About
Ashley Simos, LCSW, supports people who are managing addiction, anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. She regularly works with individuals who present as high functioning externally while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or mentally exhausted internally. Her practice also addresses relationship and family concerns and related areas such as codependency, panic experiences, and smoking or vaping cessation.
Ashley’s manner is direct, compassionate, and collaborative. She believes therapy is most useful when people can be honest, vulnerable, and human without fear of judgment. In sessions she blends humor with thoughtful challenge and emphasizes real-world application so changes can extend beyond the therapy hour.
For those whose thoughts race, whose emotions feel difficult to manage, or who notice repeating patterns they want to stop, Ashley offers focused support. She invites people who are ready to intentionally change their lives to reach out and begin a collaborative process toward clearer coping and healthier patterns.
