Meet Our Counselors

Simone Delaoch
Simone has been practicing within the mental health field for over 8 years with a wide range in population.
From children and families of autism to individuals and families working through substance use and abuse.
Simone enjoys learning new therapeutic skills and working towards making each therapeutic experience unique to each individual. Understanding that therapy can be an unfamiliar place to some, Simone brings a comforting environment that allows most to grow in talking about what makes them uncomfortable. As a retired athlete, she has an even deeper understanding of what it looks like to push oneself, set and reach goals, and transition from one thing to another. With those life experiences, Simone finds that growth in the therapy space includes the small wins and adjustments that leads some to a more accessible way of life. Knowing that therapy is not one size fits all but instead working on a size best fits you.

Melissa

As a passionate advocate for self-understanding and growth, I am dedicated to supporting you in navigating your thoughts, emotions, and reactions. My primary aim is to empower you to transform these internal experiences into more adaptive and proactive ones while uncovering and harnessing your strengths. Together, we’ll embark on a therapeutic journey focused on equipping you with the necessary tools to navigate life’s challenges.

Collaboration is at the heart of my approach. I believe in co-creating a space where your journey takes center stage, fostering an environment of safety and trust where you can freely express yourself. Central to this process is the cultivation of unconditional positive regard, genuineness, and empathy.

As a bilingual and bicultural student intern hailing from Nicaragua, I am committed to serving diverse communities and providing assistance to those who need it most. My goal is to ensure you feel at ease and supported in expressing your emotions in whichever way feels most comfortable to you.

Drawing from a blend of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strength-based, person-centered, and mindfulness-based techniques, my counseling approach is tailored to meet your unique needs and aspirations.

I eagerly anticipate accompanying you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery

Ayudarte a entenderte a ti mismo, tus pensamientos, sentimientos y reacciones es una pasión para mí. Guiarte para redirigir esos pensamientos y sentimientos hacia otros más adaptativos y proactivos, así como encontrar tus fortalezas y ayudarte a ponerlas en acción son los principales objetivos que deseo establecer contigo para nuestro proceso terapéutico.Quiero ayudarte a desarrollar las herramientas necesarias para enfrentar sentimientos y situaciones desafiantes. Creo en colaborar contigo en este proceso. ¡Este es tu viaje y tu espacio!

Quiero crear un ambiente seguro y de confianza donde puedas ser tú mismo y expresarte libremente. Creo que crear un espacio basado en el afecto positivo incondicional, la autenticidad y la empatía es crucial para la autoexploración y el autodesarrollo.

Como estudiante interna bilingüe y bicultural proveniente de Nicaragua, estoy comprometido a servir a comunidades diversas y brindar asistencia a quienes más lo necesitan. Mi objetivo es asegurarme de que te sientas cómodo y respaldado para expresar tus emociones de la manera que te resulte más cómoda.

Tomando elementos de una combinación de Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual (TCC), enfoque basado en las fortalezas, centrada en la persona y técnicas basadas en la atención plena, mi enfoque de consejería está diseñado para satisfacer tus necesidades y aspiraciones únicas.

Espero con entusiasmo acompañarte en tu viaje hacia el autodescubrimiento.
