Who am I?

I’m a masters-level mental health counselor offering therapy in the state of New York through The Soho Center for Mental Health. I also offer life coaching independently. See below to learn more about the difference between the two!

You can call me Claire (or Claire Z, or Ms. Z) or you can try my last name: it’s Americanized and pronounced exactly the way it’s spelled. “Zlot” sounds kind of like the word “slot” and then “nicki” just sounds like the name Nicky!

I have a wide range of experience including both physical health and mental health. If you're looking to talk about life choices, career changes, weight loss, physical health, chronic pain, identity exploration, decision-making or solutions counseling, coaching may be appropriate. 

If you're looking for intensive personal work including treatment for mental illness, trauma, or interpersonal functioning, book with me for therapy through The Soho Center, where I'm working under supervision for clinical counseling. You don't have to go through life alone. You deserve to live a peaceful, fulfilling life.

I strive to be as inclusive as possible. I can work with almost anyone, but I especially welcome people from the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent people, or those struggling with depression and anxiety.

My counseling style is a client-tailored blend of person-centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Psychodynamic therapies, with a heavy influence of Motivational Interviewing, Feminist Therapy, and Multicultural Therapy.

Things I can work with you on:

Anxiety Stress Adjustment Disorder Depression Bipolar Disorder Life transitions Gender transition Identity exploration Sexual identity Trauma Career counseling Physical health - lifestyle changes or coping Chronic pain 

And so much more

Once you’re ready to schedule for therapy, here’s what you do. Use the ZocDoc link below to find a time that works for you and schedule the appointment. Since I’m a resident, I won’t be listed as an option. You can choose any other clinician. Once you’ve set an appointment, our team will reach out to you, and you can tell them you would like to see me! On Saturdays, I can see you in person in the clinic. Otherwise, message me for my availability for telehealth sessions. Please note, I can only accept therapy clients who live in the state of New York.
