Haley Simpson (LCSW)

I am a trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois with three years of experience working with children, youth, and families who have experienced trauma and effects of generational trauma. Hopelessness, fear, guilt, shame, loneliness, and anxiety are some feelings that might linger following post traumatic events. I help people process trauma, restore motivation, increase happiness, and find inner peace . My approach is solution focused, client centered, and strengths based drawing heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Theory and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT). I am also an affirmative therapist that enjoys working with the LGBT community and strives to hold a safe, affirmative and accepting space for all who come seeking services. The brain, mind, and body are deeply connected, which is why I use a holistic approach to treatment. You are the expert of your story and I can walk alongside you to assist in organizing your inner experiencing. I’m here to help you heal, grow, reclaim joy, and find emotional harmony. I am excited to meet you and work together to identify your goals and make plans to achieve them!
