Jason Simmons, LCSW, is a board-certified licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience specializing in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), he helps clients clarify their goals, overcome obstacles, and build the tools needed to move forward with confidence. A former combat Marine, Jason is passionate about supporting military members, veterans, and their families, bridging the gap between service and mental health care. He approaches therapy with empathy and understanding, guided not by “What’s wrong with you?” but by “What’s happened to you?” and views healing as a collaborative partnership.

Jason’s style is practical, compassionate, and empowering, with a focus on equipping clients to ultimately become their own therapist. He creates a safe, supportive space where clients feel understood and encouraged to take consistent, meaningful steps toward lasting change. Outside of work, Jason enjoys reading fantasy, science fiction, and historical fiction, as well as exploring Alaska through hiking and skiing. He also competes in heavy athletics at local Scottish Highland Games, finding joy and stress relief in throwing heavy things."
