I was told that it would take a lot of time and effort to find the right therapist for me. I am grateful that Douglas was the first and only therapist I met with. He is professional and knows exactly how to help and get to the root of the problem. There hasn’t been a problem that I brought to him that he didn’t know how to approach and address.

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.

I’m grateful I met Douglas. It took him about 15 minutes into our initial consultation for him to not only diagnose (confirm) my OCD and ADHD; but immediately he launched into a treatment plan. He laid everything out clearly for me. He did this with good humor, thought, and a determined energy that I found, and have found, to be, very, very, relatable and comforting. One knows a seasoned clinician when one meets one. I have had the good fortune to experience this with Douglas Zimmerman.
I have been working with Douglas for more than 7 years. Douglas has had a profound impact on my life. I met Douglas after graduating from college and struggling with life's many changes. I often would be in the ER for panic attacks, and I had many physical symptoms of anxiety. I am now much less neurotic and much more direct, confident, kind, and honest. I have a much better relationship with myself and others, and I am launching my family and career. I have more work to do with Douglas, but I am proud of the man I have become.
