Hi, I'm Tina Simmons, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Sharon Davis Counseling PLLC. I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where adults can navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and move forward with hope. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use and recovery concerns, life transitions, and the unique challenges faced by veterans and military spouses. I believe healing remains possible—even during life's hardest moments.
I work with adolescents, adults, and couples and specialize in supporting clients facing addiction, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to help people grow through practical tools, self-awareness, and renewed hope.
I bring years of experience using evidence-based therapies to support meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating a major life shift, struggling with motivation, or working through long-standing challenges, I’m here to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you move forward.
I have been married for 41 years and am a mother and grandmother. I have have an MSW degree and have been in private practice as a therapist for 27 years. I prefer serving adults and have a passion for individual and couples counseling.
I have been provided therapy services since 2021. I was trained in EMDR in 2024 and have been practicing since then. I have worked with individuals of all ages, but prefer to work with ages 14 and up.
As a Missouri Ozarks native, nature and the outdoors have always played a huge part in my healing journey and mental health. Growing up, I was outside any chance I got; riding bikes, riding horses, climbing trees, bird watching, rock collecting, camping, hiking, floating, boating, spelunking, exploring creeks, and enjoying campfires. Nature immersion, movement in nature, outdoor recreation, and horsemanship remain part of my daily practice; and I incorporate these into my therapeutic work wherever possible.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Springfield
Searching for therapists in Springfield starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare Springfield therapists, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Reading bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Springfield has a range of therapy options, including therapists with offices near central neighborhoods and therapists who offer virtual sessions across Missouri. In a mid-sized market, it helps to balance location, schedule, and fit. Some people prefer in-person therapy in Springfield, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility around work, school, or caregiving. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their communication style.
Therapy in Springfield can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins.
