Zach C. Budd
Therapist | LCSW
Approach to Therapy
Zach firmly believes that one of the keys to life lies in managing our relationships, starting with our relationship with ourselves. His therapy focuses on self-care and building healthy relationship boundaries and practices. Zach believes that the client is the expert on themselves, and his job is to help them unlock the potential within. Zach’s therapeutic style is compassionate and empathetic and includes a healthy dose of straightforward talk and self-care.Experience
Zach first became interested in therapy when he saw an injustice that had a traumatic impact on someone. He was struck by how much damage can be done to a person by the ignorance of someone else. This prompted Zach to pursue training as a social worker because he wanted social justice to be at the forefront of his advocacy for others. Zach completed his Master's of Social Work at the University of Houston and has focused on working with clients who have suffered traumas such as discrimination or domestic violence.Specialties

Boundaries give us the space to do the work of loving ourselves. They might be, actually, the first and fundamental expression of self-love. - Prentis Hemphill"
