About me
I have been working in the area of mental health for over 18 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. 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 children, adults, and seniors struggling with addictions, trauma, mood/personality disorders, depression/anxiety, anger issues and adjustment disorders. 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.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Simone Totoro. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Since starting with the BetterHelp services, my day to day life has been filled with much less anxiety and worrisome thoughts. I’ve been able to take control of my emotions, whereas in the past I was never able to do so. Simone has taught me to allow myself to feel and except my emotions without letting them take complete control over me. I sincerely believe I am on the right path with working with Simone.
Very warming and easy to talk with
I like better help.
I am very pleased with Simone. She has helped me find my innervoice
Highly empathetic and highly educated. Simply the best.
Simone has been a wonderful help! She was able to relate to my childhood emotional neglect and thankful for all the time and support she had given me! I cannot thank her enough!
Simone has been a wonderful help in getting me to express my concerns. She is easy to talk to and I feel very comfortable with her.

Simone is thoughtful and engaging in her therapy style, nonjudgmental and really supportive. I have benefited greatly from working with her. From day 1 she made me feel very comfortable.
The perfect therapist!
Amazing therapist! Dr Totoro is professional, understanding, and a master in her field. A+++
If you are looking for a professional support that is effective, trustworthy, relaxing and challenging from the first minute of therapy experience, congratulations if you were lucky enough to being matched with Simone Toro. Priceless!
Simone is a fantastic therapist! She guides you through her sessions and the tools available on Betterhelp so that you have everything you need to begin your therapeutic journey. She is kind, attentive, respectful, understanding, and everything you would want in a therapist!
Simone has helped me in so many ways over the last several months and taught me many coping mechanisms for the things i struggle with. I am always excited for our appointments.
I feel Simone is really communicative and understanding!
Very insightful
I have been working with Simone for about 4 months. She has been very supportive, patient and emotionally encouraging to me! I would definitely recommend her!
Simone and I have been working together for a few months now and she is been my rock. I can talk about everything that is bothering me and she's excellent at making the point of the situation and make a plan for it and turning pessimistic thoughts and behaviors into small daily practices helped me a lot during this tough year. She's professional, caring, and knowledgeable in managing anxiety and depression.
Simone is absolutely the most wonderful, understanding, and encouraging counselor. I feel so lucky to have connected with her after such a negative first experience here with my previous counselor. I had almost completely given up on this program and now I am so thankful to be where I am because of this program
Simone has been wonderful. I began working with her a couple months ago and have found someone supportive who really understands where I am and what I would like to work on. I’ve left every session feeling heard.
Simone is very sweet, patient and understanding. Great experience thus far
She gets back to me in a timely manner
