Hello there! I'm Olivea Zimmerman, and I'm an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist providing in-person therapy in San Ramon to couples, adults, and teens. I’m based in the East Bay and serve the Tri-Valley area as well as providing remote/telehealth therapy. I love working with couples, adults, and adolescents through big life transitions and anything else they’re looking for support with! If you’re a geek, nerd, part of the LGBTQIA+ community, or someone who just feels like they don’t fit the “norm”, my space is here for you (and of course for those who don’t fit within these parameters)! Here’s what you can expect from our therapy sessions:

• A warm and empathetic environment

• Direct and honest feedback

• Exploration of feelings, deeply rooted beliefs, harsh self-truths

• Laughter, joy, probably some awkwardness at first, but we get to join together to get through that!

• A space where you can be yourself

• Space to explore, make mistakes, and get to understand yourself

My special interests include (but certainly are not limited to) anxiety, depression, codependency, identity, trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, and relationships. Other issues I've worked with include eating disorders, sexual identity, grief, substance use, immigration trauma, and social anxiety.

My therapeutic style is influenced by person-centered and narrative-based modalities. Other modalities I love to incorporate include attachment, psychodynamic, CBT, and ACT.

I look forward to our work together!
