History

WHO IS... TOBY?

Tobias (Toby) Simers is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Missouri and earned his MA in Counseling from Covenant Seminary, St Louis, MO.

And that's the last time I'll speak in third person. So, professionally, I am a member of the American Counseling Association and the American Association of Christian Counselors.  I was formerly employed in the marketplace, cut my teeth in marketing, then served for 12 years in ministry including seasons as a Youth Pastor, Spiritual Formations Leader and Community Care Pastor. Yeah, pretty big switch huh?!  Then I worked with adults and adolescents in Inpatient and Outpatient Hospital programs through both group and individual treatment. Even bigger switch, aye!

Personally, I'm a devoted and growing father of two teenagers, and enjoy being outdoors as often as possible whether paddling a canoe or kayak, or riding bikes or chasing trout with a fly rod. And, I have a really cool dog that I would totally bring to the office with me if my building allowed it. 

Clinically, I like to think of myself as walking alongside persons who are stuck, wounded or traumatized and in need of a guide to help them move toward healthier life and relationships.  Specifically I have had experience working with:

• Anger, Abuse, Anxiety, Trauma, 
• Marriage and Family, Parenting, Mid-life/Career Transition,
• Divorce Recovery, Depression, Unresolved Grief/Loss, Emotional-Spiritual Issues.

Always, I'm kind of a coach...and I take a very real, humorous when possible, encouraging approach in working with all issues faced by men, women and adolescents.
