Simone Smith

My communication style

My style is warm, attentive, and collaborative. I listen closely so you feel truly seen, not judged. I offer thoughtful feedback and help you connect the dots in empowering ways. Whether untangling past experiences or navigating tough conversations, I meet you with compassion, curiosity, and steady support.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this work through supporting individuals in corrections and as a school counselor, where I witnessed firsthand how trauma and life transitions impact mental health. I continue to be motivated by helping people feel more understood, empowered, and in control of their lives.

My goals for you

We'll identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic for where you are now. Whether improving communication, managing overwhelm, or healing from the past, I'll support you in creating a clear path forward. Goals can shift as your needs evolve, and I'll check in regularly to ensure our work stays aligned and helpful.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll take time to get to know each other and talk through what's bringing you to therapy. I'll ask thoughtful questions about your history, current challenges, and goals so we can begin building a plan that feels right for you. There's no pressure to share everything at once—this is a space where we move at your pace.
