Life Stuff with Dr. Z

Hello! I am Dr. Rachel Z., a fully licensed mental health clinician in the Chicagoland area. My three Social Work degrees come from accredited programs in Illinois. I have over 15 years of direct social work practice experience, 10 years' experience as a licensed clinical social worker in outpatient medical and mental health settings and *almost* 40 years of life experiences to share! Here at @LifeStuffwithDrZ, my goal is to provide a 'good-enough' (IYKYK) safe space to talk about, well, life stuff. That being said, this page is dedicated to providing a SAFE space for humans, particularly those who have ever been 'othered' ...whether by the color of your skin, whom you love, how you identify, where you're from, what language you speak, how able-bodied/minded you are, what your interests are, and so on and so forth. What I share comes from a place of #authenticity which I maintain, in part, with #accountability and I am EXCITED to talk about #lifestuff with you! #staytuned
