Getting to know Laura J Simmons
Hi there, I'm Laura, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California.
Have you been frustrated in searching for a therapist among hundreds of generic profiles? Are you looking for a space where you can be your authentic self?
I believe the strength of the therapeutic relationship between a provider and client is just as important as the interventions utilized in treatment. I prefer to foster a collaborative relationship with clients and support them in feeling empowered to take an active role in their treatment planning. I strive to provide a culturally-sensitive and person-centered space for my clients. I encourage all of my clients to participate in sessions in a way where they feel most comfortable and true to themselves.
I currently see only adults for individual psychotherapy services for anxiety, depression, and stressful life transitions. I graduated from Brandman University with a Master’s degree in Psychology, with a dual emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy/ Professional Clinical Counseling.
In my spare time, I enjoy collecting vinyl records, attending concerts, horror movies, houseplants, and spending time with my friends & 2 children.
What should a new client know about working with you?
We will discuss current stressors in your life, where you want to eventually be, and collaborate to plan realistic steps on how to get you there. Feel free to attend your sessions however you feel most comfortable whether it is in your sweatpants or business attire and use whatever language you prefer, I won't be offended if you cuss or need to eat your lunch in session!

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
