A Message from Our Founder & Lead Therapist
Hi, I’m Sheila Simons, and I want you to know—you’re not alone.
I’ve been where you are. I know what it’s like to face uncertainty, to feel stuck, or to wonder if healing is possible. As a retired military wife, a trauma-focused counselor, and someone who has experienced firsthand the power of LENS Neurofeedback, I am deeply committed to helping you reclaim your clarity, strength, and well-being.
At Monarch Counseling, you’re not just another client. You matter. Your story matters. Whether you’re navigating trauma, chronic stress, or simply seeking a path forward, I will walk alongside you, advocate for you, and provide the care you deserve.
Healing is possible. Let’s take that step together.
With love,
Sheila Simons
Sheila Simons
LPC-S, NCC, Founder of Monarch Counseling
Sheila Simons, LPC-S, NCC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and National Board Certfied Counselor with a deep passion for helping individuals heal from trauma and life’s challenges. As a retired military wife from San Diego, CA, she understands firsthand the complexities of military life and its profound impact on mental health and families. Since the foundation of Monarch Counseling, Sheila remains steadfast in her mission to help individuals heal, restore their lives, and step into their fullest potential—both emotionally and neurologically.
Acknowledging the Journey
Sheila’s journey into counseling began as a Christian lay counselor, which led her to work with foster care families, individuals, military personnel, and adolescents. With a trauma-focused approach, she has spent years utilizing advanced, evidence-based therapies, including EMDR and other trauma-informed modalities, to foster healing, resilience, and personal growth.
Her commitment to client care has always been at the heart of her work, ensuring individuals have access to the most effective tools for recovery. Sheila’s path took a deeply personal turn when her husband suffered a stroke, leaving their family facing an uncertain future. After just a handful of LENS Neurofeedback treatments, he regained his memory, cognitive function, and facial strength—leading to a stronger, more resilient life. This transformative experience reshaped Sheila’s focus, inspiring her to bridge the gap between mental and neurological health.
Envisioning the Future
Since then, LENS Neurofeedback has become the foundation of Monarch Counseling, helping clients experience profound and lasting healing. Sheila now exclusively offers LENS Neurofeedback in Northern Colorado, using this groundbreaking technology to help individuals overcome trauma, enhance mental clarity, and reclaim their well-being.
Beyond her work with LENS, Sheila is passionate about advocating for Veterans transitioning from military service by providing Nexus Letter documentation. Having lived the military lifestyle herself, she understands the sacrifices made and the challenges Veterans face in accessing the benefits they deserve. Too often, service-related trauma and injuries go unrecognized, leaving Veterans feeling unheard and unsupported. Sheila is dedicated to providing thorough, evidence-based assessments that honor their sacrifices and help them secure the care and recognition they rightfully deserve.
