Andy Simon
Thank you for considering Bethel Haven! I’m Andy Simon, a counseling intern under the supervision of Vance Sims, LCSW. I began my journey to become a Licensed Professional Counselor to be better equipped to serve those around me and assist in healing. I am open to working with adults and children and currently have several openings. Areas of interest include couples, specifically with communication, trust, or other relational issues, men struggling with the many pressures of society today, occupational stressors, and working with those seeking to build self-confidence.
What to Expect: First and foremost, counseling provides a safe space for you to be heard. While there are many theoretical approaches that may be helpful, I will always take a person-centered approach to develop a comfortability with the process. Approaches that I work to incorporate into the process include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and others, but will always maintain flexibility to do what is best for the client. I emphasize client strengths whenever possible, trying to help you gain small wins that we can celebrate and build on for future growth. If we are not growing as humans, we are not meeting our full potential and my goal is to help you develop your own course for personal growth.
I currently have openings most evenings Monday-Friday after 5pm and am also available on Saturday mornings, both in person and via telehealth. In addition, because you are working with an intern, you will receive a reduced rate for services. Please call the office at 706-310-9046 to schedule an appointment. While the initial session will last at least an hour, subsequent sessions will be 45-50 minutes. I look forward to working with you!
