Maren has been a huge help the last few years as I’ve navigated some difficult life circumstances from betrayal to loss to major life transitions. I’ve been grateful for the ways she’s helped me work through past pain and trauma so I can be better equipped for present/future challenges. She is kind, direct, and I feel like we always make the most of each session. Maren is so intentional about creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for whatever I’m feeling. ~Sarah
Working with Maren saved me during a very difficult time of my life. I had been searching for a therapist and had met with several but it never stuck or lasted long. After a phone call to a support group and being put on their waiting list, Maren shared that she was a betrayal trauma coach and would be happy to work with me while I waited for a spot in the group. I will forever be thankful for her offering and having space for me!
Maren was patient and eased into pushing me in my healing. She wasn’t afraid to call me out when I needed a little wake up call and she always validated the emotions and thoughts I had. Then she gave me tools to find the truth in my emotions and thoughts, healthy ways to process them, and reclaim my power in the things that were important to me. My favorite question she asked was “How do you want to show up?”
Maren has a lot of knowledge in many healing modalities and is great at sensing when to offer those different modalities to her clients. She’s trustworthy, safe, and professional. At the same time she’s relatable, clever, and a bit sassy (in an amazing way). You won’t remain the same after working with Maren and putting in the effort to heal and grow! H.
Maren Simmons has helped me come out from a place of darkness to a stable place of peace in a few months time. She lifted me up and renewed my self confidence through the pain I experienced with betrayal trauma! She teaches self compassion with kindness, guides women through their own unique journey, and uses tools that I will continue to practice forever! If you are at this hard place I highly recommend her. Thank you Maren! ~H.W. Oct. 2022
