Meet Zoe Scherer, Mental Health Therapist at Strive CLE. 🩵
Zoe specializes in chemical dependency, addiction, and substance use treatment. She also supports clients navigating anxiety, social anxiety, stress, life transitions, career challenges, and the impact of loving someone struggling with addiction. She proudly works with diverse populations, including the LGBTQIA+ community, and sees clients 10 and older.
With both a Psychology degree and a Social Work degree, Zoe brings a unique, flexible lens to therapy. Her background includes residential treatment, outpatient counseling, substance use assessments, detox coordination, and intake services. She integrates CBT, Motivational Interviewing, strengths based therapy, SFBT, and narrative therapy, always through a trauma informed and person centered approach.
But above all else, Zoe prioritizes the therapeutic alliance. She believes progress happens when clients feel safe, heard, valued, and supported.
Her passion for addiction work is both professional and personal. Inspired by her grandfather, a longtime psychologist, and shaped by her own family’s experience with addiction, Zoe brings deep empathy to this work. She actively promotes Naloxone education and participates in recovery focused community initiatives.
Zoe especially loves working with younger adults and Gen Z clients who value authenticity and growth. If you are navigating social anxiety, career stress, school challenges, or complex family dynamics, she would love to walk alongside you.
Outside of work, Zoe loves reading, hiking, swimming in the lake, live music, crafting, podcasts, and spending time with her mom and niece. She is also a proud cat mom to three orange cats, Finn, Boots, and Willie.
If you are looking for a therapist who blends clinical skill with real life understanding and genuine empathy, Zoe may be a great fit.
Schedule with Zoe today through Strive CLE.
