Craig Simmons
I am a person-centered therapist with a deep commitment to creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment. I firmly believe that you are the expert of your own experiences and that our work together should revolve around your needs and goals. As a sex-positive therapist, my goal is to create an environment that is open and affirming towards discussions surrounding sexuality, traditional and nontraditional relationships, and sexual identity. As a geek-aware therapist, I understand the power of pop culture, gaming, technology, and all things nerdy. I embrace your passions, whether it's delving into the world of comic books, discussing the latest sci-fi TV series, or exploring video game narratives. Geek culture provides a rich tapestry of themes and references that we can utilize to deepen our therapeutic conversations and make the process more engaging and relatable to you. My passions lie in working with young adults, and couples, and with the challenges and pressures men face.

First session
Our first session is about rapport building. It's important that you get to know who I am as a therapist and I learn how you best liked to be treated.
Strengths
When you enter into our shared space, you will be met with warmth, empathy, and acceptance. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort, with your needs and goals at the forefront of our work. We will work together to explore your concerns, set achievable objectives, and develop strategies to promote positive change and personal growth. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, or any other challenges, I am here to provide a supportive environment where you can express yourself freely. Our discussions may range from your favorite fandoms to deeper explorations of your emotions and experiences. I believe that incorporating your interests and passions into therapy can enhance our work together and foster a greater sense of connection.
Ideal clients
I have a wide variety of experience with clients from teens, adults, and couples. My experience includes working with young adults with Autism, ADHD, anxiety, etc.
