Stephanie Zimmermann, LCSW

Clinical Director


Background

Hi, my name is Stephanie Zimmermann, and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I’ve earned my master’s degree from Loyola University in Chicago, and have over 20 years’ experience in the social work field helping clients improve their mental health.

Eco-Health Therapy was created because we wanted to have a practice that addresses the needs for families and individuals. I am the mother of two boys, and I’m also a wife that believes in the power of community and family. In today’s times, more than ever, it is imperative that we manage anxiety, address trauma and practice mindfulness because the future can be rife with uncertainty. I am wholeheartedly dedicated to bringing genuine authenticity to any relationship to support our clients and their families.

I started my journey working with children and families while pursuing my undergraduate degree, then continued this while employed at Mercy Home for Boys and Girls in Chicago. I was driven to do everything I could to help support the struggling youth and their families as they courageously faced various traumas, abuse, and mental health issues. Through the gentle coaxing of a kind and wise mentor, I found my path. I wanted to listen, guide, and help others overcome trauma so they could lead more peaceful and productive lives. Presently, I aim to listen, guide, and help build resilience, safety, and happiness for our clients.

At Eco-Health Therapy, I am dedicated to assisting my clients as they develop social-focused goals. I focus on a strength-based perspective, family systems approach, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy in therapy sessions. I have been working with those who have experienced a major stressor or complex traumas, social and behavioral issues, parental transitions, and communication setbacks.

You can be assured that my team and I will do everything in our power to make you feel comfortable, welcome and positive. We will be there as you make this important step towards addressing your individual and/or family concerns, while guiding you to create a more positive outlook on life. We do a lot of work upfront to match you to the best therapist specializing in your scenario, then develop your own personalized blueprint - a map, so to speak - to point you in the direction of your healing journey, so you feel real progress during your time with us. Give us a call and we will be more than happy to provide you with a free consultation.
