Hi, I’m Donny Simpson, LMFT. I have over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families with anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, and LGBTQ+ concerns. I also bring a background in child welfare, offering insight into family dynamics, reunification, and adoption. My style is laidback, collaborative, and supportive, creating a safe space for growth. I use Cognitive Behavioral and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring each session to your needs. Clients often say I’m easy to talk to and that therapy feels meaningful and approachable.
