Dr. Amanda Simms

Therapist

Virtual • Mississippi


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.

Patricia Jackson Wolfe

Therapist

Virtual • Mississippi


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.

Elizabeth Coleman

Elizabeth Coleman

Therapist

Virtual • Mississippi


Therapy with me isn't about me telling you what to do or handing you a workbook and calling it healing. What I've learned in doing this work since 2016 — in community mental health centers, residential programs, child welfare — is that people don't need more advice. They need someone who will actually sit with them in the hard stuff and help them figure out their own way through.

I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, relationship struggles, and life transitions — including the ones nobody warned you about. I'm based in Mississippi and see all my clients via telehealth through Headway's platform, which means you get the same quality care from your living room that you'd get in any office.
