Nick Zwerdling, LMFT

I have been offering psychotherapy and coaching for nine years throughout the Bay Area. Many therapists offer a safe space for their clients to process their feelings and help develop insight. Often, the work will stop there and therapy becomes a place where nothing more gets done.

My approach is to not only provide space to build knowledge of self, but to also take this information and apply it to daily living. I want my clients to leave therapy with tangible skills, which they can use to achieve more meaningful relationships, a sense of purpose, and motivation to truly practice self-care.
