania. I have broad experience providing direct care to individuals and their families and have training in numerous evidence-based practices, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I use an integrative approach to harness the innate capacity of each individual to overcome adversity and build a life worth living.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will be focused on getting to know one another, clarifying what prompted you to seek therapy, and answering any questions you may have. I believe in taking our time with this process as we develop a collaborative approach to meeting your objectives.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a compassionate listener, I aim to provide a safe space for you to explore personal challenges, express yourself with confidence, and cultivate the strengths you already possess. I am also skilled at looking at the broader context of individuals' lived experiences to support creative, effective, and value-based approaches to problem-solving.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I typically offer my services to individuals and families with a focus on young adults working toward a greater sense of autonomy. I enjoy helping people to discover their values and interests as they build a life worth living.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have received formal training and supervision in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a treatment of choice for individuals who have experienced trauma, struggle with self-worth, and have difficulty managing stress, maintaining emotional balance, and sustaining meaningful relationships. I am an experienced skills group instructor and have conducted DBT groups in multiple treatment settings. As a clinician dedicated to continuous learning, I regularly engage in professional development and peer consultation to maintain clinical effectiveness.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I incorporate a mindfulness-based approach, drawing from the principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to empower my clients in their journey toward emotional well-being. I guide individuals in developing mindfulness skills to enhance self-awareness, regulate emotions, and cultivate meaningful change in their lives. With a commitment to the integration of mindfulness, I provide a compassionate and supportive space for clients to explore and transform their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Integrative
I place a strong emphasis on the value of integrative treatment. Recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, I work with each individual to create a personalized approach that draws from various therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This personalized approach allows me to address the unique needs and preferences of each client, promoting a more comprehensive and effective path toward healing and growth.
