About Me

Hi, I’m Dr. Kay De Simone, LCSW, and I’m delighted to meet you.

I am a self-pay psychotherapist who specializes in trauma treatment, EMDR therapy, and the unique stressors experienced by high-achieving individuals ages 13–55. My work focuses on helping clients understand the experiences and patterns that may be affecting their lives and develop the skills needed to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.

I’m deeply interested in your story and in understanding how your experiences have shaped where you are today. Together, we’ll identify the challenges, behaviors, and beliefs that may be getting in the way of the life you want to create. We’ll then use evidence-based strategies to address those concerns and support meaningful, lasting change.

Our work can also focus on personal growth—creating more space for the people, experiences, and activities that bring you joy while learning to manage the demands and circumstances that drain your energy and affect your well-being.

Individual sessions are $250. I also offer full-day EMDR intensives for $1,600. Individual sessions are self-pay, and I provide superbills that clients may submit to their out-of-network insurance plans or use with eligible FSA/HSA accounts. EMDR intensives are self-pay and are not eligible for insurance reimbursement.

You don’t have to navigate these experiences alone. We’ll work together, one step at a time, to help you process what has happened, strengthen the resources you already have, and build a future that feels more purposeful, fulfilling, and authentically yours.
