I believe meaningful change happens when people feel heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with principles of positive psychology to help clients better understand their thoughts, build resilience, and create lasting, meaningful change. I work collaboratively with clients to identify strengths, overcome challenges, and develop healthy coping strategies that support emotional well-being and personal growth. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, or simply striving for a more fulfilling life, I provide a compassionate, goal-oriented space where you can move forward with confidence. Outside of my practice, I value living an active lifestyle and understand the important connection between physical and mental well-being. I enjoy staying active and believe that movement, balance, and self-care are important components of overall health. My goal is to help clients develop practical skills that empower them to thrive not just cope in their everyday lives.

You’re used to handling a lot. Whether it’s your career, your relationships, or being the person others rely on, you’ve learned how to push through—even when it’s exhausting. But at some point, pushing through stops working. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, and relationship patterns—especially when life looks “together” on the outside but feels overwhelming or unsustainable underneath. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, yet find themselves stuck in cycles like overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and attachment-based work. In our sessions, we’ll look at both the deeper patterns shaping your experiences and the practical strategies that help you feel better day-to-day. Clients often come to therapy wanting relief from constant stress or mental overload. Over time, they develop a clearer understanding of themselves, stronger boundaries, and the ability to respond to challenges with more focus and confidence. I’m active and engaged in the therapy process. I won’t just sit back and listen. I help you connect the dots, notice patterns in real time, and build tools that actually translate into your daily life. I bring 5 years of experience in community mental health, working with children, adolescents, and adults. Clients often describe me as calm, steady, and easy to talk to—while also helping them move forward in meaningful ways.

I have worked in school-based community mental health for six years. During this time I intermittently provided teletherapy and realized I love providing clients the access to therapy on their own terms. While I'm not new to the field, I’m excited to start using my experience to support clients and families with Grow! Therapy can feel intimidating and invasive, but it doesn't have to be! My goal is to make therapy approachable and beneficial for every client I serve. Are you a teenager caught in the challenges that come with being between childhood and adulthood? Are you a parent looking to better connect with and understand your child? Are you or your child having a hard time in school? Are you tired of the tension, arguments, hopelessness, and dysfunction? If so, you've come to the right place and I can't wait to help you get started!

Hello, and welcome. Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or simply wanting things to feel more manageable again. My goal is to offer a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re experiencing. I take a collaborative, supportive approach to therapy and work to meet you where you are. Together, we focus on understanding patterns, building emotional awareness, and developing practical tools that help you feel more grounded and confident in your daily life. Therapy with me is not about judgment or pressure—it’s about clarity, growth, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

I have dedicated more than 30 years of my life to the helping profession of Social Work. I have worked tirelessly to advocate for the poor, elderly, disabled and those struggling with substance use and mental health challenges. I prefer to be in the present, listen to the client and partner with them to come up with a plan to meet their unique set of challenges and opportunities, not just just meet short term goals but make therapy a way to teach long term ways of coping that aid in meeting challenges in the future and not dependent on the therapist but through inner strengths that are fostered in therapy as ways to build up self-esteem, cultural pride and self worth.

I’m a licensed psychologist (PhD) specializing in autism, ADHD, and complex patterns in both children and adults. I work with thoughtful individuals and parents who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like something isn’t fully adding up—especially when traditional approaches haven’t helped. My approach is warm, direct, and insight-driven. I don’t just listen—I help you understand patterns, make sense of what’s going on, and figure out what actually works for your brain (or your child’s). I’m neurodiversity-affirming and experienced in differentiating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, and sensory or social overwhelm. With parents, I focus on helping you understand your child more clearly and respond in ways that actually work—so things feel more manageable at home. Sessions are collaborative, practical, and focused on meaningful change.

Hi I am Kendra Simmons. Taking the first step toward improving your mental wellness is something to be proud of. Therapy can feel intimidating, especially when it’s misunderstood as a sign that something is “wrong.” In truth, it’s a healthy and proactive way to care for yourself.

Whether you’re preparing for marriage, feeling overwhelmed in your relationship, navigating blended family dynamics, or managing personal struggles, I offer personalized support to help you move forward.

Welcome! I’ve been working with individuals, couples and families pursuing counseling for more than over 19 years. My experience has centered around assisting adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, difficulty adjusting and adapting to the changes they are experiencing in life, grief and trauma. The philosophical foundation of my therapy is based on the understanding that what we think influences how we feel which impacts how we behave. Therefore, to change any behavior or feeling we first need to address our thinking. My goal in the counseling process is to assist you in improving the quality of your life by guiding you in how to manage, resolve, and/or reconcile those issues in your life creating difficulty for you.

You appear calm and put together on the outside, internally you feel overwhelmed and exhausted. You've been doing everything you can to keep things together so no one notices how much you're struggling, but lately it feels harder to manage. You're doing your best to hold on, yet you worry that one more stressful situation could push you past your limit. You continue to smile, show up, and tell yourself you're okay, even when deep down you know you're not. Because you look “fine” to others, people may not realize how heavy things have become for you. You often minimize your own pain by comparing yourself to others, convincing yourself that you should just be grateful because “others have it worse.” As a result, prioritizing your emotional well-being can feel selfish or undeserved. If this describes you, and you are ready to stop overthinking, you are no longer willing to put your own needs on the backburner, you are ready to silence the inner critic, work on your personal and/or professional relationships, and you want to stop just going through the motions, we should talk. I have the credentials that every other therapist has earned, representing the commitment of a competent practitioner. However, its important to note that my caring coupled with my competence makes me who I am. I am a person of faith, wife (retired military veteran) mother, grandmother, and dog mom. I've navigated many seasons of life overcoming grief and loss, divorce, careers, the sandwich generation (caring for aging parents and small children), financial challenges, and blending a family. All the makings for stress, anxiety, and depression. During these and other dark seasons, it was the professional help holding my hand through the darkness until I could see the light again. Let's walk together to the light.

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.
