Meet Your Therapist

The right therapist matters. Finding one should not be another problem you have to solve.

Credentials and training matter, but they cannot tell you what it will feel like to sit across from someone, tell the truth, feel understood, and trust that the conversation is going somewhere useful.

That is why we do not expect you to compare six biographies and guess. Tell us what kind of therapy you are looking for, where you are located, and your general availability. We will help you determine which Simply Midori therapist may be a strong place to begin.

The Match Matters

A good therapist is not automatically the right therapist for you.

Training, experience, and clinical judgment matter. But therapy also depends on what happens between two people.

You need enough trust to tell the truth and enough safety to talk about what you normally edit. You also need enough confidence in the therapist to let them question an explanation you may have carried for years.

Some people respond well to a therapist who is direct and active. Others need more room to think. Some want structure. Others need someone who can stay with complexity without rushing toward an answer.

Fit is not about finding someone exactly like you. It is about finding a relationship in which meaningful work can happen.

Can I be honest here?

Do I feel understood?

Can this person challenge me without losing me?

Do I trust where this work is going?

Our Therapists

Different therapists. A shared way of working.

Our therapists have different personalities, backgrounds, training, and clinical strengths. We do not expect them to work exactly alike.

What they share is a commitment to understanding the person before reaching for an intervention, looking beyond the most obvious explanation, and building therapy with the client rather than doing therapy to them.

Joshua Doumani

MA, LCPC

Joshua's work sits at the intersection of psychology, relationships, identity, leadership, and human change. He tends to look across the different areas of a person's life to understand how emotional patterns, history, relationships, beliefs, behavior, and identity may be influencing one another.

You may connect well with Joshua if

The problem feels bigger than one symptom, several areas of your life seem connected, or you want a therapist who will actively help you understand and challenge the deeper pattern.

Kelly McCauley

MA, LCPC

Kelly brings particular attention to behavior, relationships, conflict, and emotional dynamics. She is interested in what is happening between people as well as the learned responses shaping what happens next.

You may connect well with Kelly if

Relationship patterns, conflict, emotional responses, or recurring interpersonal dynamics are central to what you want to understand.

Victoria O'Connor

AM, LCSW

Victoria brings a strongly relational perspective, with particular attention to emotional processes, trust, and what happens between people. She looks closely at how relationships affect what we feel, expect, protect, and communicate.

You may connect well with Victoria if

Trust, connection, relationship wounds, emotional safety, or the way you experience other people sits near the center of the work.

Michael Lang

MA, LCPC

Michael pays close attention to behavioral and relational patterns, including responses that can quietly become automatic over time. His work helps make those patterns visible enough to understand what keeps producing them and begin responding differently.

You may connect well with Michael if

You understand the pattern intellectually but continue finding yourself in the same reaction, communication loop, or behavior.

Tiffany Sanchez

MA, LPC

Tiffany brings particular attention to emotional and behavioral processes, especially how people respond under pressure, during change, and within important relationships.

You may connect well with Tiffany if

Your reactions become harder to manage when life becomes stressful, relationships become emotionally charged, or circumstances begin changing quickly.

Joseph Rubin

MA, LCPC

Joseph pays close attention to the interpretations, assumptions, and relationship patterns that shape how people respond to experience.

You may connect well with Joseph if

You want to understand why situations affect you the way they do, what assumptions may be operating underneath your responses, and how to build a different response.

“When I think about who belongs on our clinical team, I come back to a simple question: Would I trust this person with someone I love? I should be able to answer yes before asking a client to do the same.”

How We Work

We do not fit people into a favorite therapy model.

People are rarely single-variable problems.

The same concern may involve what you think, what you feel, what your nervous system has learned to anticipate, what you do automatically, what you expect from relationships, and what you have come to believe about yourself.

We begin by trying to understand the pattern accurately. Then the method follows the person.

Behavior & Learning

What keeps repeating, what reinforces it, what you avoid, and what your life has trained you to do automatically.

Emotion & Regulation

What happens when emotion rises, what becomes difficult to tolerate, and how you respond under pressure.

Relationships & Attachment

What you have learned to expect from other people and how those expectations influence closeness, trust, conflict, and protection.

Identity & Meaning

The beliefs, stories, roles, values, and experiences influencing who you believe you need to be and how you understand what happens to you.

Finding Your Therapist

You do not need to make the decision before you contact us.

Tell us what you're looking for.

Give Stephanie the basics: individual or couples therapy, your state, general availability, and whether you already have a therapist preference. You do not need to send sensitive clinical details by email.

We think about the match.

We consider what you are seeking, therapist fit, availability, location, and licensing requirements before suggesting a place to begin.

Meet your therapist.

Your first clinical session is complimentary. It is a real clinical conversation, not a short sales consultation.

Decide from experience.

There is no obligation to continue. If the relationship feels right, you can move forward together. If it does not, tell us. We can reconsider the match.

Your First Session

You do not need to arrive with your life neatly organized.

You can be confused.

You can know something is wrong without knowing exactly what it is.

You can have twenty things you want to talk about and no idea which one matters most.

You can even be unsure whether therapy is what you need.

Your therapist's job is not to wait for you to present a perfectly organized case. It is to listen carefully enough to begin making sense of what is happening.

The first session may explore what brought you in, when the pattern began, where else it appears, what you have already tried, what happens when you become distressed, and what would actually be different if the work were successful.

We are not trying to explain your entire life in one conversation. We are trying to find an intelligent place to begin.

If You Have Done Therapy Before

Understanding the pattern and changing the pattern are not always the same thing.

You may already know why you overthink, people-please, shut down, seek reassurance, or react the way you do.

That understanding matters.

Why does the pattern still take over when I already understand it?

The work may then need to move beyond explanation into emotion, relationships, behavior, regulation, identity, or another part of the system maintaining the pattern.

Insight is part of change. It is not always the end of it.

Common Questions

A few things you may want to know before you begin.

Can I request a specific therapist?

Yes. If someone on the team already stands out to you, tell Stephanie. The matching process is there to help when you are unsure, not to take the decision away from you.

What if the therapist does not feel like the right fit?

Tell us. Sometimes talking openly about what is not working becomes useful therapeutic material. Other times, another therapist is simply a better fit. We would rather address that directly than have you remain in work that does not feel productive.

Is the first clinical session really complimentary?

Yes. Your first clinical session is complimentary, and there is no obligation to continue afterward.

Do I need to know which type of therapy I need?

No. Start with what is happening. Part of our responsibility is determining how to work with it rather than expecting you to diagnose yourself or select a treatment model from a list.

Do you accept insurance?

Simply Midori is a private-pay practice. HSA and FSA payments are accepted, and superbills can be provided for clients who want to pursue possible out-of-network reimbursement through their insurer.

Can faith be part of therapy?

Yes, when you want it to be. Faith, spirituality, religious experiences, values, meaning, and questions of belief can be included without replacing psychological or clinical treatment. Faith integration is client-directed, never assumed.

Do you work with couples?

Yes. Simply Midori works with couples navigating recurring conflict, disconnection, betrayal, trust, intimacy, accumulated hurt, and recurring relationship patterns.

Is therapy virtual?

Yes. Our therapists provide virtual care where the treating clinician is legally authorized to practice. Stephanie will confirm fit based on your location.
