Kevin Simms, LCSW, CADC-II, CSAT

Founder, Punk Rock Therapy LA

I’m not your typical therapist. I don’t do soft-focus therapy or sugarcoat what’s holding you back. I help men and couples face the truth, break destructive patterns, and build something real.

I specialize in sex and love addiction, substance use, trauma, and relationship repair. My clients are often high-functioning but disconnected, sober or trying to get there, successful on paper yet stuck in shame, anger, or isolation.

My approach is direct, relational, and grounded in real-world recovery. I use two-person psychology, mindfulness, CBT, and trauma-informed therapy to help you understand yourself, rebuild trust, and reconnect with your purpose.

I bring over 15 years of experience in addiction treatment and recovery work, both personally and professionally. Therapy with me is about honesty, growth, and learning how to live in alignment with who you really are, no bullshit, no judgment, just real change.

“I know that life’s most difficult moments can shake your confidence and leave you

feeling unsure of your next step. With the right support, those same moments can

also become powerful opportunities for resilience, insight, and meaningful change".

This belief guides my work as a Marriage and Family Therapist.

With 17 years of experience, I provide psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and

couples from diverse cultural backgrounds, offering sessions in English, Portuguese,

and Spanish. I am committed to creating a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental

therapeutic environment where clients feel supported in gaining insight, building

confidence, and developing a more authentic sense of self.
