Dr. Zusman has been in practice for over 30 years, combining bioenergetics, relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and Somatic Experiencing (for the treatment of trauma) in order to help individuals and couples "along the road" to healing their wounds and fulfilling their potential. He specializes in stress, anxiety and trauma: relationships, self esteem issues and the integration of mind and body. He has taught, trained and supervised other psychotherapists and was the Director of Training for his professional society. He is both a Certified Bioenergetic Therapist (CBT) and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP).
