Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Dr. Santana Simple! I have over ten years of counseling experience. I utilize trainings in trauma, interpersonal relationships, identity development, and healing to inform our counseling strategies.

I specialize in working with adults who are recovering from childhood experiences that have presented challenges in their current lives. I also work with leaders who navigate the dynamics of supporting others, embracing their own humanity, and/ or developing their leadership style.

My approach to therapy

What is most important to know about my work with clients is that we will go on a journey of healing that is underlined in authenticity, embraces vulnerability, and strives for growth. I believe my role is to empower my clients to embrace their unique voice, experiences, and humanity. In my work with clients we will establish a collaborative working environment. My contribution to this space is based in developing a meaningful understanding of the client's experiences and strategies.

What you can expect from me

I co-create a space where authenticity, humor, and truth are at the center of how we navigate the client's healing journey. In working with me clients can expect to feel empowered, valued, and challenged. Counseling work is not always easy, but in work to ensure clients feel supported during this times. We will be active during this process, and incorporate activities, practice goals, and other personalized tools.
