I have known Dr. Rae for years both professionally and personally. We case consult with each other on a regular basis and her insights and recommendations are beyond skillful. She is gentle but firm at the same time and holds her patients accountable so that they make substantial progress. I know this because we have shared clients so I hear directly from the patients she sees. I trust her implicitly. If you need a therapist who will change your life for the better, look no further. Dr. Rae is a game changer.

I was in desperate need of someone to talk to after a traumatic family vacation and a friend of a friend recommended I reach out to Dr. Simon. She was able to squeeze me in last minute and was super patient with my crazy schedule and tried her best to accommodate me any way she could. Her office location is super convenient in central Denver (Cherry Creek) and has a warm and welcoming vibe. Dr. Simon was caring, compassionate and empathetic. I felt like she was really focused on my needs and she not just listened but really heard me. She gave me invaluable advice and was able to help me immensely
