About Me

My name is Brynne Simmons, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I have an established outpatient mental health practice in the Pittsburgh area, where I provide compassionate, client-centered care to individuals and families across their lifespan.

I am passionate about helping clients navigate life’s challenges, fostering resilience, and empowering individuals to create meaningful change. My practice focuses on collaboration, integrating supports when available, and tailoring treatment to each person’s unique needs.

Who I Work With

I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults. Over the years, I’ve supported clients across a wide range of settings, including schools, outpatient clinics, and structured residential programs.

Children & Adolescents

• Support for children and teens with trauma histories, including abuse (physical, emotional, and sexual), neglect, significant losses such as the death of a loved one, exposure to domestic violence, parental substance use, and other adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)

• Expertise in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), mood disorders, autism spectrum disorder, adjustment disorders, and developmental conditions

• Support for children in foster care, coping with adoption, and navigating adjustment challenges

• Guidance for families to navigate the educational system and connect to additional resources as needed

• Strong belief in the power of family involvement as a key to treatment success

• Support for clients navigating cultural transitions, racial identity, and maintaining cultural values

• Expertise in coordinating appropriate levels of care and linking clients to additional community resources

My Approach

I believe in patient-driven care, where you are an active participant in shaping your treatment goals and journey. Whether you’re working through trauma, navigating a life transition, managing a diagnosis, or seeking personal growth, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where healing and change can thrive.

Insurance & Accessibility

I am in-network with most major insurance providers, including Medicare, to ensure care is as accessible as possible.  I am also in-network with many EAPs (employee assistance programs) for access to short-term treatment, often at no-charge to you.

If you or someone you know could benefit from therapy or counseling services, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
