Become
the best version of yourself. Thrive.

Life is a journey full of twists and turns. Sometimes you're equipped to navigate what life brings your way and sometimes you feel stuck. You are not alone, we all need support from time to time. It takes courage to seek support. I'm here to help you navigate this journey.

We are all in different places of our unique journey and can all use a trusted confidant to help guide us in the right direction. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where you can BE yourself, and help you BECOME the best version of yourself and create the life you desire. I know from my own healing and from my 20 yrs as a therapist that you can break free from unhealthy and negative patterns and evolve into the person you're meant to be. Together, I can help you find peace and joy beyond what you thought was possible.

We are in Crisis. But you are Not Alone. Feel Better. Now.

There's so much uncertainty right now. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious. Perhaps you're angry, sad, even embarrassed or ashamed of the thoughts you're thinking. You may feel hopeless with no real solution or end in sight.

You're used to doing it all. There are so many people depending on you. I know it's hard to ask for help. You are not alone. I'm here to listen, brainstorm solutions and new ways to handle things, and help you find your inner strength. Together, we will get through this. You can feel like yourself again.

There are things you can do right now to feel better.

Simone Marcantel
O'Connor

I love people and am passionate about hearing about their unique stories. I believe people are stronger than they think and have the capacity to turn crisis into opportunities to grow.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families. I have worked extensively with individuals treating anxiety, depression, trauma and loss as well as couples and families looking to turn strained relationships into happy and healthy ones.

In our clients' words

The feeling I immediately feel before coming to therapy is a sense of anxiety, but at the same time comforted knowing I will walk out of my session feeling refreshed and on a better foot. I have to push myself to talk about what is causing the anxiety to create resolutions.

Immediately after leaving my session I feel extremely relaxed, refreshed and inspired. I usually leave wanting to pursue something positive or engage in an activity that usually I am held back from when I am having anxiety

Laura Catherine

Beginning therapy was not easy for me. I was very against at first like most teenagers.. but after working with Simone for many years, I feel so much better and I always know there's someone I can go to when I am in crisis. Having a therapist I've known for so long and who knows me so well is a nice security blanket when I'm having a bad day. I know there's always someone with an unbiased opinion to talk to and help me.

Madi

As a man, I was a little nervous about seeing a female counselor. But after I met Simone, she immediately put me at ease and I was able to confide in her without feeling judged. She has truly helped me process and make sense of some of the most uncomfortable situations in my life.

John

As a mom now being quarantined, I was struggling with juggling it all. The uncertainty from CoVid-19, working from home and trying to teach my kids, I was feeling stressed out and my anxiety was at an all time high. Simone helped me process my feelings, practice self care, and even find positive meaning in the midst of the chaos. I realize now I can't control or change many things but I can change how I react.
