Getting to know Donald Simmons

Hi there, I'm Donald! As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am dedicated to helping others as they face adversity so as to develop a loving and compassionate relationship with themselves. I bring a wealth of experience and specialized training in addictions and mental health to my practice, and there is one common theme I have noticed throughout my career, which is our self-talk. We are our own worst enemies, and this wreaks havoc on our self-esteem. My approach My therapeutic approach is person-centered, non-judgmental, and collaborative. I tailor my counseling to each individual client, and I will use several interventions in practice. Using Positive Psychology and being Strength-Based is important in my practice as we work towards a healthier you, and I am well-versed in CBT, DBT, Family Systems, and MI. I also have a background utilizing SFBT and Crisis Intervention. My focus Having worked with clients of all ages for the past 8 years, I have developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you identify the root cause of your challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress. I will walk next to you as you make this journey to become a healthier you. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began as a child when I realized even strangers would talk to me about their lives. It was when my own family was suffering that I made the decision to enter the field so as to help others experiencing similar situations.
