Hello hello hello! Congratulations on doing one of the first steps of your journey: searching and initiating care for yourself! I'm glad you're here. My name is Jenny Simpson and I work with high achievers navigating depression and anxiety or even just conquering an adjustment period in their life - opening a business, taking a big exam, deciding on relationship dynamics. I have extensive history in hospital administration, working alongside varying diagnoses including mental health and substance use disorder. I hold a national certification and am licensed in three states (MO, KS, and CO) and am ready to party (have therapy) when you are!
In a first session, you can anticipate feeling welcomed and applauded for the work you're already doing. I will facilitate some assessment questions, prompt to hear about what made you seek therapy, and what has worked or not worked for you in the past. We will openly discuss how we may work together in the future.
I lean into combining evidence-based practices with an emphasis to a holistic approach to support your health and wellbeing in a way that feels grounded and personalized to you.
I've spent nearly a decade working in mental health and substance use disorder settings. Clients that I work best with are desiring a change and wanting to explore further where to start, or have been having an internal dialogue that isn't cohesive. I've found that I work alongside many professionals, business owners, successful students, needing that extra wellness activity and assistance between times of transition and adjustment.
I lean into combining evidence-based practices with an emphasis to a holistic approach to support your health and wellbeing in a way that feels grounded and personalized to you. CBT can be a great assistance because it helps us break down how our thoughts impact our behavior.
I'm trained in DBT and I enjoy "plucking", if you will, from it. DBT can be an excellent practice for mindfulness, value-searching, becoming more in tune with who you are and who you want to be. I don't believe that any therapy modality is one-size-fits-all and should be used ad nauseam so please know you won't be force fed any modality from me.
