Douglas Zimmerman

M.A. Ed., LCSW-R

A Psychotherapist for the Neurodivergent Community

About Me

I live and practice in Manhattan. I have over 25 years in mental health and 20 in private practice. Trained behaviorally and analytically, I specialize in treating adults with OCD, ADHD, or high-functioning Autism. Those with a neurodivergent mindset seek my assistance. Personally, I'm passionate about ice hockey, drawing, writing, and family time with my wife and 6-year-old daughter.

Individual Therapy

Individual sessions are 45 minutes (I often go a bit over). The session is a continuation of what we have been building since you initially contacted me. As noted in this website, each person, and each session is different. However, in general, one can expect to find a very curious therapist. One who readily dispenses humor, one who is a skeptical optimist. But above all, I like to believe that you will meet a very authentic person/therapist.

I have been seeing Douglas since the summer of 2022 when a series of life changes triggered a flair up of what felt like severe OCD. Having lived with OCD all my life and having only recently figured out what it really was, I found it hard to find a therapist I liked and who understood me and my condition. Meeting Douglas helped me immensely, in understanding that OCD didn’t need to be something scary. Douglas keeps helping me to understand complicated emotions, life changes and thought patterns. I always look forward to our weekly chats, conversations, and his support in all.
