Simone Phillips, LCSW

I started therapy with Simone to help me address my PTSD and past abuse I suffered.

Simone used evidence-based approaches and tailored the therapeutic experience to my needs. Her style was very direct and kind - a rare combination. It helped me stay on track throughout the process and not feel overwhelmed.

Simone was there to guide me and help me reflect on the things I was saying and doing that were detrimental to my mental health. She was very attentive during sessions and recommended resources that were laser targeted to my issues. The readings she suggested gave me the language and knowledge I needed to reconcile my traumas. The work was sometimes difficult for me, but was so worth it.

Having gone on this journey with her, my heart now feels buoyant, and I am equipped and excited for the next stage of my life. This was genuinely an incredible experience, and I recommend her services, especially if you have had past issues with PTSD or abuse.

Simone is the best therapist by far. She listen without any judgment. I’ve had therapist before who would judge. Sometimes you just need someone to list. That’s Simone. She’s good at what she does. I will be keeping her for as long as she stay on. Thank you Simone for coming into my life.

I've been working with Simone for 3 months now helping with depression, anxiety, PTSD, self esteem, my faith, LGBT+ lifestyle relationships and other things I'm sure I'm not even aware of yet. I absolutely love her! She's the first counselor I've talked to in 20+ years that actually makes me feel better about myself and that she's truly listening. I'm an 11 year cancer survivor and after my treatments and surgeries I spiraled into a bad debilitating depression and by covid I've hit rock bottom and was pretty sure I was going to stay that way for the rest of my life since I've already gone over a decade. But Simone has helped me find faith and strength in myself that I haven't felt in years, and it makes me excited about how far our journey will go and to finally get my happy life back.
She always knows what to say and her hours are very accommodating. She makes me feel like I'm talking to a compassionate person and not someone who talks like a textbook robot. Very blessed I chose her after my first assigned one wasnt a good fit for me. But I believe experiencing them made me appreciate Simone so much more! You have to pick someone you connect with or you're not going to get all the benefits on why you're here. ♡
