Getting to know Simeon Washington

I believe therapy should be an affirming space where we can explore our lived experiences and how we relate to the world around us. I believe you are the expert on your life. You possess deep knowledge of your identity, values, strengths, challenges, and how they interact as you move through life. Through cultivating honest dialogue, mindful reflection, and self-compassion, we can develop tools to help you navigate life’s obstacles in a way that is authentic to you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My clinical experience primarily focuses on addressing anxiety, depression, stress management, identity exploration, relationship issues, trauma, and life transitions. I engage all clients with a culturally affirming, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach. As a Black man, I am passionate about supporting individuals from marginalized communities who navigate systemically oppressive structures that disproportionately impact their mental health. Additionally, I have a specialized interest in serving those working in high-intensity settings who seek to optimize their performance while managing stress and creating work-life balance. My professional experience in management consulting and clinical training in college athletics provide a unique perspective that helps me connect with clients navigating similar situations.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

After scheduling your visit with ZocDoc I will be looking to connect with you via email for a consultation before our first visit. Additionally, while our first visit will be a telehealth appointment, I do offer in person therapy for those interested and I am happy to discuss your preference during our initial appointment.
