Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Ali Simpson, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC).

Starting counseling can feel like a big step, and it’s natural to feel a bit uncertain. My role is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. Take your time exploring my website to see if working together feels like the right fit.

Counseling Services

Individual Counseling

I offer individual counseling sessions to ages 13 and up. I use main concepts from dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), trauma focused-cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) , and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Individual counseling 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

I work with clients (ages 12+) experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD/trauma, family conflict, relationship concerns, gender and sexuality concerns (LGBTQ+), and challenges related to being part of the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.

I have a strong passion for supporting individuals who are working to break patterns of generational trauma by helping them understand roots of long-standing family patterns, reclaim their identity, and build healthier dynamics for themselves and future generations.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones. You can often find me trying to keep up with my toddler, running, reading, or listening to music too loud while driving.

I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Northern Iowa and have professional experience in social work, school-based therapy, college counseling centers, and community mental health agencies.
