Matt Sims

Matt Sims

Therapist

Virtual • Leesburg, VA


They say you can’t choose your family, but you can choose your therapist, and I promise I’m a much better listener than your Uncle Chip. I’m Matt, and I’ve spent the last ten years helping people navigate the 'plot twists' of life. With a master's degree from Catholic University and a specialty in anxiety, relationships, and life adjustments, I’ve learned that while I can't wave a magic wand to fix your problems, I’m excellent at helping you find where you dropped yours. Let's get to work... no promises there won't be more metaphors down the road though.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Springfield

Searching for therapists in Springfield starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship stress, and life transitions. As you compare Springfield therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and what you can expect in sessions.

Springfield has local therapy options, but availability can vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Virginia while still letting you work with a licensed therapist who fits your preferences. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work with your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Springfield can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected payment before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready. Browse therapists, review bios, and choose care that matches your needs, schedule, and plan.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
