Teague Simoncic
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)
I'm so glad you're here. I'm a therapist who specializes in perinatal mental health concerns and the big life changes associated with this tender time.
I value my work as a compassionate, intentional therapist working with emerging and established adults. I see the therapeutic process as a space for exploration and growth, as well as an opportunity to teach and practice skills that can be used outside the therapy hour. I often support folks experiencing life transitions such as beginning college, entering the workforce, navigating the beginning or end of relationships, and getting curious about their identity. I also hold a certification in Perinatal Mental Health and have a special interest in working with those who are considering the path of parenthood, are currently expecting a child (via pregnancy, surrogacy, adoption, or other means), have experienced fertility challenges, and/or are experiencing difficulty adjusting to parenthood. I offer short-term (such as creating a thoughtful plan for managing potential postpartum mood disorder over the course of a few sessions) and long-term treatment (processing birth trauma, integrating the identity of “parent,” and navigating relationship stressors are common areas of focus). I welcome folks of all identities into my practice.
