Simone Graham-Murray

My communication style

I create an environment of honesty, accountability, and transparency. I want you to feel comfortable talking about your challenges and expectations. Your input is vital to our relationship, where both of us can be open and honest with each other.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a mental health provider started with observing others in high school. Transitioning from a private school to a public school in the city was anxiety-provoking. I encountered a lot of anger and emotions I could not understand. I discovered that external environment and lack of a consistent, caring home were major factors.

My goals for you

My approach to setting goals is defining the problem and developing a collaborative plan to reach treatment goals. This includes reassessment and possible collaboration with other providers to rule out concerns and make changes when necessary to achieve positive outcomes.

Our first session

During the initial session, you can expect me to explain what is needed from you, as well as what my role will entail. We'll create an open and candid picture of what will occur to achieve the discussed goals of a plan of care, which we both agree upon.
