My therapeutic approach has foundations in psychodynamic, attachment, and family systems theories.
In my practice, I offer comprehensive psychological assessments and therapy with adults, children, and families. Regarding testing and evaluation, my specialties include assessing and diagnosing a range of neurodevelopmental and socioemotional concerns, including Autism, ADHD, learning differences, intellectual ability, anxiety, depression, trauma, and personality functioning. I believe psychological assessment is a powerful therapeutic intervention and that accurate diagnosing is critical in identifying treatment approaches and informing academic placements.

During treatment, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and also utilize a psychodynamic approach.
Do you often struggle with gaining control over certain situations and wish that you had effective coping skills to manage?

I believe that coming to counseling takes courage and taking that first step can take you a long way. I like to work closely with my clients by listening to their life experiences and identify goals to ensure that their emotional goals are being worked on and met.

It's time to live the life you want to live - and decide what that life looks like. I see adolescents and young adults (13-35) and specialize in anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues (including identity and family conflict), eating disorders, and chronic illness.

Greetings; I am Dr. Simpson, a licensed psychologist, trained in clinical, health psychology, and counseling. The 30+ years of experience I offer, working with the human condition, has been from a very wide range of client lifestyles and issues. Each individual is as unique, as the process required to support or help you to the next step of your growth or symptom relief.

I work at developing therapeutic relationships with others to feel safe to discuss what are often difficult issues.

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
