Ilana Simons
I am a parts work therapist who specializes in work on interpersonal connection and self expression. I founded Radical Parts Work, a group therapy that invites interpersonal risk-taking, using methods from improv acting, authentic relating, and other somatic practices.
I work with a focus on Parts Work and Somatic therapy. I hope we can cultivate spontaneity and joy.
I would love to help you with anxiety, confidence, creative life, and relationship issues. I have PhDs in literature and Psychology and am trained in group work, parts work, Ketamine assisted therapy, and Radical Aliveness.
First session
In a first session, we will slowly get to know each other, and really it's just a time to see if your energy can find a match in mine.
Strengths
I work creatively and am not (too!) afraid of silence and discomfort. Together, we can continue to build your core strength with discomfort and self-trust.
Ideal clients
I work best with someone who is interested in working in a slightly less structured format, with parts work exercises, spontaneity, and room for larger emotions. I use a Voice Dialogue form of parts work, inviting you to speak from parts f your persona. I tend to make a lot of room for emotion in the room, encouraging vulnerability and courage through discomfort.
