I am someone who cares deeply about the human experience and human suffering, is committed to holistic well being, and has spent a great deal of time sharpening skills to help people gain insight into their lives.

Life has become overwhelming and you're beginning to recognize that something must change. Excessive worry, fear, and anxiety are taking over and it's starting to wear on you emotionally and physically. These symptoms are so uncomfortable that you begin to look for relief. You discover that alcohol and other substances relieve your distress and self-medication becomes the norm.  You may be able to pinpoint the source of your stress and anxiety, or it may feel like a general sense of unease and distress. Naturally, you look for ways to escape or numb these negative feelings, at least temporarily.

If you are wondering how you ended up here, and are not ready to give up yet, you have come to the right place. I work with people facing changes: parenting, retirement, recovery. Many people have sadness, regret and traumatic experiences that make it hard to move on and be the person they have always envisioned. Talking with me might help.

Come as you are, you’re welcomed here. I am passionate about helping others in a non-judgemental, accepting, and safe space. I think therapy is something everyone should experience at any stage or crossroad in life. While working in the corrections setting I have worked with those from all walks of life and believe therapy should be a place where you can be yourself totally, and comfortably. One of my favorite quotes is: “Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.” -Bill Nye

Gnôthi seautón. "Know thyself" (Aphorism inscribed over the entrance to the temple of Apollo at Delphi). The ancient philosophers already knew the importance of self-knowledge.. I can help you use mindfulness and compassion, to embark into the adventure of exploring the obvious and less obvious parts of you, that affect you personally and in your relationships. Heal pains and unload unnecessary burdens, present and past. Expand your motivation, and go forward toward realizing your full potential and increasing your happiness!

Your flourishing is my utmost concern as your therapist. I believe that we, as humans, thrive best when we are deeply known and accepted. Our greatest buffer against feelings of loneliness, depression, and chronic-anxiety are healthy relationships. I enjoy working with those interested in developing healthier relationships with themselves and their significant others (family, friends, partner, etc.).

I am a licensed clinical social worker who practices both individual and couples therapy. I have extensive experience working with client's from diverse backgrounds. My training as a social worker has given me the understanding of how both childhood and current life circumstances impact people. I work to assist client's in understanding how they deal with these problems. My goal is never to provide answers for people, but to help people to understand themselves so that they can function and operate independently of their conflicts and problems.

Helping others find peace, healing and empowerment is the center of my work as a therapist. Drawing from several theoretical approaches, I have helped individuals work through trauma, family conflict, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I offer a safe place to help individuals heal past wounds, improve relationships and restore balance.

(Currently accepting new clients Mon, Tues, & Thur) If you are like me, you have procrastinated this decision to seek counseling for some time, and you are steadily nearing desperation. Entering into therapy is difficult - it is important to find a therapist with whom you connect. I provide a free phone consultation and a half price first session, so we can decide if we are a good fit. I work best with clients who are motivated to begin the explorative process towards healing. I seek to honor the vulnerability required to make changes in one's life by listening without judgment and growing to understand the individual's experiences.

All people have a desire to be comfortable with themselves, but that desire is often interrupted by life, which tends to dictate what we should be doing and how we should be doing it. In that light, I am interested in helping you uncover what may be getting in the way of you being you. My priority is to provide a safe environment in which to explore and try out new and authentic ways of relating to yourself and others, in the hopes of discovering the confidence, vitality, and compassion hidden within you.

Everyone needs help dealing with life at times. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, trauma, loss, or coping with daily life issues, I want to help. Life has a way of constantly changing, and whether the changes are desired or undesired, change can be stressful and too much to handle. I can help you plan for and deal with life changes related to career, divorce, death, relationships, gender & sexual identity, and other unique issues. My hope for everyone is that they find more peace, strength, and joy in life.

Everyone has a story, and every story is complex. Maybe you feel exhausted, stuck, alone, or anxious. Maybe you've hit another difficult patch and you're uncertain of where to turn. Maybe your relationships feel harder than they used to, or perhaps you're tired of experiencing chronic shame. The good news is that life doesn't have to be this way forever; real change is possible. Your struggles and your pain are real, and I want you to know that my office is a safe place where we can explore healing together.

People have experiences, beliefs, and relationships that profoundly impact their worlds. In light of that reality, I work collaboratively with clients to form trusting and judgement-free relationships that enable them to explore the way these things have shaped their lives, and ultimately, to empower healthy changes toward healing and wholeness.

*I am not currently accepting new clients* "Adversity introduces you to yourself." - Dr. Dan Allender. Therapy, at its best, facilitates this introduction. My great privilege as a therapist is to participate in offering the possibility for hope, healing and flourishing. Whether you have hit a crisis, or desire to dig deeper into long established patterns, entering therapy is a courageous and exciting first step. Please visit my website - jensimmonslpc.com - for an idea of what therapy with me might look like.

I work closely with sexual and gender minority populations (LGBTQIA+). I specialize in treating 18+ with trauma, depression and anxiety. I see clients with mood disorders and/or co-occurring disorders with substance use. I have provided therapeutic services for clients with persistent and severe mental illness for over a decade.

In addition to providing counseling, I specialize in comprehensive diagnosis and assessment of learning difficulties, ADHD, memory concerns, autism, dementia/Alzheimer's disease, brain injury, depression, anxiety, and a variety of other psychological and neuropsychological difficulties. I bring a comprehensive and compassionate approach to each and every client. When your child is struggling at school or when you begin to experience memory issues, you need a knowledgeable and skilled professional who will be able to assess the situation and help you determine the right next step. I can bring clarity to situations that otherwise feel chaotic.

When we find ourselves in an atmosphere of radical positive regard and acceptance, it is not simply a transformation that occurs, but a homecoming. We reclaim our fears, our worries, and our pain, and we truly discover ourselves for the first time, or the first time in a long time. I believe that healing in this way is our human birthright and destiny, but it must be claimed. The greatest reward in my work is to facilitate and bear witness to this process, and to be with you each step of the way.
