Licensed Therapist
Zev Sheppard is a Licensed Masters Social Worker (LMSW). Zev’s goal throughout his time with a client is to first create a space where the client feels comfortable and empowered to explore his/her emotions. In doing so, he helps individuals identify the things that are most affecting their mental health and works collaboratively with clients to develop healthy habits that will positively affect one’s life. With a diverse background, Zev prides himself on remaining open and authentic and, as a result, works with clients of all ages. Sessions will include talk-therapy, reflection, and the development of healthy coping skills using a client-centered model. Zev hopes to make each client feel as though their mental health is a priority and that they are worthy of clarity and happiness.
Zev earned a Bachelor’s degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Maryland, College Park and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Zev has experience working with individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, chronic illnesses, and other diagnoses with both individuals and families seeking short-term and long-term treatment. Zev works under the supervision of Rachel Rentch, LCSW-C
