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.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. As a counselor, I have worked in public schools, adult and youth residential facilities, online counseling, wilderness programs, private practice, and mental health facilities. My areas of expertise include sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, parenting, and leadership. I have presented at many local, state, and national professional conferences and have taught many masters’ level mental health courses for the past 20+ years. Currently, I am the Assistant Program Director and Associate Professor of Counseling at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. Prior to my work in counseling and academia, I served a tour of duty in Germany as an officer in the US Army and then back in America as a bank branch manager. I graduated from Brigham Young University with degrees in Corporate Communications (BA) and Educational Psychology (M.Ed.) and at the University of the Cumberlands (Ph.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision.
Hi Everyone! I’m Tiffany. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
In my practice, I support people who want to find more acceptance, wholeness, and aliveness in every area of their life. I often work with people who feel overwhelmed with self-criticism, doubt, sadness, anxiety, overwhelm, grief, and fear.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about my practice. My name is David Housley, PMHNP-BC, a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-based mental health care.
Professional Background & Philosophy
I believe effective mental health treatment is rooted in a collaborative therapeutic alliance. My approach is deeply patient-centered, focusing on your unique lived experiences, challenges, and goals. I utilize a structured, individualized framework to ensure you feel supported, respected, and actively involved in every decision regarding your care.
Areas of Focus
My practice centers on thorough psychiatric evaluations, personalized medication management, and advanced clinical treatments. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating:
Mood Disorders, including major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant conditions
Anxiety Disorders, such as generalized anxiety, panic, and stress-related challenges
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related spectrum presentations
What to Expect
When you partner with me, you can expect a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment. Whether conducting an initial evaluation or fine-tuning an ongoing treatment plan, my goal is to provide the clinical expertise, medical insights, and practical tools necessary to help you achieve lasting stability and improved well-being.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward better health.
I strive to be warm, approachable, easy to talk to, and an excellent listener. I am not here to judge you. I am a mother of three children who are all grown up and I’ve experienced more than my fair share of life challenges. I don’t recommend any treatments or practices that I myself have not used.
I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to genuinely be yourself. I’m a down-to-earth and approachable therapist, and my goal is to create a space where you feel supported and understood without feeling judged. I also believe therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy—there is absolutely room for humor and being human.
I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rocky Mountain University of Health Professionals. I have extensive experience working in mental health, particularly with adolescents, young adults, and families. Much of my professional background has been in residential treatment, where I have supported individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, relationship difficulties, and family conflict.
One thing my experience has taught me is that behavior usually makes a lot more sense once we understand what is happening underneath it. I enjoy helping clients understand themselves better, recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and find healthier ways to cope, communicate, and move forward.
I especially enjoy working with people who may have had a difficult experience with therapy in the past—or who aren't completely sure they want to be in therapy in the first place. You don't have to come in knowing exactly what you want to work on. We can figure that out together.
