LPC, 19 years of experience
Welcome! I’m Jason Zimmerman, a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania. I have extensive experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of challenges, and I’m trained in evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My style is integrative and attuned. I work to understand your experiences, strengthen your natural resilience, and help you create meaningful and lasting change. I believe every person has the capacity to move through adversity and build a life that feels grounded, balanced, and worth living.
Our first session will be a chance for us to get to know each other, explore what prompted you to seek therapy, and talk through any questions or hopes you may have. I take my time with this process so we can build a collaborative approach that feels clear, supportive, and aligned with your goals.
I strive to offer a calm, supportive space where you can explore challenges openly, express yourself with confidence, and recognize the strengths you bring into the room. I’m also attentive to the broader context of your lived experience, which helps guide creative, effective, and values-based approaches to growth and problem-solving.
I often support individuals and families, especially young adults navigating the transition toward greater autonomy. I’m drawn to helping people understand their values, explore their interests, and take meaningful steps toward a life that feels balanced and personally meaningful.
I have received formal training and supervision in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based approach that supports individuals who have experienced trauma, struggle with self-worth, or find it difficult to manage stress, maintain emotional balance, or sustain meaningful relationships. I’m an experienced skills-group instructor and have led DBT groups in a variety of treatment settings. I remain dedicated to ongoing learning through professional development and peer consultation to keep my work effective, responsive, and grounded in best practices.
I integrate a mindfulness-based approach informed by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients strengthen emotional well-being and clarity. Through mindfulness skills, individuals learn to increase self-awareness, regulate emotions more effectively, and engage with their lives in more intentional and meaningful ways. I offer a compassionate, grounded space for exploring and transforming patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior.
I emphasize an integrative approach to treatment, knowing that no single method works for everyone. Together, we create a personalized plan that draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). This flexibility allows us to meet your unique needs and preferences, supporting a more comprehensive and effective path toward healing and growth.
