Simone Totoro, LPC, LMHC
About me
I have been working in the area of mental health for over 20 years. I am dually licensed in New Jersey as an Professional Counselor (LPC) and Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). Additionally, I am a Licensed Mental Health Professional (LMHC) in Florida and an LPC in PA and MS. My areas of expertise include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Trauma and Family Centered Therapy. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) for those seeking licensure in New Jersey.
I enjoy working with adults, and seniors struggling with trauma, mood disorders, depression/anxiety, anger issues and adjustment disorders as well as OCD. In order to offer my clients the best care, I involve myself in ongoing continuing education opportunities. I have specialized training in Telehealth services, Mindfulness, and AAT (Animal Assisted Therapy). It is amazing to see how animal companions can assist us when dealing with life stressors!
I am looking forward to helping you develop goals and witness your journey towards recovery. Sometimes the smallest steps in the right direction end up being the biggest steps of your life.

I’ve been in therapy for almost a year now and my therapist Simone has been a sunshine for my hard times. She’s a good listener. She understands and translate my concern in a better and more helpful way. Not one day has she made me feel shame or embarrassed or like I don’t matter. I always feel comfortable and safe with her. I truly appreciate her.

Simone is a very knowledgeable and experienced therapist. She has helped me make connections I didn't even know were there and has deepen my understanding of myself in a way I never knew I could. It has been the foundation of self love for me and I have never had that before.

Simone Totoro had been a big help, through the Covid-19 years, through my wedding preparation and my struggles with my family as a whole. I highly recommend her services.
