Simone Heron-Carmignani, Psychologist
Simone Heron-Carmignani, PhD, at LifeStance Health, helps adults across California build resilience, restore balance, and move forward with confidence. She provides evidence-based individual therapy for adults and seniors facing anxiety, depression, and life stressors, offering personalized care grounded in both clinical expertise and genuine compassion. Her work supports clients throughout California who are seeking high-quality mental health services tailored to their goals and values. Simone specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders/insomnia, with additional experience supporting individuals navigating midlife transitions and health-related stress. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I) to help clients better understand thought patterns, regulate emotions, and improve sleep and daily functioning. Her therapeutic style is collaborative and structured, empowering clients with practical tools they can apply beyond the therapy room. She works with adults (18+) and seniors managing work-related stress, chronic medical conditions, and major life changes. Simone creates a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, process past experiences, and build healthier coping strategies. She also offers additional expertise in related areas of mental health to ensure comprehensive, individualized treatment. Since beginning her clinical practice in 2017, Simone has remained committed to delivering thoughtful, research-informed psychological care. Outside of her professional work, she enjoys cooking, baking, and gardening- especially harvesting and preparing vegetables grown in her own garden, which reflects her appreciation for patience, growth, and intentional living.
