Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • South Jordan, UT


I work with individuals who are ambitious and capable but often feel stretched thin trying to keep up with life, goals, and expectations. Many of my clients are professionals or working adults navigating stress, burnout, perfectionism, or self-doubt. I also enjoy working with teenage girls (13+). Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, set realistic boundaries for your time and energy, manage stress, and find more peace in the present while still working toward meaningful goals for your future.

I’m EMDR-trained and IFS-informed. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Boise State University in 2021.

I bring a mix of deep listening, mindfulness, and just enough humor to help you breathe a little easier while we face the hard stuff together. I believe deeply in the possibility of change — the real kind of change that takes courage, patience, and practice. And I know that change is hard, which is why you’ll never have to navigate it alone in our work.

Clients often describe me as warm, collaborative, and gently direct. I’m committed to making therapy a space where you feel supported, challenged in helpful ways, and respected for the experiences that shaped you. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship patterns, identity concerns, or major life transitions, I’ll walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion, humor, and practical guidance.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 22 mi away • Layton, UT


Hello and nice to meet you. I am a mental health therapist who helps individuals, couples, and families strengthen their connection to themselves and to others. My work centers on improving communication, deepening understanding, and creating meaningful change through authentic relationships.

With years of experience in trauma recovery, family systems, and communication dynamics, I support clients in uncovering patterns that affect how they relate and respond in their relationships. My background includes working with developmental/family of origin trauma, toxic and high conflict relationships, survivors of narcissistic abuse, relational trauma, and complex grief and loss. These experiences have shaped my understanding that healing and connection go hand in hand.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 23 mi away • Layton, UT


Hi, I'm Shelley Sims, LMFT.

I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, understood, and accepted. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.

I work with adults, teens, and couples who are navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, ADHD, OCD, burnout, life transitions, and low self-worth. Many of my clients have spent years putting everyone else first and are ready to reconnect with themselves, set healthier boundaries, and build lives that feel more peaceful and fulfilling.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and somatic, nervous system-informed techniques. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, process painful experiences, and develop practical skills that create lasting change.

Whether you're healing from childhood wounds, working through relationship struggles, managing overwhelming emotions, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to do it alone. I believe growth is possible at any stage of life, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you rediscover your strengths and move toward the life you want.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out. If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd love to help.
