Hi there! I’m Tabitha Simpson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel like a safe and supportive conversation. I’ve worked in a variety of mental health settings and enjoy using an integrated care approach that looks at the whole person—mind, body, and environment. I’m especially passionate about maternal mental health, particularly in rural areas where support can be hard to find. My goal is to help women navigate the ups and downs of pregnancy, postpartum life, and all the transitions that come with motherhood. I’ve had the privilege of working with clients of all ages, from providing play therapy for children to supporting adults through life’s challenges. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative—I want you to feel comfortable, understood, and empowered every step of the way.
Your first session with me is all about getting to know you. We’ll spend time talking about what brings you to therapy, what’s been working (and what hasn’t), and what you’d like to get out of our time together. I’ll ask questions to better understand your background, strengths, and goals—but there’s no pressure to share anything you’re not ready to. My goal is to create a comfortable, welcoming space where you can feel heard and supported from the very beginning. We’ll move at your pace and start building a plan that feels realistic and meaningful for you.
What stands out about my approach is how personalized and integrative it is. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy—each session is tailored to your unique needs, experiences, and goals. I combine evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and strengths-based approaches to help you build insight, develop coping skills, and create lasting change. I also take a holistic view of wellness—considering your physical health, environment, and relationships alongside your mental health. Clients often tell me they appreciate my down-to-earth style and how comfortable they feel opening up. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with confidence.
I am best positioned to support women—especially mothers and those in the perinatal or postpartum season—who are navigating anxiety, overwhelm, identity shifts, and relationship challenges. My ideal clients are often high-functioning and used to “holding it all together” for everyone else, yet internally feel exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of themselves. Many of the individuals I work with are adjusting to major life transitions such as pregnancy, new motherhood, changes in family dynamics, or shifting roles in relationships and careers. They may be experiencing intrusive thoughts, heightened anxiety, difficulty with emotional regulation, or a loss of sense of self. Others come in feeling stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt. My clients don’t have to have everything figured out—but they do have a desire for growth, insight, and meaningful change. They are often seeking a space where they can be honest without judgment, process their experiences, and learn practical, evidence-based tools to feel more grounded and in control of their emotions. I aim to support clients in reconnecting with themselves, building confidence, strengthening relationships, and developing sustainable coping strategies. Together, we focus on creating balance, increasing self-awareness, and fostering a sense of calm and empowerment in their daily lives. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in helping clients feel safe, supported, and truly understood as they move toward healing and growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the core methods I use in my work. I’ve integrated CBT principles throughout my clinical experience in both healthcare and community settings, helping clients identify how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect. Together, we work to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies that support lasting change. I especially find CBT helpful for clients managing anxiety, depression, and postpartum mood concerns, as it provides structure and tools that can be applied in daily life. My approach to CBT is flexible and compassionate—I meet clients where they are and adapt the process to fit their unique needs, pace, and goals.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy is a cornerstone of my practice. I often integrate mindfulness techniques—such as grounding, breathwork, and guided awareness—into sessions to help clients reconnect with the present moment and reduce feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, or self-judgment. In my experience, mindfulness is especially powerful for clients navigating postpartum adjustments, life transitions, and chronic stress, as it encourages self-compassion and calm in the midst of uncertainty. My approach is gentle and practical—I help clients find simple ways to bring mindfulness into everyday life, creating space for healing, clarity, and emotional balance.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to support children, adolescents, and families who have experienced trauma. This structured, evidence-based approach helps clients build emotional regulation skills, process traumatic memories in a safe and gradual way, and strengthen supportive caregiving relationships. Sessions are collaborative and paced with care—honoring each client’s readiness—while helping them reclaim a sense of safety, confidence, and control.
EMDR
I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma, perinatal mental health concerns, grief, and life transitions, especially experiences related to pregnancy, birth, infertility, loss, and the emotional challenges of motherhood. My approach is compassionate, attachment-focused, and grounded in evidence-based care. In addition to therapies such as CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based support, I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients gently process traumatic memories, reduce anxiety, and restore a sense of safety and confidence. EMDR allows healing to occur not only at the level of thoughts, but also within the body and emotional system, supporting deeper and more lasting relief. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and hopeful as they move toward healing, resilience, and renewed connection in their lives and relationships.
