Simon Purse, LMFT, BBS Supervisor

Simon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience working with at-risk children/teens, family systems, and adults struggling to find their potential. It is Simon’s belief that we know ourselves best, and also that we sometimes lack compassion when we reflect on our lives and choices. Understanding the systems and structures that we operate within, allows us to bring more balance into the way we see ourselves, and our interactions with the world.

Born and raised in the UK, Simon emigrated to California in 2000, after having completing undergrad studies in Social Science. He continued his education in the US and obtained his Master’s in Psychology. His training covers a spectrum of behavioral health areas addressing complexities of our human experiences and has a specialization in addressing the impact of abuse, trauma, and neglect. Simon is also trained in national models of addiction prevention, and crisis de-escalation. He highly enjoys working with Individuals, Families, Couples. Simon is excited to facilitate a Men’s group focusing on vulnerability, relationships, work/life balance, common stigmas and much more!

Simon understands that every individual lives under a complex network of pressures, expectations, and relationships. His work is conceptualized by helping people confront their feelings about their realities, and guiding them towards the changes that will feel most meaningful for them. He is energized and committed to helping clients develop a compelling vision of their future selves, and then identifying, tangible steps towards their goals.

Simon is excited to join the TriHealing family; therapy does not have to be a couple of folks in a stuffy room; it’s an opportunity for natural human connections and that is what Simon brings to the space. His clinical experience, humor and natural ability to connect with others! In addition to this, he serves as a Senior Leader of a large nonprofit, a grateful father, an excellent parallel parker (and prefers to reverse into spaces whenever possible), a keen mountain biker, reluctant swimmer, and a committed friend!
