Simone Si
Registered Social Worker, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Clinical Director
I am here to provide you with a space for your own growth and healing. Whether you’re dealing with disordered eating, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression or challenging life circumstances, I will do my best to help you understand yourself deeper, know how to identify and meet your own needs and most important of all: be patient and kind toward yourself.
My formal education is a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work. I have taken coursework in Intuitive Eating, CBT, DBT and trauma-informed practices. My philosophy is to tailor our sessions to your individual needs and your unique strengths. I combine my formal education with over a decade of experience in mental health as well as my own personal growth and healing journey to provide you with a well-rounded, personal approach. In 2016, I was nominated for a “Business Person of Character” from the Character Community Foundation.
I will treat you with the utmost respect and confidentiality and I will always welcome your feedback on how I can better support you. We will work collaboratively on your goals.
