Kristen Simons

Kristen Simons is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who enjoys working with adults seeking her support in mitigating symptoms of anxiety, including overanalyzing and rumination, a perfectionistic drive, and people-pleasing tendencies. She also has a passion for supporting new and not-so-new birthing parents during pregnancy and postpartum in navigating the challenges of this great life change. Kristen works with her clients to identify core values and personal strengths that shape their outlook and everyday actions and serve as a springboard for meaningful change. She works with clients to come up with realistic and actionable steps to manage difficult emotions that they can practice in everyday life. This might include skills such as mindfulness techniques, behavioral/lifestyle changes, self-compassion, or communication skills. Additionally, as a Registered Yoga Teacher, she finds it important to help clients become more in-tune with their bodies, and better understand the connection between their mental and physical symptoms. Additionally, she offers in-office or virtual private yoga sessions for those looking to explore this mind/body connection on an experiential level. Kristen enjoys guiding her clients to a place where they can easily access self-compassion amid the stressors of everyday life, and carve out a life that aligns with their values and vision. She feels the most important part of therapy is the therapist/client relationship and brings a sense of warmth and calmness to her work with clients through a personable and conversational style.
