Whitney Simmons
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Connecticut with a Master’s degree from The University of Hartford, and I’ve been practicing for 9 years. I specialize in working with young adults who are navigating life transitions and seeking to discover and actualize their true selves. Through self-exploration and guided reflection, I help clients manage anxiety, develop healthy boundaries, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to support you in becoming the best version of yourself, empowering you to embrace your unique path with confidence and clarity.
First session
In our first session, we will begin with introductions and then you will have the opportunity to openly share about the specific challenges you're currently facing, which will help guide the direction of our work together.
Strengths
With 9 years of experience working with young adults in various settings, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges they face. This experience has allowed me to meet clients where they are, empowering them in the therapeutic process. I work alongside clients to help them develop essential skills for self-discovery and managing anxiety, guiding them toward a more confident and balanced version of themselves.
Ideal clients
I love working with young adults who are navigating new careers, academic pursuits, moves, or relationships. My clients are excited to grow and discover themselves but often feel stuck or overwhelmed. They also feel pressure from society and struggle to create a balance between what they want and what they need. Many haven't yet developed the skills needed to fully dive into self-exploration and discovery.
