My name is Simone, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Qualified Supervisor (QS), psychotherapist, and author. I specialize in working with teens and women experiencing anxiety related to past trauma, life transitions, and identity development. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, or unsure of themselves, and are ready to better understand their emotions and regain a sense of control. I create a space where you can come as you are...no pressure, no judgment. You don’t have to have the right words or even fully understand what you’re feeling yet. We’ll figure it out together. My work is trauma-informed, which means we gently explore how past experiences may still be showing up in your life today, especially through anxiety, self-doubt, or feeling overwhelmed. I use approaches like CBT, DBT, EMDR, and body-based techniques to support you. I am committed to supporting and helping you unlock your true potential, which is worth celebrating: Beyond Balance. Beyond Balance Counseling Solutions is a safe space we’ve created for you, and we warmly protect it within our values. We value connection, trust, and authenticity. We firmly hold your privacy sacred, maintain an open-minded, non-judgmental approach, and, most importantly, we tailor our therapeutic techniques to cater to your individual needs. We will work together to equip you with the necessary tools to face and overcome challenges. We will walk alongside you on this journey, and eventually, you’ll feel comfortable enough to apply these tools naturally.
