Laura J. Simmons

Hi there, I'm Laura, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. Have you been frustrated in searching for a therapist among hundreds of generic profiles? Are you looking for a space where you can be your authentic self?

Feel free to attend your sessions however you feel most comfortable whether it is in your sweatpants or business attire and use whatever language you prefer, I won't be offended if you cuss or need to eat your lunch in session!

I believe the strength of the therapeutic relationship between a provider and client is just as important as the interventions utilized in treatment. I prefer to foster a collaborative relationship with clients and support them in feeling empowered to take an active role in their treatment planning. I strive to provide a culturally-sensitive and person-centered space for my clients. I encourage all of my clients to participate in sessions in a way where they feel most comfortable and true to themselves. I currently see only adults for individual psychotherapy services for anxiety, depression, and stressful life transitions. I graduated from Brandman University with a Master’s degree in Psychology, with a dual emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy/ Professional Clinical Counseling. In my spare time, I enjoy collecting vinyl records, attending concerts, horror movies, houseplants, and spending time with my friends & 2 children.
