Nicole Simonson, LICSW

Are you a parent or caregiver who feels like things are harder than they should be? Maybe you feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out—or even like you’re failing. You’re not. When your child is struggling with emotions, behavior, friendships, or school—it’s hard on you too. And when you’re struggling with your own mental health, it affects how you show up as a parent. That’s because parent and child mental health are deeply connected and bidirectional. This is why I work with the whole family. I help kids ages 8 and up navigate challenges like anxiety, emotional outbursts, peer conflict, and academic stress. In therapy, your child will feel safe, heard, and supported as they build confidence and lasting emotional tools. But therapy with me isn’t just for your child—it’s for you, too. I support parents and caregivers who are managing the emotional and mental load of raising children. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, past trauma, depression, or just the daily stress of caregiving, we’ll address the challenges that impact you—because your well-being is essential to your child’s. Whether you're a mom, dad, stepparent, or another loving adult in a child’s life, we’ll work together toward calmer days, clearer understanding, and a stronger connection with your child—and yourself.
