Dr. Simon Walsh, DMSc, MA, NCC, Owner & Psychotherapist

At Moirai Psychotherapy, Dr. Walsh embodies a relationship-driven, psychodynamic, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach with clients. As a board-certified, fully licensed professional counselor specializing in sex therapy and affirming care for the Queer community, Dr. Walsh uses the therapeutic alliance as the crucible for transformation, guiding clients in spinning new narratives from their life threads. Dr. Walsh is currently accepting new clients for couple or individual sessions.

In collaboration with Dr. Walsh, you’ll explore the deeper patterns shaping your life: attachment wounds, relational scripts, and internal parts:

• Co-creating session goals that honor your readiness and comfort.
• Engaging your internal system through IFS to dialogue with parts carrying pain, protection, and longing.
• Uncovering how early relationships and family dynamics set unconscious templates for intimacy and identity.

Simon situates your experiences in their developmental and cultural context, illuminating hidden influences:

• Mapping relational histories to reveal patterns in love, desire, and self-worth.
• Tracing cultural, familial, and personal narratives that shape beliefs about sexuality and identity.
• Using psychodynamic insight to understand how defense mechanisms once served you, and how they can evolve.

Embracing the human experience of endings and transitions, Dr. Walsh helps you mark milestones and open space for growth:

• Rituals and reflective exercises that honor the work completed and set intentions for what’s next.
• Extended and twice-weekly appointments for deeper immersion and working through core conflicts.
• Translating insights into daily practices that reinforce new patterns of resilience and authenticity.

In your work with Dr. Walsh, you’ll find:

• A welcoming environment where Queer identities and sexual or identity shame can be explored without judgment.
• Flexibility in scheduling to support those seeking either regular or intensive therapeutic work.
• Exploration of your story with curiosity, compassion, and depth.

If you feel ready to start services, Dr. Walsh would be honored to walk alongside you, helping you weave a narrative that reflects your true potential.
