# Z. Hamilton Avery, LCSW
**Licensed Clinical Social Worker**
*Therapy with Z, LLC*

## About
I provide online therapy to adolescents (13+) and adults in Oklahoma, Florida, South Carolina, and Idaho, as well as nationwide coaching for teens and adults. I commonly work with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, chronic illness and pain, suicidal thoughts, grief and loss, burnout, life transitions, and experiences that leave people feeling disconnected from themselves or uncertain about how to move forward. Therapy can also be a place for growth, greater self-understanding, and strengthening well-being before life reaches a crisis point. My background spans psychotherapy, healthcare, crisis intervention, hospice, community mental health, coaching, education, yoga, meditation, bodywork, and integrative wellness. These experiences have taught me that distress can show up in many places: our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, physical responses, sense of safety, and ways of relating to ourselves. In sessions, I am warm, curious, engaged, and practical. We may work on understanding patterns, processing difficult experiences, developing coping and emotional regulation skills, increasing awareness of mind-body responses, practicing mindfulness or self-compassion, identifying strengths, and reconnecting with what matters to you. You will not be expected to use every approach simply because I offer it. We will explore what fits you and build from there. Beyond psychotherapy and coaching, I am an educator, speaker, yoga and meditation teacher, and integrative wellness practitioner. Through Therapy with Z, I offer classes, workshops, professional trainings, speaking engagements, retreats, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, integrative wellness programs, and educational resources. These programs may combine research and theory, practical education, discussion and reflection, experiential practice, mindfulness, movement, and skill building. Many include take-home resources that participants can continue using after the program.
