Evidence based therapy, personalized support & a dash of whimsy
What you are looking for
1
Evidence based treatment
With trainings in several areas of psychotherapy, I have a diverse array of knowledge to support each client’s unique goals.
2
Personalized Approach
Together we can change the cycles you are stuck in and develop a “path” towards authentic changes in your life.
3
Kind & Welcoming Style
Aside from being hilarious… having someone support you & meeting you in a friendly way helps us build a trusting therapeutic relationship.
It is so lovely to “meet” you!
Hi, I am Simone (she/her) and I’m the owner of Koger Counseling!
As a middle millennial I think it can be comforting to know a little bit about the person you are about to trek through the depths of your heart & mind with, so here are some facts about me:
I am married, have an adorable son & two cats (Hilda & Sebastian). FYI if we are utilizing tele-therapy they will make appearances (not my husband or son- just the cats… & only when they want to)
I will quote The Office, LOTR, New Girl, and other arguably relevant shows depending on the context of our talks
I am originally from NorCal and have lived in Washington for 7 years.
On the formal side:
My degrees include: Master's Degree in Couples & Family Therapy, Seattle University; Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara; Associates Degree in Psychology, Santa Barbara City College.
Current Certificates/Continuing Education: ADHD Certified Clinical Service Provider (ADHD-CCSP), Trauma Focused CBT Training, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Tarot & Counseling, Certified Grief Professional, & L1 Certified Gottman Therapist.
Licenses: Washington LMFT (LF 61503038), Idaho MFT (6271082), Colorado MFT (MFT.0002788). Please note insurance contracts in these states vary- you can always contact your insurance provider directly to see if I am in network with your plan.
What We Believe In
Tapping Into Your Unique Experiences
We are committed to being a collaborative, culturally/spiritually responsive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and Health At Every Size® (HAES) informed practice.
Curiosity nurtures Authenticity
We believe you are the expert on your own life. We build with clarity, act with integrity, and always stay curious.
Evidence Based skills, Personalized to You
We understand that most clinical skills have been researched from a primarily patriarchal and white centered lens. From evidence based trainings, we have adapted various therapy modalities, skills and exercises to align with each client’s unique needs.
Consistency is Key
While we know that some sessions can lead to big perspective shifts that help people transform their lives, therapy is not the same as pop psychology. Committing to consistent therapy is an act of radical self love.
