Hello! I'm Louise Zimmerman. I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years of experience treating behavioral and mental health disorders. I provide Telehealth services every weekday from my home office. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Comparative Religion from the University of Virginia and a Master of Arts degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa University. I have a world class education, extensive training, and years of field work to call on when I'm working with clients. In particular, my meditation training and practice greatly inform how I treat a client's symptoms. Mindfulness is the most effective tool I can train a client to use to cope with symptoms associated with their diagnosis. I fondly refer to my therapeutic approach as an East meets West perspective on mental health.

Hi there, I'm Laurie! Do you wish providers would look at you through a whole person lens instead of discussing health and mental health separately? Do you want a provider for your child who is playful and skilled at engaging children? Are you an adult who likes a more personal, connected approach to therapy? Do you have a teen who has had difficulty connecting to other providers? Well look no further! I enjoy using storytelling, videos, and conversation to help clients of all ages improve self-esteem, self-worth and gain a better understanding of sense of self. A licensed clinical social worker and board-certified supervisor with over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults, I spent much of that time working for the world-renowned Kennedy Krieger Institute, a Johns Hopkins affiliate, where I was also in leadership. I have post-graduate certificates in Treating Children & Adolescents, Leadership, Fitness Nutrition, and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health providers. More personally, I love hiking, watching Marvel movies, lifting weights, and crowd surfing at concerts. I believe we should never stop playing like children!

I am a psychotherapist, consultant, and spiritual mentor with a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and an MA in Counseling Psychology. I specialize in working with high-achieving BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals navigating self-doubt, imposter syndrome, generational trauma, and systemic oppression. My clients are professionals, creatives, and changemakers seeking a space to explore identity, career, relationships, and healing without the burden of educating their therapist on their lived experiences. Through a trauma-informed and holistic approach, I integrate Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients heal trauma, regulate emotions, and reclaim their power. I incorporate somatic work, psychedelic integration, and preparation and integration support for ceremonial medicine to foster deep personal transformation. My practice acknowledges the mind-body connection, helping clients access healing on multiple levels while navigating major life transitions. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to my work. I create an affirming, culturally responsive space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences and identities without fear of judgment. By addressing systemic barriers and internalized oppression, I help clients reclaim autonomy, develop self-compassion, and cultivate resilience. My therapeutic approach is centered on empowerment, guiding individuals to harness their strengths and rewrite limiting narratives. My work empowers clients to break free from shame and fear, reconnect with their authentic selves, and move through life with confidence and self-trust. Healing is more than symptom management—it is about liberation, self-actualization, and stepping fully into one’s potential. My mission is to support clients in thriving, evolving, and embodying their highest selves to create meaningful, fulfilling lives rooted in authenticity and purpose.

Each of us long to feel safe, loved, and at peace. I am a regular human, living life, and learning from each of my experiences. Professionally, I am a therapist, a social worker, a meditation teacher, a professor, and yoga instructor. My professional titles don't give me an exemption from life’s trials and hardships. I have discovered a way of living that allows me to feel at peace and grateful in the midst of life’s storms. As a young adult, through personal trial and hardship, I began traveling the road of healing and self-discovery. It was from a state of hopelessness and debilitating anxiety that I became willing to make changes that would allow me to live a peaceful life. After a lot of letting go and taking necessary action - I found myself living a serene, joyful life. My life experience is filled with gratitude, and it is my greatest desire to share what I have found with those in need of change.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by state rather than a city?

Why filter by state rather than a city? When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across the entire state. If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near your address.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
