I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity questions. My style blends depth-oriented therapy — exploring the deeper patterns and stories that shape you — with practical, evidence-based tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I spent nine years on the Boulder Crisis Team, providing psychiatric evaluations in ERs, jails, and walk-in clinics, which taught me how to stay calm and effective in moments of distress. In our work together, we’ll use both insight and skills — helping you understand the roots of your struggle while learning concrete ways to regulate emotions, change unhelpful patterns, and create a more meaningful, resilient life.

I DO NOT JUDGE, AT ALL, PERIOD. I can be both blunt and gentle as appropriate. My role is to offer another perspective, a way to see life more fully and function better, no more, no less. I don't pretend to have all the answers but only one slice of wisdom. I just share what can help someone. Some people are not yet ready to be helped. Yet for those who are feeling lost on life's journey and are willing to listen and learn, I'm here to assist. My life work can be summed up in three words, "offering people hope.

Hi, I’m Vickey Simmons-Hart, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona and a National Certified Counselor. I specialize in helping adults and couples navigate trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel supported and understood. I draw from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, DBT, and solution-focused methods. These tools allow me to tailor our work to your unique needs—whether that means processing past experiences, learning coping skills, or building healthier patterns in relationships. I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and together we will explore what feels most effective and meaningful for you. Clients often describe me as approachable, grounded, and practical. I strive to help you not only heal but also feel more confident in daily life. Our work may include identifying unhelpful cycles, exploring parts of yourself that need attention, and practicing skills that support regulation, resilience, and connection. At the heart of my practice is respect for the courage it takes to show up for yourself. Healing can feel messy and nonlinear, but I will walk alongside you with patience, honesty, and care. My role is to help you access your strengths and inner resources while offering proven techniques that support growth. I welcome clients from all walks of life and value inclusivity. You don’t have to have it all figured out—together, we can explore what’s working, what isn’t, and what change might look like. If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and growth, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Arizona rather than a city like Phoenix?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Arizona from Tucson to Mesa! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Arizona.

Will my therapist take Evernorth?

Yes! If you use Evernorth you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Evernorth you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I’m" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
