Craig Simmons LPC

I understand the unique pressures, identity exploration, and life transitions that young adults face, and I am dedicated to providing the guidance and support needed to navigate these complexities successfully. I believe that healthy relationships are the foundation for personal growth and happiness. I work with couples facing communication difficulties, intimacy concerns, and other relationship challenges, to help you and your partner strengthen your connection and cultivate a thriving partnership. I also recognize the unique societal expectations and pressures that men often encounter, and I provide a safe space for men to explore their emotions, address concerns related to masculinity, and develop healthy coping strategies.

I am an eclectic therapist, which means I draw upon various therapeutic approaches, primarily rooted in person-centered therapy. This approach recognizes your inherent worth and believes in the importance of creating a genuine and empathetic therapeutic relationship. Together, we will focus on self-exploration, personal growth, and self-acceptance. Additionally, I may incorporate elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based practices to help you develop effective coping strategies, manage stress, and challenge negative thought patterns. These techniques can be particularly helpful when navigating the complexities of everyday life, relationships, or any challenges you may be facing.
