About me

Hello, I'm a licensed Professional Counselor based in Michigan. I have 21 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress, worry, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing to make sure you feel we are a good match. This will also help us to create a tailored plan for us to work through together in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have developed my ability to help individuals gain insight and self-awareness, identify the root cause of current challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I do well with clients whom are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often struggle with experiencing and accepting their own human emotions, feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their journey in life.

Watisha Sims is an exceptional therapist. I wish I could check or select every box listed above. She’s thorough. She listens and provides solutions. Never judgmental and willing to get to the root of the issues. I am so grateful to have her. I wish I could talk to her every single day. Thank you, Watisha

Watisha immediately made me feel comfortable to open up to her and talk about what has been going on. We reflected on my life and came up with an assignment for me to continue to work on throughout the week. She was honest and empowering. I truly felt like she cared about me even with it being our first session.
