I’m Simone Adkins, a relationship trauma therapist in Benicia, CA, serving women in Benicia, Vallejo, and the surrounding Bay Area. I help women heal from the deep impact of relationship trauma — starting with the early connections in childhood that often shape how we relate later in life. Those first relationships can quietly set patterns that show up in friendships, romantic partners, and even at work. In our work together, we focus on building the most important relationship you’ll ever have — the one with yourself. Through a somatic therapy approach, we move at your pace to restore safety, trust, and self-worth, creating the foundation for healthier, more fulfilling relationships in every area of your life.
