Drew Simri, MA, LPCC-S, LICDC-CS
As a therapist, I’m passionate about creating an affirming and inclusive space for people of all genders and sexual orientations to receive the support they deserve. I utilize a trauma-informed eclectic approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. I deeply believe in the importance of brain-body integration and the healing power of compassion.
From my point of view…
Creating a brave space is more helpful than striving for a safe space.
Connection yields safety and empowerment.
Mind and body cannot be separated.
Understanding our biology and our unique physiological and psychological landscape is vital to healing emotional wounds and creating the life we want.
Science and research matter.
We are the expert of our own system and ultimately carry its healing power.
Intrapersonal and interpersonal connection inter-are.
Nature heals.
Every person’s system is unique and beautiful.
