“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another”

What does this counselor do? The simplest answer — I help others. I help others by exposing patterns, connecting dots and assisting the process of increasing self-efficacy. Life has called me into this profession to help others help themselves. If you are willing to put the work in, I am too. 2023 marks my eleventh year in the mental health field and I am so grateful to be an active part in its evolution. I have worked with individuals in all walks of life and these experiences have made me a better counselor. I am a marriage and family therapist by degree and licensed to work with everyone including individuals, couples and families. My specialties include anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, couples' issues and perinatal support. I'm here to help my clients process their feelings of discomfort and figure out a plan of action. If you’ve come this far, let me help you the rest of the way.

Life is like a roller coaster that includes many unexpected turns and twists. At one point we feel like we have everything together then the next minute everything seems to be falling apart. We may even question the direction that we are going and if we are at peace with where we are at. Every person will experience life challenges in their own special way. However, during these times allow me to support you with navigating through these challenges.

Please let me introduce myself. My name is Alexandria Simms, and I am a Licensed Social Worker/Therapist. I have experience working with individuals striving to overcome stress, depression, anxiety, and chemical dependency. In a collaborative effort I work closely with my clients to identify and address their unique needs in ways that manifest best within them. As a therapist, I pride myself on authenticity and therapeutic transparency. I prioritize creating a safe space where people can share their experiences and concerns without judgment.
