Angela Simbro

Angela Simbro is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Missouri with seven years of professional experience. She brings formal training in trauma-focused approaches, EMDR, ADHD systems and support, Motivational Interviewing, clinical wellness coaching, and clinical treatment planning for individuals, systems, and communities. Her background also includes safety planning, Zero Suicide intervention, and a range of cognitive behavioral therapies, including dialectical and trauma-focused modalities.

Everything Angela uses is viewed through a trauma lens. She begins by meeting clients where they are and prioritizes safety. From there she works within a wellness model and selects integrative therapies that best fit each person’s needs. Somatic methods and psychoeducation are commonly paired with talk therapies in her work.

Once a treatment plan is in place, Angela typically blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, Acceptance and Commitment strategies, and behavioral activation. She may also draw on strengths-based work, family systems thinking, expressive arts, and other modalities as appropriate for the client.

Angela has significant experience helping people manage stress and anxiety, process trauma and abuse, address parenting concerns, find motivation, and improve self-esteem and confidence. She approaches everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and tailors conversation and treatment plans to meet each person’s specific needs. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and is proud of those who take that first step.
