Zoe Skowronski

My communication style

My style is warm, direct, and validating. I create a nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing openly while offering honest feedback and guidance. I balance compassion with practicality—listening closely, validating your emotions, and gently challenging unhelpful patterns when needed.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist began at a mental health drop-in center supporting individuals through life skills groups. I then served as a women's advocate in a domestic violence shelter. My professional focus has been in community mental health, specializing in trauma and eating disorders.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by working collaboratively to define what matters most and breaking those goals into manageable steps. Together, we create a plan that balances reflection with practical skill-building. I use CBT, DBT, and RO-DBT to provide tools for managing emotions, shifting unhelpful patterns, and strengthening relationships.

Our first session

In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you and making sure you feel comfortable. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you'd like to work on, and any past counseling experiences. I'll ask questions to understand your background and goals. By the end, we'll start to outline a plan together.
