Jeffrey Zimmerman, Phd

I was a patient of Dr. Zimmerman’s for many years — note — the past tense:) Dr. Zimmerman is simply a caring and wonderful therapist. He does not spend hours delving into the past and psycho-​analyzing all of that — at least not to my knowledge:) Instead he focuses on how you are reacting and managing your life and situations currently. He is very good at reinforcing the things you are doing right in your life — and helping you re-​examine and quiet down the inner critic. He helped me begin to believe in myself, which in turn helped me change my life. Dr. Zimmerman also relates well to youth. In fact it is my pediatrician who originally recommended me to Dr. Zimmerman. He is past tense for me — as I no longer feel the need to continue with therapy.

I have been a patient of Jeff’s for about 6 months in his South Bay Offices in Cupertino. He has offices in SF… In any case… My review:
As with any therapist, you have to be comfortable with who you choose and if you are not then find a new one. It’s your dollar! F**k hurting someones feelings… remember we can’t feel or identify ours… :-0… so WHo cares… unless your insurance is paying fully. yeah right :-)
I started seeing Jeff as a synchronization to seeing a marriage counselor with my wife… who was female and wonderful… but I am a man and needed some XY perspective… basically on Me or who I am or am becoming… blah… blah … blah :-? Yeah you know Therapists may get a bad rap sometimes (i.e. not canceling policies LoL… just like a dentist I know… they have valid reasons I am sure. anyway…) I have found Jeff to be very non judgmental in helping me see my issues and guide me in my journey of self realization. I am a busy professional and don’t have the time to build the most intimate of relationships with men or women and basically come from a effed up family etc… most know the drill. I feel comfortable with unloading and reflecting with Dr. Zimmerman… he can pull out these ideas and say: ” well what about X Y or Z maybe, I don’t know but perhaps one or the other may be going on… That is one of his quotes I remember.
The Therapists «job» as they say, is to be a mirror to help you see yourself… not to tell you what to do… though that sometimes occurs… like in «homework» assignments so to speak… I feel at least for me, if you can help me see myself you have done your «job» well as a Psychotherapist… and that is what Jeff does for me…
Now objectively:
–Rates for 50 minute session reasonable and competitive for the South Bay … for a good Therapist.
–Availability: He always returns messages within 48 hours… which is fine by me.
–Office Location and Comfort: Location right off 85 in South Bay (not sure about SF)
To Your Behavior Health,

He does not care about patient and only about money! My daughter has been his patient for long time and before a visit she got cold. We tried to reschedule her appointment but he forced us to pay full fees as we called him after cancellation window of 48 hrs. I have seen many doctors in my life but never treated like this!
