Simone Blidgen

My communication style

My communication style is honest, youthful, humorous, and approachable, creating conversations that feel natural and authentic. I encourage clients to show up as themselves and strive to do the same. I use reflective listening and thoughtful responses to ensure you feel heard, while providing direct, practical feedback to support progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began when I realized how many people move through the world wearing a mask, hiding their truth because it doesn't always feel safe to be vulnerable. I wanted to create a space where people could put that mask down, be fully themselves, and know they would be met with honesty, understanding, and practical support.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a collaborative process where we identify and set goals that feel meaningful and realistic for you. We'll break your goals down into clear, achievable steps, and I'll provide structure, feedback, and tools you can use between sessions. As you gain insight and make progress, your goals may shift, and we'll adjust our plan together.

Our first session

I like to call the first session the formalities, because it's about laying the foundation for our work together. We'll focus on building rapport, setting the tone, and creating a clear understanding of what's required from both of us. This means getting to know one another, discussing your goals, and making sure we're aligned.
