Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Jackson, MS

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a doctorate degree in Professional Counseling. I have over 7 years of experience and am committed to guide your towards becoming the you that you want to be. My overall goal is to leave this world better than I found it, one individual at a time.

My commitment to you is simple: I will listen carefully, communicate openly, and act with integrity in every interaction. I’ll take the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and values, and I’ll tailor my approach to meet your needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. You can expect transparency from me at every step. I’ll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, so you always feel informed and empowered to make decisions.

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.

With my education and experience; both personal and professionally, I am able to connect and provide care to a diverse group of people of all ages. I am a mother of four grown children and have ten grandchildren. I've experienced loss, hardship, as well as healing. I enjoy helping others reach their full potential and live his or her best life.

(Appt hours: Monday & Friday 9-1p and Wednesday 9-3p)Hi, I’m Jessica. I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My role is to create a space where you can exhale, take off the mask, and begin the journey toward wholeness and peace.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Right Mentality Mental Health and Wellness, I have dedicated my work to helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions with honesty, compassion, and cultural awareness.

I work with a special focus on supporting Black and Brown communities. My approach is collaborative, conversational, and grounded in real life. You can expect open dialogue, practical tools, and a therapist who meets you with both empathy and accountability.

Therapy with me is not about perfection. It is about progress, healing, and learning to show up for yourself in ways that honor your truth and your growth.

I’m Michele Ellis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. With over a decade of experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the social, emotional, and psychological challenges people face. My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs—meeting you exactly where you are in your journey. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and create a path toward meaningful, lasting change.

As a Black man, I understand the specific pressures we carry, the ones that we handle alone and don't always show. As a therapist, I help Black men work through depression, anxiety, relationship strain, identity questions, and the expectation to act like everything is fine when it isn't. Black men are not a monolith, and my work reflects that. I've worked with active duty military, veterans, clergy and people of faith, college students, the LGBTQIA+ community, and men living with HIV/AIDS. I built Brother2Brother Therapy Services because I saw a need for mental health care built for Black men. A space where there's no performing and no code-switching. Just honest conversation, brother to brother.
