About me

Hi and welcome!

My name is Simone and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been a counselor for 5 years and have worked with a wide variety of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship, self-esteem, child-hood based trauma, and post-traumatic stress issues. I have also worked with persons experiencing domestic violence, and have offered grief support and counseling as well.

My counseling style is client focused and centered. My main concern is creating a judgment-free zone where my clients can share their inner most thoughts, and feelings and process the hard stuff! In this, my clients know I will be there with them every step of the way to help them face life's hard challenges. My approach is a combination of motivational interviewing, solution -focused therapy with a strengths based perspective, and cognitive behavioral therapy. My main focus is helping clients tap into their own internal and external resources to process and solve their problems whether past and/or present.

You are still here! That in itself is a tremendous achievement. Recognizing the issue and seeking help is the first and most important step. Now it is time to do the work because you are truly worth it!

Simone is great to work with. Her approach promotes a friendly connection and it allows her to get the most out of you. It builds a level of comfortability that friends have, but one that can provide guidance as a trained professional. 10/10

I always look forward to talking to Simone whether it be text or calling depending on how I feel. She makes me feel seen without ever having seen my face and the way she can speak logic into emotion is exactly why I’m on BetterHelp. Thank you Simone!
