Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, or past trauma begin to take up more space than the life you want to live. You may be exhausted from carrying everything on your own, struggling to manage emotions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. I work with adults and teens who are ready for change but may not know where to start. Together, we'll create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

Tyler Simmons

Tyler Simmons

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


As a board‐certified clinical social worker and psychotherapist with over 16 years of experience, I believe that prioritizing mental health is essential for long‐term wellness. Anxiety can show up in many ways — excessive worry, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, panic attacks, digestive issues, trouble sleeping, irritability, and tension in relationships are all possibly signs.

I’ve spent years helping people understand these symptoms, make sense of how they’re connected, and learn effective strategies to reduce distress and regain control. If you’re experiencing any of these challenges, I would love to help you build clarity, confidence, and a path forward.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Opelika, AL


Healing happens when you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, OCD, family conflict, anger management, and cultural & ethnic identity concerns while also helping clients facing depression, trauma, stress, grief, ADHD, relationship challenges, women's issues, physical health concerns, and life transitions. With more than 17 years of experience in mental health, I bring a diverse background that includes private practice, school counseling, and serving as an Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant. These experiences have strengthened my belief that lasting growth happens through meaningful connections—with ourselves, our relationships, and our communities. Whether you're seeking support during a difficult season or looking to create lasting change, I'm committed to meeting you where you are with compassion, respect, and practical guidance.
