Simran Mayadas
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
My Approach
I approach counseling from a collaborative, strength-based perspective, capitalizing on my clients’ inner resources to create desired change. My approach is a balance of practical solution-based work and cutting edge internally-focused therapies. I integrate neurobiology and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with evidenced-based somatic therapies, such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing (SE). This integrated approach provides high quality holistic care to my clients. As a result, in therapy with me, we quickly and efficiently make progress and meet goals. My clients often report that they are surprised at the ease in which we move so quickly and how comfortable they feel being themselves. Through our work together, you will become more connected to yourself, other human beings, and your environment. If you are looking for highly effective therapy that is both holistic and scientifically sound, I encourage you to reach out. With a little commitment and vulnerability, lasting change is possible for you.

Mindfulness
Much of my work is centered on teaching mindfulness. Utilizing mindfulness is an important component of emotional intelligence, reduces stress on the nervous system, and increases resilience. In session, we may practice mindfulness while exploring emotions, sensations, and thoughts in your present moment. Using mindful attention, we’ll heal and release root stresses and outdated belief systems that have been hindering your growth. In addition, I enjoy using humor as we co-create novel experiences together. Humor and novelty in an open environment helps break outdated patterns and explore new ways of being, thinking, feeling, and choosing. Lastly, I always welcome my clients to explore their individual spirituality, and believe it is spirituality that ultimately drives us and sets the foundation for individual expression.
About Me
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Services from California State University, Fullerton and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Palo Alto University. During my undergraduate work, I had the unique experience of facilitating personal growth and exploration groups for students within the university. During graduate school, I had the honor of interning at Capital Area Counseling in Austin, where I provided counseling to individuals of various backgrounds and socioeconomic status. Here, I also facilitated a mindfulness group designed to introduce individuals to the practice of mindfulness in everyday living.
My work is inspired by my own gratitude for personal relationships and the meaning those have in my life. I am honored to walk alongside you and provide guidance on your journey of self-exploration and peace-seeking.
Client Testamonials
“As a first timer to therapy, Simran has blown away every expectation I had for a therapist and the amount of progress that would be possible within just the first year."
"Simran made me feel seen, while also doing a great job of nudging me towards more productive conversations with myself & my outlook on the world."
"It's easy to try new things when on the all-comforting therapist's couch, but Simran has gently and consistently supported integrating those practices and behaviors outside that safe environment"
