Zeph Locke, LMFT

Zeph Locke is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who centers connection and resilience in her clinical work. She provides treatment for bipolar moods as well as anxiety and depression, particularly when those concerns arise during end-of-life circumstances. Her primary aim is to cultivate resiliency through a trusting therapeutic relationship, supporting clients toward greater stability in community living, clearer understanding in relationships, and relief from troubling situations. She collaborates with clients to clarify what is happening, to notice moments of ease, and to explore new ways of feeling genuinely alive.

Zeph draws on experience from partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and inpatient hospitalization programs and blends interpersonal processes with cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, and integrative holistic approaches. She strives to keep a balanced mix of support and challenge, listening for both what is said and what is not said, and bringing attention to emerging feelings, connections, and insights. While meaningful therapy can sometimes be uncomfortable, painful, or even funny, she emphasizes that trust and mutual respect within the therapeutic relationship are essential for fostering change. Zeph welcomes prospective clients to begin the work together.
