Amanda Simon, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

Trauma: Helping people with trauma requires the creation of a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel heard and understood. I prioritize building trust and coping strategies, as well as utilizing tailored, evidence-based therapeutic approaches that address the unique impact trauma has on a person's emotional, cognitive, relational, and physical well-being. Ultimately, trauma therapy aims to empower individuals to process traumatic experiences, reduce symptoms, and foster healing and growth. I provide consistent support, patience, and professional guidance to facilitate long-term recovery. Women’s Issues: I specialize in providing therapeutic support specifically tailored to women’s issues, recognizing the unique emotional, psychological, and social challenges that women face across different stages of life. This includes navigating relationships, managing anxiety, overcoming trauma, addressing self-esteem, fertility challenges, becoming mothers, and balancing personal and professional roles. I am committed to supporting women to reclaim their strength, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and achieve overall well-being. College Students and Young Adults: College and entering the work world are some of the most exciting times of life, yet they can also be some of the most challenging. Therapy is a useful tool that can help individuals adjust to campus life, deal with academic pressure, manage attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) or anxiety, process a breakup, reflect on friendships, manage family dynamics, and prepare for life after graduation. I create a non-judgmental space for clients to process these changes, build coping skills, develop confidence, and explore who they are and who they want to be.
