Doreen Simonian is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a dual master's degree in counseling who provides a supportive environment for individuals facing life’s unexpected challenges. Recognizing that life can be hard, she believes in the importance of having someone in one’s corner to help uncover unique qualities, enabling clients to emerge from difficulties stronger than they ever thought possible. Her compassionate and supportive approach guides clients on their journey of growth and healing. Doreen specializes in working with adults and elders (65+) dealing with a range of issues, particularly anxiety, prenatal and postpartum challenges, infertility, and perinatal depression. Her expertise is bolstered by her previous work in adoption, which has equipped her with profound insights into the emotional roller coaster experienced by couples building their families. Doreen utilizes a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), tailored to the unique needs of her clients. Additional areas of focus include grief, life transitions, elder care support, and wellness/self-care. Doreen is also trained in supporting LGBTQIA clients and offers video counseling options for pre-screened clients when appropriate. Her commitment is to foster a safe and nurturing space where healing and personal growth can flourish.
