Mentor, helper and life coach
Hi, Zadok here! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)
INDIVIDUALS DEALING WITH TRAUMA INDUCED DISORDERS
I offer Trauma Informed counseling sessions for my clients. Over the course of a lifetime, it’s common to be exposed to a traumatic event, whether it is a violent act, a serious injury, a sexual violation, or other shocking event. In response, many will experience traumatic stress, a normal reaction to an abnormal event. People may even experience traumatic stress by just witnessing a highly distressing event or having a close family member or friend experience such an event.
YOUTH AND ADOLESCENT
Children may develop negative behaviors due to a traumatic event, stress at school, or family situations. Perhaps you’ve recently had a divorce, a death in the family, or your family moved to a new school district. These types of transitional changes may be difficult for your child to overcome on their own. I work to meet with your child on a regular basis to explore their concerns and behaviors in a safe, positive environment. I help your child recognize, learn, and adopt positive behaviors that will improve their social skills and cognitive development.
PREGNANT AND POSTPARTUM PARENTS/CAREGIVERS & THEIR PARTNERS
I am a certified Doula and a lactation consultant. I am also trained in parent child education with a primary focus on attachment. I work with parents and caregivers who are burned out and stretched thin. I work on increasing self-care so that you can find more delight; expectation management; and providing resources for them to be the best parent(s) they can be.
HETEROSEXUAL & SAME-SEX COUPLES
I work with couples who are having difficulty communicating, intimacy issues, and dealing with conflict. I work on increasing positive interactions and connections while figuring out how to handle conflict in a healthier way.
