Welcome! I am glad you found my website. My name is Ali Simpson and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC).

Beginning counseling can be tough and leave you feeling vulnerable. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment to help individuals reach their goals. Please take a look around my website to determine if you believe I am the correct fit for you or your loved one.

Counseling Services

Individual Counseling

I offer individual counseling sessions to ages 13 and up. I utilize dialectic behavior therapy and a cognitive behavioral therapy centered approach. Individual therapy lasts 55 minutes. Sessions are focused on your specific concerns, symptoms, or stressors. Sessions can be paid by private pay or insurance.

I accept Wellmark / Blue Cross Blue Shield. Please check with insurance coverage to find out of pocket costs such as co-pays, co-insurances, and deductibles you may be responsible for.

I offer a private pay rate of $175 per session. This can be paid by credit card, debit card, HSA/FSA, savings, or checking account. The first scheduled appointment is charged at the rate of $190 for a Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation. Upon services you will receive information about the Good Faith Estimates / No Surprise Act. This act helps to estimate the private pay cost of psychotherapy.

Ali Simpson, LMHC

Throughout my counseling profession I have found specific interest in providing therapy to teens, young adults, and those facing adversity. I have extensive history working with teens and adults (ages 13+ to 50) with symptoms and concerns of anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, racial trauma, stress, family conflict, gender and sexuality LGBTQIA+, and Black Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC).

I enjoy spending my free time with my loved ones. You can often find me chasing around my toddler, exercising, being outdoors, spending time with my dogs, reading, or listening to music too loud while driving. I care deeply about humanity and social justice. I also am an adjunct professor in the community college sector. I am a lover of plants, traveling, and learning.

I was drawn to the counseling field early in life. I have always been passionate about taking care of your mental health and striving for personal growth. I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Northern Iowa. I have previous professional experience of being employed in the social work field, school based therapy services, college counseling centers, and mental health agencies / community based services.
