Experiential, fiercely-loving healing and wholing for the wild soul

Individual Counseling | Teen Counseling | Process Groups

You’re getting signals—anxiety, depression, burnout, breakup, illness—that once-adaptive patterns are no longer serving you.

There are voices urging you to stay small. To keep masking yourself and striving to be enough. To go back to the way things were.

But somehow you know you can never go back. Seeds of your deepest longings are already waking up under the soil.

You feel things deeply. Question the status quo. Live outside the lines. You’re “sensitive,” “neurodivergent,” “eccentric,” a “black sheep.” You have a wild heart.

And you’re in a time of great change. A soul initiation.

When the life you’ve known no longer fits, something new is calling you.

I’m River Simone (she/her).

I am a trauma-trained therapist with an experiential, body-centered and soul-centered approach to healing and wholing.

I help wild-hearted folks compost the past, hear the language of their soul, and grow a life of unshakable okayness and deep purpose.

My work is grounded in relaitonship and in the body.

  • Experience reparative attunement, contact and care in parts of you that hold wounds from the past

  • Metabolize overwhelming grief, rage, and uncertainty about global crises

  • Experiment with new ways of relating—to yourself, to others, to the world

  • Interrogate and rewrite the toxic narratives of colonial society

  • Strengthen the pathways home to your body, heart, and soul

Reclaim your wild heart.

  • Work together 1:1

    My counseling style is earnest, out-of-the-box, and fiercely championing of your innate goodness and wholeness. I use a blend of relational, somatic, and parts-work modalities to help clients integrate their past and create an empowered present. I work with both teens and adults.

  • Join a process group

    Bring your weirdness, wildness, and wonderings to a space that wants all of you. In Wild Heart Process Groups, we practice relationship with others who refuse to choose between authenticity and belonging. I both offer groups for adults and groups for teens.
