Zach Rotfus

My communication style

My communication style is clear, direct, and collaborative. I aim to be transparent about what I’m noticing and why, while always inviting your perspective. I ask thoughtful questions, offer feedback when it’s useful, and check in regularly to make sure we’re on the same page. Clients often describe sessions as focused, honest, and grounding.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always knew I wanted to be a therapist! My dad is a therapist, and I've always been drawn to the work of helping individuals become the people they want to be. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland and a Master's Degree in both Psychology & Social Work from Boston University.

My goals for you

Therapy is meant to be a partnership; you drive the car, but I sit right alongside you with a map and a GPS. Together, we will work to set goals that help achieve the change you're looking for in coming to therapy. The work always stays fluid so that we can both deal with day-to-day issues as well as work on longer-term goals.

Our first session

My goal is to paint as full a picture as we can of who you are, where you come from, and what you want to get out of therapy. To that end, we'll discuss the immediate reasons that brought you to therapy before diving into a chronological look at your life and important relationships.
