Zenzi Huysmans

Individual and Group Psychotherapist

I believe in the resiliency and creativity of our nervous system to help us survive, and I trust that fulfillment, joy, and wellness can come to each of us when we develop compassion for the strategies we have developed to survive, create new ways to interact with our experiences, and honor our life stories.

I work from a humanistic and person-centered approach to help you create a life you consider meaningful. I also integrate emotional intelligence and mindfulness and acceptance-based principles into my work to help you change your relationship with your thoughts and emotions and make choices that are consistent with what is most important to you. It is important to me to interact with any human with compassion and empathy, and sprinkle in some humor along the way.

My goals are to support you in developing life-enhancing emotions such as self-compassion, humor, and gratitude while also learning how to relate to all emotions as fleeting, as messengers of our experiences. This ultimately helps you relate differently to stress, fear, and anxiety, empathize with others, communicate more effectively, and build healthier relationships. 

I specialize in working with adults, and athletes or performers, but I am continuing to expand my interests and passions as a mental health practitioner. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, and an EMDR-professional.
