Introduction

Hello! I’m Simone, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 30 years of experience in the mental health field. I am deeply committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ community and have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach focuses on providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs. If you're seeking a safe and understanding space to work through your challenges, I’m here to help. My approach to therapy is client-centered and integrative, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with other modalities to address your unique needs. I focus on creating a supportive and empathetic environment where we collaborate to set goals and develop effective coping strategies. My aim is to empower you to understand and overcome obstacles while fostering personal growth and resilience. Clients can expect a safe, supportive environment where they can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions are structured to help clients develop practical tools to manage challenges. Clients will leave with a deeper understanding of themselves and actionable strategies for long-term emotional resilience.
