Hi, I am Simone (she/her) and I’m the owner of Koger Counseling!

As a middle millennial I think it can be comforting to know a little bit about the person you are about to trek through the depths of your heart & mind with, so here are some facts about me:

• I am married & have two cats (Hilda & Sebastian) and if we are utilizing tele-therapy they will make appearances (not my husband- just the cats… & only when they want to though)

• I will quote The Office, LOTR, New Girl, and other arguably relevant shows depending on the context of our talks

• I own a goth/elder-emo/punk mental health brand called Whimsigoth Wellness on Etsy, it’s pretty cozy!

On the formal side:

My degrees include: Master's Degree in Couples & Family Therapy, Seattle University; Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara; Associates Degree in Psychology, Santa Barbara City College.
