Meet Kendall Zacker

LMSW

(she/her/hers)

I am a Licensed Masters Social Worker in the State of Maryland.  I believe that counseling doesn’t have to have a direct roadmap as long as you are open to the process.

I am a white, CIS gendered female. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally and actively working on understanding how my privilege affects oppressed groups.

My Approach to Therapy:

I believe that authenticity, connection, and laughter are the hallmarks of building a therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a safe, judgment free space for clients to “spill the tea”.

My approach to therapy will include creativity, questions to explore and understand your life experiences, and lots of listening. My hope is to guide you towards a voice that will empower you to reach your goals.I believe in the importance of having a connection with all of my clients. Without it I find it difficult to make progress.

I connect and build rapport through compassion, listening, laughter, authenticity, and empathy. Sometimes clients may need me to lessen the pressure of talking so I may use games, activities, art projects, and nonverbal communication in writing to help us get your goals met.

Client’s who work well with me:

√ Clients who show up each week to tackle the difficult work. 

√ Clients who are willing to go deeper into the hard stuff that brought them to this point in their life.

√ Clients who are willing to be a true version of themselves or are working towards a truer version.

√ Clients who are willing to be creative in trying different strategies to acheive their goals.

My Focus Area’s: 

I work with adolescents to adults up to age 30 and families.
