Riannon (Jeffery) Simmerman

I enjoy working with clients who struggle with mental health and/or substance use concerns. I believe dealing with life problems involves building up one’s “foundation,” and gaining healthier alternatives to work through day-to-day challenges. Open-mindedness and willingness are key, and I can aid in strengthening that foundation. I specialize with adult clients struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse/sobriety, and Women’s Health, but all client needs are welcome. I focus on using distress tolerance skill set, CBT, mindfulness, and other coping interventions to build mental and emotional strength. I have three plus years of experience working in a co-occurring short-term residential treatment facility, as well as group therapy experience. I am certified in ASI/Standardized Format, Motivational Interviewing, ASAM, and have knowledge to work with those grieving a loss, suffering from depression, or struggling with anxiety.
