David Zipperer

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open, and assertive communication to create an accepting and supportive environment. I practice active listening and provide opportunities to reflect on emotions and experiences as an empathetic partner. If we are working through something difficult, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My goals for you

Every client will not have the same end goal for therapy. I collaborate with clients in exploring life experiences and help the client determine specific and personal goals to begin to work towards in therapy. Monitoring progress and evaluating new experiences can fine-tune the goals, or sometimes change the goals altogether.

Our first session

I like to provide an overview in our first meeting of the theory on which our sessions will be based, as well as examples of how we will use these strategies throughout our work together. I also hope to gain an understanding of specific presenting problems you hope to address, so personal experiences and history are also explored in this session.
