Dr. Nazeer Zerka II

Dr. Nazeer Zerka II offers individual therapy and wellness coaching, bringing both professional training and personal experience to his work. He holds a doctorate and practices as a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana - his credential is IN LCSW 34009023A - and he has nine years of experience providing therapy services.

Raised in Flint and Saginaw, Michigan, he draws on life experience and a strong capacity for empathy in addition to his academic background. As one of the few men of color in the field and as someone who is neurodivergent himself, he emphasizes cultural perspective and lived understanding when connecting with clients.

People seek therapy for different reasons - for support, guidance, encouragement, or challenge - and Dr. Zerka adapts his approach to meet those needs while keeping sessions warm and often light-hearted. His stated specialties include working with people of color, student-athletes, and those who are neurodivergent or autistic, with a focus on interpersonal skills, relationships, and practical strategies for job functioning and ADHD.

Dr. Zerka describes his work as more than a profession - it is his passion and his life. He is committed to helping clients reach their goals and to supporting them through life’s highs and lows, including moments of grief, change, and achievement. He also hosts a podcast that has attracted more than forty thousand followers, which reflects his interest in outreach and public conversation.

Outside the therapy room he enjoys pickup basketball, weightlifting, and yoga, and he is adding golf and fishing to his activities. He admits to collecting half-read books and comics, and he relaxes by watching comedies on streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu.
