Hi, I'm India. For the past 3 years, I've been supporting adults and teenagers who have been holding it together a while. I got into it because the quiet kind of struggling often gets overlooked. Maybe you're here because you woke at 3 a.m. with your chest tight and a list running. Maybe the group chat has sat there for days and you can't quite say why. Perhaps you're looking for counseling because getting up takes everything, or because you're good at your job and still hear a voice calling you a fraud. You don't have to have it named yet.
I'm not the therapist who just nods at you. I'll laugh with you. I'll get quiet when it's heavy. You set the pace and I follow it. Some weeks we walk it through step by step. Some weeks we write your story down until it reads differently on the page. I'll tell you the truth as I see it.
First session is mostly me asking and you answering, as deep as you want to go that day. Nothing assigned, nothing to prepare. Pick a time on my calendar here and we'll see if I'm the right fit for you.

I’m Amanda, and I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a place where they can show up exactly as they are. I bring warmth, authenticity, and even a bit of humor into the room when it feels right. I want you to feel genuinely seen—not judged—and supported in whatever you’re working through.
I’ve been in the counseling field for over 15 years and hold a PhD in Counselor Education from the University of Tennessee. My experience ranges from private practice and telehealth to correctional mental health, hospitals, and leadership roles in community programs. A. Simms Resume copy
I work with adults experiencing mood challenges, anxiety, identity concerns, life transitions, and LGBTQIA+ experiences, as well as individuals who are justice-involved or adjusting to major life changes. My approach integrates CBT, ACT, and Reality Therapy, giving us room to explore both deeper patterns and practical skills.
Clients describe me as encouraging, steady, and real—someone who helps them feel grounded and capable while taking meaningful steps toward a more balanced and authentic life.

I am a licensed therapist with a Doctorate in Professional Counseling from Mississippi College and nearly 15 years of experience supporting individuals, families, children, and adolescents in both individual and group therapy settings. Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of sitting with people through some of their most difficult and transformative moments, and I bring empathy, patience, and genuine care to every session.
My clinical experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and behavioral health concerns across a wide variety of ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances. Two populations are especially close to my heart: children and adolescents experiencing behavioral or emotional challenges, and women healing from trauma. I understand how overwhelming these experiences can feel, and I am deeply committed to helping clients reclaim their strength, find hope, and move toward healing. I believe healing is possible for everyone, and I consider it an honor to be trusted as part of that journey.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Mississippi
Searching for therapists in Mississippi is easier when you start with the kind of support you want. Across the state, your options may vary between larger areas and more rural communities, so it helps to look for a therapist whose training and listed specialties match your needs. You might want support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, review their bios for details about their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
Location and schedule matter, especially when comparing therapists across Mississippi. If you live near Jackson, Gulfport, Oxford, or a smaller community, you may want to decide whether in-person sessions, virtual appointments, or both fit your routine. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
The cost of therapy in Mississippi can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new clients, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
