Scott Simpson - Counselor for people living w Long COVID, MEcfs, vax injury, Lyme+...
A counselor who understands Long covid, MEcfs, vax injury
Do you want mental health support that is safe / gaslight free and understands
- your illness and symptoms
- the challenges accessing appropriate care in the medical system
- the challenges of dealing with loss of
- health
- career
- family
- friends
- sense of purpose / self
I understand the unique stressors and feelings that you may be experiencing with Long covid or MEcfs or vaccine injury, like:
- internalized stigma
- concealment of illness
- expectation of rejection by medical staff
I provide counseling specifically for people with Long covid or MEcfs or vaccine injury and where you can feel safe, understood and validated.
Disease informed
I understand how the physical symptoms you experience - debilitating fatigue, neurological dysfunction, immune dysregulation - and psychological symptoms - anxiety, depression, loss - may manifest and impact your abilities and your quality of life.
Trauma informed
The multiple losses - physical, social, personal - you experience with chronic illness can be traumatizing.
This is compounded with medically marginalized illnesses, where you often experience betrayal trauma and ongoing medical trauma.
This is a different experience from post traumatic stress, where the threat is in the past.
Emotion focused therapy informed
If you're living with Long covid or MEcfs or vaccine injury, you may be experiencing anxiety, depression, loss and other intense emotions about your body and self, your relationships and your future.
Emotion focused therapy can help clarify and process these emotions in relation to your sense of self and your relationships with partner, family, friends and co-workers.
Book Meet and Greet - free 15 minute intro chat with Scott
Not every client and counselor are a good fit for the client's challenges and goals.
So I prefer to have a 15 minute zoom chat so we can meet, I can get an idea of your context and goals, and you can get more info about me and my counseling style.
I also prefer we both 'sleep on it' to give ourselves a chance to process our meeting and so you don't feel pressure to book an appointment.
To book a free 15 minute meet and greet, email me at:

Make life better
"Scott is a wonderful listener who is uniquely positioned to understand the heartbreak and trauma that come with a chronic illness not recognized by the medical system. Scott helped me identify strengths from other areas of my life and apply them to managing my illness."
