I am an experienced mental health professional with a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy but most importantly I am committed to staying abreast of best practices to help you get the outcomes you seek. I specialize in helping 'clients' navigate through transitions: moving to a new city, dealing with a breakup/divorce, unemployment/a new job, or even sorting out what it's like to be in the sandwich phase of life. My goal is to support you having a more empowered, stressless life. Therapist, activist, educators and human service professionals might also want to work with me because I understand the unique struggles, cost, and benefits of being a healer. It's tempting to feel like you give your life to your work. I can help you find your groove again.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Karen Simms. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Karen is very supportive and easy to talk to. Knowing that it is not easy for me to open up, she (and BetterHelp) offer a variety of different forms of communication. When I would disappear for weeks or even months, Karen would continue to reach out and send messages of support and encouragement to get back in touch and share my experiences.

Karen has really taken the time to make sure I'm alright. Even when I go inactive for a few days, she always checks up on me. She's given me very helpful ways to manage my anxiety and depression that have made immense changes for me! I would definitely recommend her & BetterHelp to those who need it.

Karen Simms is an extremely understanding helpful person. Since the first session I felt at ease with her. She creates a comfortable not judgmental atmosphere which is so important to be able to open up. She makes sure that I’m doing ok at other times out of sessions showing genuine interest. I will recommend her 100%.
