Melanie Simon, LCSW

Hi, Everyone! I’m a licensed clinical social worker passionate about helping individuals and families make meaningful, lasting change. My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and rooted in evidence-based strategies that promote emotional well-being and self-growth.

I specialize in supporting:

  • Youth and young adults navigating trauma
  • Individuals experiencing anxiety and depression
  • Low self-esteem and self-worth challenges
  • Emotional regulation difficulties
  • Body image concerns and weight management
  • Family dynamics and relational stress

I earned my Master of Arts in Social Work from the University of Chicago’s Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens in safe, supportive relationships — and that everyone has the capacity for growth, resilience, and self-compassion.
