Greetings Fellow Human!
I am Simone, an open-minded, down-to-earth LSCW in California. I hold deep principles in treating people with respect, sensitivity and compassion regardless of ethnicity, identity, or beliefs. I have over 15 years of professional work experience assisting individuals, young and old, with life's difficulties and am easy to talk with. I keep a smaller caseload to better serve my individual clients.
I earned my AA Degree in Business at LBCC, a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Sciences with a Certificate in Women and Gender Studies from Indiana University and a Master of Social Work (concentration in mental health) also from Indiana University.
I identify as a TreeHugger.
It takes courage to seek out help; but you are taking your first steps toward a better life. I am here to support and empower you in your journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
