Getting to know Simone Kerr

Hi there, I'm Simone! My name is Simone Kerr, LCSW, CCTP. I am a certified clinical trauma professional, licensed clinical social worker, spokesperson, and co-founder of Ashè, a non-profit organization aimed at connecting women through community events targeting mental health issues. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience and Behavior and a Master’s in Social Work from Barry University, specializing in trauma-informed care. I have 8 years of experience working with diverse populations including addiction, incarcerated parents, first responders, veterans, women in distress, couples, and dual-diagnosis patients. My approach I use evidence-based practices grounded in neurobiology and social science while integrating philosophies rooted in empowerment, values alignment, systems, and positive thinking to assist others in navigating the damaging effects of trauma on their healing journey. Some of the interventions I use are EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Faith-Based Counseling, Mindfulness, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My focus Although I am equipped to work with a diverse demographic ranging from teens to older adults, I have found that my expertise and counseling style are especially suited for adults between the ages of 18 and 60, women seeking empowerment following relationship difficulties, codependency, and/or divorce; people seeking healing from past traumas; and those interested in Christian counseling and spiritual formation. My communication style My communication style and therapeutic approach are authentic, compassionate, and informative. I believe that the client is the expert of their own life, and it is an honor and privilege to assist someone through a difficult season. My clients can expect to feel comfortable in our sessions and challenged when change is necessary for growth.
