LCSW, 7 years of experience
I’m Rashaun Sims, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or relationship issues, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can explore your concerns and work toward meaningful change. I take a practical, insight-driven approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your needs using evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, Attachment Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. My goal is to help you understand the deeper patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships while equipping you with tools to break unhelpful cycles and move forward with confidence. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to take the next step toward emotional well-being, let’s start this journey together.
In our first session, I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing what has brought you to therapy. We’ll explore your background, current challenges, and what you hope to gain from therapy, all at a pace that feels right for you. I’ll listen with empathy and care, ensuring you feel heard and supported. Together, we’ll begin to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. This session is about building trust, setting a foundation for our work together, and helping you take the first step toward healing and growth.
As a therapist, my greatest strengths lie in my deep empathy, genuine connection, and ability to create a safe, supportive space for healing. I prioritize authenticity and active listening, ensuring you feel truly heard and understood. My reliability and consistency provide a strong foundation for our work together, offering steady support throughout your journey. I am committed to fostering open dialogue, personal growth, and emotional healing, helping you explore challenges with confidence and self-compassion. With a warm and nonjudgmental approach, I strive to empower you to navigate life’s obstacles and move toward lasting change.
I specialize in working with older teenagers and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and life transitions. Whether you’re struggling with peer relationships, workplace stress, self-esteem, or addiction, I provide practical strategies and compassionate support to help you regain confidence and move forward. I also offer a space for clients exploring spirituality, identity, and personal growth, helping you find deeper meaning and alignment in your life. My goal is to create a supportive, inclusive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward emotional well-being.
“In my practice, I utilize attachment-based therapy to help clients explore their early childhood experiences and attachment styles. By understanding these foundational relationships, we can uncover patterns that influence how they connect with themselves and others in the present.”
"With cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I assist clients in identifying negative thought and behavior patterns, along with the underlying beliefs and systems that drive them. I provide clients with self-monitoring tools to use between sessions, empowering them to work towards their therapeutic goals."
"I employ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients reprocess traumatic memories through bilateral stimulation. This technique supports clients in overcoming past trauma and moving towards healing."
I use Motivational Interviewing to guide clients through the stages of change, helping them overcome barriers and boost their motivation. This approach facilitates a collaborative exploration of their goals and challenges, enhancing their readiness for change.
I use psychodynamic therapy to help clients uncover unconscious patterns and unresolved conflicts from their past. By bringing these issues to light, clients can gain deeper self-awareness and achieve emotional healing.

My first session with Rashaun was amazing! She is very kind, warm, and easy to talk to. Each part of our conversation enabled me to tap further into my feelings and she helped me personally validate each one. I would love to recommend Rashaun to others who are seeking a therapist that makes them feel comfortable and accepted.

This was my first experience with therapy and starting off I really enjoyed talking to this provider. Over the last couple of appointments she started to not show up for our appointment which was kind of hurtful. Now I have to have to start completely over with someone new. The communication about the no shows to our sessions would be 1-2 mins prior of our session starting and then I wouldn’t hear anything else from her very disheartening and unprofessional very disappointed.
