Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of New York. My experience comes from providing direct mental health counseling for children, teens, and young adults with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, assertiveness, boundary setting, and emotional intelligence.
My experience is varied across multiple settings. I have provided individual, family, and group therapy in school settings, college counseling centers, church and community settings, and private practice. I have learned that we are greater than the sum of our parts; and that the things we have gone through do not define us. When put together, those things make us the unique individuals that we are. We all come from different backgrounds with specific hardship that has shaped us into the person that we are today. I will strive to treat the therapeutic relationship and you with honor, respect, compassion, and warmth.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic. I draw my influence from Rogerian (Person-Centered) Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I believe that the client is the expert of their lives and my role in the therapeutic relationship is the provide a safe space for honest self-exploration. However, my top priority is to meet you where you are and work collaboratively to meet your goals. Whether you are working towards enlightenment or to improve functioning, I will tailor your treatment to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes a lot of strength and courage to work towards a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take the step, I am here to support and empower you.

03 · What happens next
Simone practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Simone's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Simone at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Simone is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Simone.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
