Peter Simon

Peter Simon is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 18 years of clinical experience. He works with adults and couples to identify where they feel stuck and to develop practical steps toward change. He draws on formal training in Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive, and EMDR therapies to address concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and compassion fatigue.

He earned a Master of Arts in Psychology from Chapman University in 2008 and is currently enrolled in the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with lead teachers Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. His approach emphasizes active listening and collaborative planning so that treatment fits each person or partnership, and he is open to integrating mindfulness practices when those tools are of interest.

Most work is relatively brief in duration, commonly lasting six to eight sessions, with the option to continue longer when appropriate and consistent with a client’s benefits plan. He presents a steady, methodical option for those seeking structured support for mood, trauma-related concerns, communication challenges, and questions about life purpose and self-forgiveness.
