Hi I’m Dr. Patricia Simon

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly two decades of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges with clarity and purpose.

As a faculty member at the Yale School of Medicine, I’ve been a clinician working on cutting-edge clinical trials and trained future clinicians.

My approach to therapy is grounded in science and delivered with warmth—I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients break free from patterns that no longer serve them.

I specialize in working with high-achieving professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are navigating anxiety, burnout, or the pressure to keep performing.

Having led multiple startups myself and coached hundreds of entrepreneurs at Yale, I understand the emotional weight that comes with carrying big ideas and big responsibilities.

I also bring focused expertise in helping people reduce or quit nicotine and alcohol in a sustainable, compassionate way.

This practice offers a private, respectful space for thoughtful, personalized work—so you can reconnect with what matters most and live more fully, on your own terms.
