My name is Samantha Sims, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience serving adults and older adults. I’ve spent my entire career in Mental Health, working in a variety of roles that have shaped my ability to provide empathetic, patient‑centered care.
I am certified in CBT for Depression, a credential I earned while serving at the Birmingham VA Medical Center, where I supported veterans in several clinical positions. I also have training in Motivational Interviewing and Solution‑Focused Brief Therapy. Throughout my work in Mental Health, I’ve supported individuals living with severe mental illness—including Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder—as well as veterans navigating PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression. I’ve also worked with individuals and couples facing major life transitions or communication challenges that make it difficult to stay connected to the people they love.
For older adults, my work has included helping seniors manage the emotional impact of life changes, cope with depression or anxiety, and find practical strategies to address cognitive decline—such as memory loss—while maintaining independence and dignity.
No matter where your experiences fit within what I’ve described, you can trust that with Inner Truth Clinical Services, I will meet you exactly where you are. Together, we will focus on what matters most to you and work toward a life that feels more manageable, grounded, and meaningful.

I am a licensed independent practice-level clinical social worker. I have a Diplomate in Clinical Social Work DCSW. I have dedicated my career to working in behavioral health treatment. I have worked within the Department of Defense Schools in Europe and Asia. I have worked with Active Duty members, Veterans and their families. Prior to joining the Civil Service, I practiced mental health within the civilian community, my focus there was substance abuse, domestic violence and and a variety of mental health issues working with adolescents and adults. BLUF: There is nothing I haven't seen. My strongest ability lies in helping a client identify strengths and weaknesses while guiding them to identify goals and interventions that will work specifically for them. The most challenging part of therapy is believing it will make a difference. The best way to overcome that hurdle is to see successful outcomes.
Clinical experience has taught me that if you are willing to do the work, you will see results. Using the appropriate interventions, combined with mutual openness, respect and trust will enable you to overcome obstacles and achieve goals you didn't believe possible. Through years of dedicated work with all age groups, life experiences and extremely challenging circumstances, I have developed a strong sense of commitment in creating a safe and supportive environment that fosters healing, self-awareness and growth.

Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, a mom, a military spouse, and someone who knows firsthand what it's like to navigate life with ADHD. So, when I say I understand how overwhelming life can get, I'm not just speaking from a textbook.
I work with adults and teens navigating ADHD, burnout, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I have a particular passion for helping people who seem to have it all together on the outside but feel like they're barely keeping up on the inside. You know, the ones who are always showing up for everybody else but can't remember the last time they showed up for themselves.
As a military spouse, I also understand the unique challenges of military life, including deployments, constant adjustments, and the pressure to be strong and independent even when you're exhausted. And as someone diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I understand how validating, frustrating, and eye-opening it can be to finally make sense of the way your brain works.
My approach to therapy is warm, conversational, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and solution-focused techniques. My experience in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings has taught me that healing isn't one-size-fits-all.
I believe therapy should feel more like a meaningful conversation than an interrogation. We'll laugh when it's appropriate, work through the hard stuff, and make room for you to show up exactly as you are.
You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. That's part of what we're here to explore together.

I'm thrilled you're considering taking this courageous step towards self-discovery and growth. I believe deeply in the transformative power of therapy! I work with clients across a broad range of concerns, with particular expertise in PTSD, soul wounds, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and inner child issues . Whether you're struggling with overwhelming stress, navigating life transitions, or seeking to improve your relationships, I'm here to provide compassionate guidance and support. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and authenticity. I view therapy as a partnership where we work together to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental space. I integrate various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and psychodynamic techniques, to tailor our sessions to your unique needs and goals. Clients often describe my style as warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth. I strive to create a nurturing environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe laughter and a touch of humor can be powerful tools in the therapeutic process, providing relief and fostering connection. At the same time, I'm not afraid to gently challenge you and encourage you to explore areas that may be uncomfortable but essential for growth.

Greetings:
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Dothan, Alabama. I have worked in the field of Social Work since 1999. For the first 12 years of my career, I worked for Houston County Department of Human Resources working with families experiencing issues related to abuse and neglect. Since 2011, I have worked in the field of mental health in both the inpatient and outpatient setting.
My treatment approach is to meet the client where they are in their given situation and to provide the best help that I can provide. My focus in treatment is to help the client identify and process their emotions and to help the client learn coping skills that they can apply to their situation. The specific treatment modalities that I utilize during the course of treatment are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Supportive Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.
I feel that I can be of assistance to anyone in need of counseling services. I can offer the flexibility needed for clients, especially in the age of COVID-19.
I look forward to serving clients and providing the best intervention possible.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy 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.
