Simone Holyoak- LCSW

We all need support sometimes, and after learning how impactful a good therapist with lived experience was for making changes in my own life; it became important for me to be the change I wished to see in the world, and shift my attention to helping to support others in the same way I had been helped. After an adventurous life including a turbulent youth, an enlistment in the Army, raising kids as a single mother, and a wide array of life experience; I have developed a strong tendency to focus on and build strengths. I have tremendous compassion for those I work with and look forward to working together to build the life you hope for.

 

I serve those struggling with a wide array of challenges; my focus has been to help those with anxiety, attachment challenges, complex trauma and relationship challenges in a relaxed safe atmosphere. I have experience serving first-mothers/relinquishment trauma and a wide array of challenges related to abandonment trauma and unresolved/complex grief.  I welcome all clients and offer non-judgmental, person centered care and am friendly/aware with a diverse array of lifestyles. 

 

I provide EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) care integrating IFS (Internal Family Systems care) as appropriate, as well as Intensive DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) services. I am PAT (Psychedelic Assisted Therapy) trained and am able to work in conjunction with any Ketamine programs in the valley, and have studied extensively in other evidence based modalities.

 

I have a strong tendency to focus on and build strengths and look forward to working together to build the life you hope for.
