Getting to know Sarah Simpkins

Are you having difficulty feeling overwhelmed by life's stressors, going through significant life changes, feeling internal pressure to be perfect, experiencing burn out and losing the joy you once had in life? The roller coaster of life can be hard, and sometimes we need a little help. Many people struggle with not having the right emotional resources, tools and coping skills to navigate what life throws at them. Or, you might have significant resources and coping skills, but need an unbiased professional for feedback and support. That's where I come in.. I'm Sarah Simpkins. A Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Perinatal Mental Health Certified, and Board Certified Art Therapist. I offer individual therapy for older teens and adults struggling with anxiety, women's issues, depression, low self esteem, and stage of life challenges. I combine evidenced base practices with a creative and person centered approach to help you improve your emotional wellness. Starting therapy can feel scary, daunting, and uncertain. I start the intake process with compassion, active listening, and guided questions to help get the fullest understanding of where you are starting and what progress will look and feel like down the road. If you are ready to start your journey of better emotional well being, reach out today!

What should a new client know about working with you?

My goal for therapy is for you to feel supported, listened to, and also provide tools and resources to better manage whatever life is presenting. Our first session will be focused on getting to know each other and learn about what your goals are for therapy. I will always follow your lead with what you want to bring to future sessions, while also staying focused on the big picture.

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.
