Hello, I'm Rebecca Zuckerman, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and the founder of Zuckerman Wellness. I'm passionate about empowering people to navigate life’s ups and downs with resilience and mindfulness. Over the years, I've helped clients overcome challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relationship issues, guiding them toward greater balance and well-being.

​

Credentials & Experience

I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Chicago and a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Illinois. My professional journey has taken me through a variety of mental health settings – from community counseling centers and schools to private practice. These experiences have given me the privilege of supporting individuals from all walks of life. I draw on this rich background every day in my practice, combining proven therapeutic techniques with genuine compassion.

​

My Integrative Approach

What sets Zuckerman Wellness apart is my commitment to an integrative, holistic approach to mental health care. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I adapt my style to fit you. I have training in a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), as well as somatic (body-based) practices and mindfulness meditation. By blending these approaches, I can tailor our work to your unique needs – whether that means challenging negative thoughts, exploring your emotions and inner “parts,” practicing acceptance and coping skills, or using calming techniques to ease physical tension and anxiety.

​

I believe in treating the whole person, not just a list of symptoms. In our sessions, we might explore patterns in your thoughts and behaviors, understand how past experiences influence your present, and even consider lifestyle factors like sleep, nutrition, or self-care as part of the healing process. My goal is to provide practical strategies and insights that lead to meaningful, lasting change in your life.

​

Compassionate, Collaborative Care

When you come to Zuckerman Wellness, you can expect a warm, non-judgmental environment where your story is heard and respected. I see therapy as a collaborative process – we're a team working together to help you reach your goals. I'll meet you with empathy and understanding, but also with honest feedback and clinical expertise. Whether you’re grappling with social anxiety, working through the weight of depression, healing from trauma, or navigating relationship struggles, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

​

Helping clients discover their inner strength and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives is the heart of my practice. I am continually updating my knowledge with the latest research and techniques so I can offer you the best care possible. It is truly an honor to be part of each client’s journey toward growth and wellness.
