I am licensed in California . I have 20 years of professional work experience . I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work , from California State University Long Beach. I thrive in the opportunity to help clients move through the counseling process , with the goals of adaptive coping and wellness in the management of their issues and stressors. I enjoy educating clients on Wellness Practice and extending supportive psychotherapy to clients .
Clients can expect a safe and supportive environment where they are seen and heard , as they disclose current issues struggles and stressors they are facing . I believe that you are the expert of you story, and that you have many strengths that can assist you in overcoming things that challenge you . Taking the first step to sign up for counseling takes courage , and I am proud of you for getting started .
I am highly empathetic and compassionate . I enjoy and am as passionate about working in my field as much as when I started .
I have experience in helping clients with Stress and Anxiety, Sleeping Disorders, Motivation, Self Esteem, and Confidence, Coping with Life Transitions, Women's Issues and Depression.

From day one Anne has been there for me. She listens to me and gives feedback on my concerns. I like the extra information like podcasts and articles she gives me to work on at home. I like the way she lets me participate in my therapy.

Anne Sims is very patient and understanding while making sure I have a chance to say what I need help with. She is much better than the original therapist I had with Grow Therapy. I look forward to my next session with her.

Anne was very helpful listening to my concerns and giving me suggestions on how I could put things in motion to help myself. I felt a lot better after our session. Thanks Anne
