About
Peter Simon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington who has spent the past 18 years helping people identify where they feel stuck in their health and wellness, then partnering with them to move forward with practical, personalized change. He brings an engaged, compassionate presence to sessions, listening closely and focusing on what matters most to each client. With dignity and respect, he meets clients where they are and collaborates on recovery and wellness practices, habits, and skills that fit their needs and everyday life.
Peter works with adults and couples and draws on training in Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and EMDR to support concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and healing from trauma and abuse. He earned a Master of Arts in Psychology from Chapman University in 2008. He is also currently enrolled in the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP) with lead teachers Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, and can incorporate mindfulness strategies when they align with a client’s goals and interests.
Much of the care he provides is relatively brief, often around 6 to 8 sessions, while also allowing for longer-term work when appropriate. His aim is to help clients build hope, strengthen resilience, and develop tools that support meaningful growth and wellness over time.

Evidence-Based Tools, Made Accessible Online
Peter Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and draws from several established approaches to support adults and couples working through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and trauma-related experiences.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to respond differently in everyday situations. It can be especially useful when worries, low mood, or self-criticism start to shape choices and relationships. EMDR is a structured approach often used for trauma and post-traumatic stress, helping clients process difficult memories in a way that reduces how strongly they continue to show up in the present. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy blends mindful awareness with cognitive skills, supporting clients who want to relate to thoughts and emotions with more steadiness and self-compassion, including in periods of stress and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Peter collaborates with clients to clarify goals, learn what has and has not helped in the past, and choose strategies that fit their preferences and pace.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent and access support in the ways that work best day to day. Sessions may take place through video calls or phone sessions, with additional options such as live chat or text-based messaging to maintain momentum between appointments.
