Therapist

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.

Hello, and welcome.

Seeking support can be one of the most courageous steps a person takes, and I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and genuinely supported. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, build resilience, and move toward the life you want to live.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor with extensive experience working with adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Throughout my career, I have worked in outpatient, residential, and community-based settings, helping individuals navigate some of life's most difficult experiences while rediscovering their strengths and sense of purpose.

In addition to my clinical experience, I am a United States Air Force combat veteran and former first responder. These experiences have given me firsthand insight into the unique challenges associated with high-stress professions, trauma exposure, operational demands, transition struggles, and the pressure of carrying significant responsibility while managing your own well-being. As a result, I have a particular passion for working with veterans, active-duty military members, first responders, healthcare professionals, and others whose careers require them to care for others while often neglecting themselves.

Welcome. I am a dedicated mental health professional with extensive experience supporting both children and adults. I primarily work with individuals struggling with sadness, guilt, loss, loneliness, panic, overthinking, shame, ruminating thoughts, family issues, trauma, and worry. Having worked as a Grief Counselor in my previous role, I helped individuals navigate life while adjusting to their grief by sitting with people as they share their deepest thoughts and emotions. I offer an inclusive space where clients can feel safe, respected, and seen.
