Andrew Simoni

My communication style

I engage with warmth, empathy, calm, and respect. I use humor, metaphor, and imagery to make therapy feel less clinical and more like an in-depth conversation. I want you to be an active participant in your own treatment. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, nurtured, supported, and validated.

My journey to mental healthcare

Becoming a therapist was a long path where I returned to conclusions I'd drawn earlier but had ignored. I enjoy helping people understand and solve complex issues. A difficult period in my early twenties led me to explore philosophies and psychologies that transformed how I see the world, and I believe others can do this too.

My goals for you

I love setting goals, as they give direction to therapy. Sometimes goals emerge over several sessions as your ultimate hopes are realized or discovered. Having a general direction helps us move forward together.

Our first session

The first session is exploratory and full of questions to get to know you and understand what you're seeking. It helps me conceptualize the issues and helps you see if I'm a good fit. I'll learn about your challenges, hopes, strengths, interests, and natural supports that can help you achieve your goals.
