Hannah Simmons, LCMHC

I have a special interest in helping individuals of all ages with OCD and Anxiety.

Hi, I'm Hannah! I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor located in NC and the owner of Mountain View Counseling.

Background:
I attended Appalachian State University for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. After graduating, I spent 5 years as a school counselor and have been working in a clinical setting for the last 6.
I have had the opportunity to work with all ages (4 and up) and I truly love the variety of life stages. Having worked in the community setting, I have had experience with a multitude of diagnoses and I've also had the chance to explore some different modalities, like equine therapy (assisting trauma victims by working with horses). While I help clients deal with a range of difficulties, I have a focus in OCD and anxiety.

Style and Approach:
I would describe my style as warm, humorous, and sometimes structured. I am committed to being honest and authentic with each client; however, if you're looking for someone harsh or blunt, that is not me. While each client's needs are unique, I often provide resources or small "assignments" to consider between sessions to help clients implement our discussions into their daily lives.

I often fit very well with people who are eager to make some changes, want to learn more about what's going on inside their minds, and are hoping for some extra support.
