My name is Simone Dugal Webster and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am a transplant from the field of Religious Studies where I lived and worked with individuals living on Native American Reservations in North America. I have worked in the field of social work for 8 years and I have worked in private practice settings in two states, residential facilities, non-profit and luxury-type rehabs, outpatient as both an Operations Supervisor and therapist, and inpatient psychiatric locked facilities/correctional institutions. ~If you would like to work with me, but my caseload is full… Please visit my website~ *--> http://www.thelotusarchives.com <—* to join my weekly/monthly support groups.
During our first session, we will spend this time exploring your goals for treatment. We will work on getting to know you better and figuring out the best tailored approach to address your unique needs. I am excited to explore all possibilities with you.
I am authentic and true. I “follow the butterfly”. I will hold space, but also safely challenge you to push outside of your limits. I will always do what is best for you.
Have you tried going to therapy for years, and nothing is really working for you? Have you struggled with staying committed to a program, or maybe faced obstacles with building a therapeutic alliance with your therapist? If this sounds like you, I want to work with you. I especially want to work with you if you have struggled with fitting in, or being understood. We can work together to find the best approach that will suit you, and we can tailor it to your specific needs. I work best with high acuity clients with suicidal ideation. I am committed if you are.

Drawing on my background of growing up in a Buddhist temple and having a degree in Religious Studies, I draw on my background and experience to provide behavioral therapy rooted in dialectics, mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships with others, and communication styles. My style and approach is electic and tailored to address your individualized needs.
Brainspotting is a tool to target Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD) and disassociation. Brainspotting is usually completed in 6-8 sessions, but I also can supplement the tool during individual work.
ACT focuses on increasing confidence, willpower, resiliency, and self-efficacy. ACT is a light and practical approach to addressing trauma.

She listens, is encouraging, understanding, very present and she can meet/follow you through all kinds of emotions; like but not limited to, sadness, confusion and even playfulness. She has been quite helpful so far in making me and my ADHD brain feel accepted and held with understanding and curiosity.

Simone is wonderful! She is intelligent and very well versed in what I’m going through! She is empowering, authentic, warm and direct. She really listens and really hears me! She remembers what I’ve told her in past sessions and can sense certain things about me before I even tell her! I love her holistic approach; she is open minded, and solution oriented. Her whole vibe is like a breath of fresh air in a world that seems determined to misunderstand me!
