Simone D. LaPierre, MFT-IT

Clinical Psychotherapist

How are you doing? Really doing?

Together, let’s explore ways to lessen those big emotions and understand yourself better.

 With my training in Solution-Focused and Experiential Therapies, along with skills in CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, and Anger-Management and Breaking Co-Dependent Thought Patterns, I have been a guide for many families, couples, and individuals of all sorts of different backgrounds, cultures, sexualities, abilities, and creeds.

As your Marriage and Family Therapist, I am able to see all of the systems in your life at play, and I will help you make your way through the storm to find your rainbows. Prior to becoming a Therapist, I was a life coach, parental assistant, play therapist, and teacher. I have trained as an Actor and Teaching Artist, bringing elements of creativity and experiential learning to the therapy room. I come from the perspective that “it’s all connected”, using a mind, body, and spirit approach.

Together we will pass through the more difficult times with grace and dignity and focus on a positive sense of self and recovery. I also do family and couple work with those struggling with past trauma, infidelity, trust, affected family members, suicidality, preparation of commitment, and next-step family planning. I promise to bring a sense of genuine love to every session. Look forward to connecting!
