Simi Schwartz(She/Her/Hers)

Simi is a Licensed Certified Clinical Counselor located in Massapequa, NY. She helps teenagers, young adults, and adults cope with the emotions that come with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Many of Simi’s clients feel motivated to improve their lives but aren’t sure where to begin. She often works with college students and those with low self-esteem, which can be an interruptive force in their lives. Simi also works with couples who want to improve their relationship and work on communicating with empathy and kindness. 

Simi’s approach to therapy draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems therapy. Clients learn more about what’s important to them through talking openly about their values. They also explore the various parts of themselves, identifying which parts are at odds with one another, leading to distress or discomfort. Simi is a nonjudgmental therapist who lets the client lead the conversation. She believes that all individuals she meets arrive at therapy with good intentions and celebrates their willingness to be vulnerable. 

Simi earned a Master’s degree from Adelphi University. She previously worked in education and business, and she brings those experiences into her work with clients as she offers empathy and understanding.
