About Simone
License #: 2916I'm Simone Maia an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist AMFT #2916 practicing under the supervision of Nancy Chou Keomany LMFT #2165 in the state of Tenessee. I am dedicated to walking alongside individuals and couples as they navigate anxiety, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I am committed to offering a steady, compassionate presence and believe that healing happens in connection, through feeling seen, heard, and understood.
My Therapeutic Approach
Inspired by the art of kintsugi which is the Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with gold, I view life’s fractures not as flaws to hide, but as meaningful parts of a person’s story. I help clients gently explore their pain, strengthen their resilience, and rediscover their capacity for growth. By creating a safe and collaborative space, I aim to support meaningful change, deeper self-awareness, and relationships that feel more grounded, authentic, and whole. I use approaches like EFIT/ EFT, IFS, CBT and ACT. I am Gottman Level 1 and 2 trained as well as a Prepare/Enrich Facilitator.
Who I Help Best
You don’t have to face life’s difficulties alone. I help individuals and couples navigate challenges with understanding and practical tools, creating space to heal, strengthen connections, and find hope.
What a First Session Is Like
You might walk in carrying more than you planned to say out loud, and we'll start simply: “What made you decide to come in today?” There’s no pressure to have the perfect answer, you can take your time, start anywhere, even if it comes out messy or uncertain. As you talk, I’m listening not just to your words but to what’s underneath them, reflecting things back in ways that might help something click, all without judgment or any need for you to explain or defend how you feel. If something feels heavy, we slow down; if you’re unsure what you’re feeling, we figure it out together, just helping you leave with a little more clarity and a little less weight, and before you go, I might ask, “How are you feeling now compared to when you walked in?” knowing that whatever your answer is, it’s enough.
