Getting to know Simone Darsana

Welcome, my name is Simone Darsana and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I hold a Master’s in Psychology from Antioch University – Los Angeles. My passion has always been people—deeply listening to and understanding the person in front of me. I have learned that each person comes to therapy with a unique set of experiences, feelings, issues, goals, strengths, and fears. Therefore, I use a variety of techniques tailored to each person’s specific circumstances. But what is always the same is the safe, nonjudgmental space that I seek to provide my clients. I value a collaborative approach in which we will explore your fears, anxieties, hopes, and dreams. Together we will work towards identifying unhelpful patterns, gaining insight, and developing healthier coping strategies to achieve your goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have had experience working with adolescents and adults throughout the lifespan who are navigating issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and self doubt. I am especially interested in helping clients who are going through big life transitions such as pregnancy, parenthood, or divorce. These are situations that can leave us feeling particularly unmoored and in need of support.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Therapy is a journey and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you gain clarity and work towards creating the life you want. If you are ready to take the first step I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation.
