Dr. Simone Blanchard

Therapist

Virtual • Greenbelt, MD


I’m Dr. Simone Blanchard, an international psychologist and the creator of the InnerLightT Model.

My work integrates psychology, energy awareness, and reflective practices to support individuals and communities through change, uncertainty, and transition. Over time, I observed that many people struggle not because they lack motivation or discipline, but because they lack clarity about what is happening internally—in their thoughts, emotions, and habitual behaviors.

InnerLightTM was developed to provide that clarity.

Iasia Tyre

Iasia Tyre

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I’m a therapist who believes that healing happens best in a space where you can show up exactly as you are. My style is warm, open, and down-to-earth, and I work hard to make sure you feel safe, heard, and comfortable. And yes—along the way, I also welcome moments of shared laughter or lightness. Humor can be a great connector, and sometimes it helps make the tough stuff a little easier to talk about.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Yeshiva University, and I pull from a variety of approaches depending on what works best for you. I have experience supporting people through challenges like [anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationships, stress, grief—whatever fits your background], and I tailor sessions to your needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
