Zakia Simpson

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 10 years experience working with children, families and adults journeying to their established goals. I have a passion for people not feeling alone, challenging unproductive behaviors and thoughts, processing trauma, clients learning how to own their life by living it on their terms, developing resilience and clients feeling seen and heard.

I utilize person-centered, solution-focused, CBT, TF-CBT, psycho-analytic therapy, attachment theory, and tailor my approach to the betterment of the client.

My analytical, curious and empathetic nature invites clients towards building lives of emotional stability and a healthy self. As we navigate the joys and pains of being human, I would be honored to join you on your journey.

Provide a safe environment for therapeutic processing, gaining insights and developing a healer version for your life. When therapy starts, I focus on creating rapport and connection, obtaining background, and creating goals. as we progress, I provide psychoeducation, confront distorted thinking patterns and behaviors, help move towards insights and implement coping skills.

Answer any questions, develop goals, obtain background data and establish rapport.
