Simon Anderson Schelling is a queer Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who offers affirming, client-centered care for teens and adults. He approaches each person as an individual, creating an inclusive environment where LGBTQ+ identity, gender questions, and sexual expression can be explored alongside common mental health concerns. He emphasizes genuine human connection alongside evidence-based approaches to help people articulate goals and navigate change.
His practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and includes focused work with autism and Asperger syndrome, gender dysphoria, mood disorders, and self-harm. He also works with people involved in BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture, as well as those navigating polyamory and other non-monogamous relationship structures. Simon aims to provide a space where difficult topics related to sexuality and relationship structure can be discussed without judgment, and where exploration and practical support go hand in hand.
Simon blends client-centered work with a commitment to evidence-based approaches, aiming to meet each person where they are and support the goals they identify. Client-centered care means the focus is on the individual’s priorities and lived experience, while evidence-based elements provide structure and tools when they fit the client’s needs. He frames sessions around collaboration rather than prescription.
He also emphasizes an affirming stance toward gender and sexual diversity, creating space to explore LGBTQ+ identities, gender dysphoria, kink or alternative sex culture, and non-monogamous relationship structures alongside concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress. That orientation can be a good fit for people seeking a clinician who recognizes and honors varied expressions of sexuality and relationship styles.
Simon offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences for remote work. These options are intended to support ongoing access to care and to allow collaborative work in a format that suits the client.
