Simone Collier

Simone started working in mental health over a decade ago, working closely with clients with developmental delays. She immediately knew she found her passion and began focusing on children and teens with mental health needs. After becoming a nurse, she explored her interest in perinatal and postnatal maternal health. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner over 2 years ago, she split time between adolescent psychiatry and "catching babies" on a labor and delivery unit. She is a strong advocate for promoting mental health access during pregnancy and after. As a nurse practitioner, she is passionate about addressing mental health needs prior to the need for crisis intervention. Simone believes in integrating medication management with psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and supportive interventions to create individualized treatment plans that meet each client’s unique needs. foster a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where patients feel empowered to re-imagine what their future may hold. When she is not expanding her knowledge on new and upcoming treatment modalities, she is enjoying being a dance mom and a sports auntie. In her self-care time she is likely video gaming, lifting weights, or being a foodie around the 'Nati.
