Struggling with depression, anxiety, self-doubt, or major life changes can feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether you're facing a difficult transition, working through past experiences, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you don't have to navigate it alone.

I work with adults and young adults to manage anxiety, heal from trauma, strengthen self-esteem, and build greater confidence in themselves and their decisions. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, helping you identify both the challenges you face and the strengths you already possess.

Together, we’ll create a personalized plan for growth that is realistic, empowering, and grounded in your values and goals. My goal is to help you develop practical tools, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

Blair Nicol

Blair Nicol

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


Hi I'm Blair, a licensed clinical social worker with experience in behavioral health, residential, and community-based settings. My work is rooted in a relational, intuitive approach, with a strong focus on the connection between mind and body. I care a lot about helping people reconnect, with themselves, their bodies, and the world around them. Outside of therapy, I’m deeply drawn to nature and have led outdoor programs for adolescents around the world, which continues to shape how I show up in this work. Because of this background, I am offering walk and talk sessions in addition to virtual. I aim to be authentic, present, and genuinely curious with the people I work with.

Therapist

Virtual • Lehi, UT


I'm a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and have been working professionally as a therapist since 2023. However, I began working in the mental health field with children in foster care in 2016. My time with those kids made me realize that my passion for helping people was in therapy, not in medicine. During my program, I interned in the Alaska Child Trauma Center with kids as young as 2.5 years old. After getting my Master's degree, I began working in inpatient hospitals with teenagers. These experiences are what led to my interest in helping people of all ages work through trauma, suicidal ideation, and behavioral issues. As well as helping parents find the best way to manage their children's behaviors and find the best way to improve their relationship.

Dr. Amanda Simms

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


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.

Compassionate, Goal-Oriented Care for Trauma & Mental Health

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, and treatment-resistant mental health conditions. With over 20 years of experience, I take a goal-oriented, intensive, and patient-directed approach to therapy, integrating EMDR, somatic therapy, and Trauma-Focused ACT (TFACT) to help clients reclaim their lives.

I have extensive experience working with veterans, law enforcement, and individuals navigating complex trauma, as well as those dealing with functional neurological disorders, chronic pain, and severe anxiety or depression. My practice offers structured treatment programs, including EMDR intensives, pain management programs, and immersive healing experiences tailored to your unique needs.

I believe in the deep connection between the mind and body and incorporate physical movement, self-defense principles, and mindfulness-based techniques into my work when beneficial. Whether you're seeking relief from trauma, chronic pain, or emotional distress, I provide a direct yet compassionate approach to help you heal and move forward.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward resilience and recovery.
