“She is great with drawing out what I have kept bottled up for years and with guiding me towards dealing with the emotions that I have kept bottled up. She shown me the tools in dealing with all of this and instructed me in using these tools. I am very grateful to her, for guiding me out of the darkness I was in, by doing that my life and relationship with my wife and family has improved more than I thought it could of. Thank You Kim”

Getting to know Kim Simmons

Kim Simmons, LMFT 120766 Happiness is something we find along the way, not something we get at the end of the rainbow. When the pain of staying the same outweighs the fear of change, then change will occur. Sometimes we feel powerless and our lives become unmanageable, so it’s important to find support and guidance to help create a life you don’t need to escape from. Identifying negative thoughts and patterns and replacing them with healthy alternatives leads to a deeper, richer, fuller life and lasting recovery. I have over 17 years of experience in the field of chemical dependency, drug addiction, substance abuse, and co-occurring/dual diagnosis, with the most common being anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders. I specialize in treating addiction as a disease of mind, body, and spirit. Learning to embrace the totality of who you are as a human being—not a human doing—and how to live life fully in this generous present moment, walking in truth and beauty, connecting your mind and heart to be one with yourself, is the journey to recover yourself. I am passionate about recovery and being of service. I believe effectiveness is the measure of truth, and if you can conceive it, you can achieve it. I utilize a comprehensive, client-centered, solution-focused approach to dealing with life on life’s terms. I believe you are whole and complete as you are; it is a matter of remembering who you are as a human being, not a human doing. I often ask, “How is that working for you? And if it’s not, then what would work for you?” I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Touro University Worldwide. My communication style is warm and inviting—I like to create a safe, relaxed atmosphere so my clients can open up and explore what has been happening. I am available evenings and weekends to support your journey.
