Getting to know Alanna Simmons

Hi there! My name is Alanna Simmons, and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Arizona State University and my Bachelor's degree from California State University, San Bernardino. My goal is to provide support and help you understand how trauma can affect various aspects of your life. In a therapeutic setting, I follow my client's lead, whether they want to discuss trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship barriers. My approach to therapy is based on a variety of modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-based Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused treatments. By utilizing these techniques, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client, helping them achieve their goals and improve their overall quality of life. Over the past eight years, I've worked with a diverse range of populations, including commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC), LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, foster youth, families, and clients with complex trauma within the greater Los Angeles area. I believe it is essential to have a safe and supportive person to communicate with and help navigate life's challenges. My aim is to provide that support and help you understand how trauma can impact different aspects of your life.
