About

Hello! My Name is Jennifer Simmons. I am an LPC licensed in the state of Connecticut. I have an MS in counseling and I have 9 years of counseling experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, postpartum depression/anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, social behavior, career, and crisis counseling.


My goal as a counselor is always to provide a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment. I see my role as a counselor as someone who meets my clients where they are and helps guide them to where they want to be through empathy and unconditional positive regard. Every person I work with is unique in their needs and my theoretical orientation is an integrated approach that includes a humanistic person-centered foundation and cognitive behavioral therapy when appropriate to meet the needs of the whole person. When applicable I like to include mindfulness practices into my sessions with clients as well.


My counseling experience has centered around working in large urban cities with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. I welcome folks from all walks of life, backgrounds, orientations, identities, and religion. I consider myself an open-minded, ethical, and compassionate counselor. I look forward to getting to know you more as you embark on this new journey of self-care.
