About Me
I am a licensed profession counselor with a wide range of experiences. Throughout my 13 + years in the field, I have worked in residential treatment centers for adolescents and hospitals with adults dealing with depressions, anxiety, family issues, PTSD, and substance abuse.
My counseling style is direct and interactive. My clinical approach combines cognitive behavioral, narrative, and solution focused therapies. When working with addiction, I am 12 step abstinence based. Our clinical work and treatment plan will be designed based on your needs and personal goals.
I believe that asking for help is the first step in making better decisions in your life. Together we can work through any issue and achieve success. My only request is that you are honest and open about your presenting problem and are willing to take the necessary steps.
I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Teri Simmons. 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.
Teri is awesome. In only 2 sessions, she has been a tremendous help. Looking forward to continuing to work with her
She’s very helpful and shows that she cares for her clients
So far Terri is great! I like her honesty and listening skills. It has helped so far, and I plan to continue with her
Teri has the ideal mix of professional and personal you want in a counselor. I met her during a very tough time and she has guided me to a much better place I wouldn't have been without her help. I'm constaly impressed how well she keeps up with everything I have going on in my life. Makes me feel like I'm her only client.
Teri has been fantastic to work with. She makes sure to clarify specific goals and intentions and introduces great concepts for me to think about in the absence pressing issues that I want to discuss. I feel very confident in her abilities and and am exciting to have found her here on this platform!
Teri is AMAZING. Such a great listener! She doesn’t just hear my concerns, she also helps me work through them and understand why I perceive them in certain ways. She is so helpful in focusing on defined goals and actions to work through different stressors on my own and help me find independence in handling my stress.
Teri has been awesome in the short time I’ve worked with her! Excited to continue speaking with her and making progress toward my goals.
Teri is a godsend in this insane time but I would recommend her at any time. She’s tremendously helpful in session, sends useful resources whenever she comes across them and truly knows what is happening with her patients. In the past, I have seen therapist who had to check their notes and I had to explain the same issues many times, that is not ever the case with Teri.
Teri is empathetic and patient. She is intentional about educating her clients about the methods and schools of thought she uses to address their concerns. She is a consistent and timely communicator. I would definitely recommend her to those who are new to therapy or looking for a refreshing approach.
It continues to be a positive, supportive experience.
In a short period of time Teri and I have made a strong connection and she has helped me tremendously to sort through the challenges I have been grappling with and to build up tools for dealing with them. She is very responsive. I'm very grateful for her help.
Teri Simmons is a wonderful counselor who listens to you intently and tries to fit guidance to your needs. I would recommend her to those who have self confidence or self identify concerns!
She’s very knowledgeable and has a comforting spirit. She is respectful and encouraging, I’d recommend her to anyone.
Teri has been a great counselor and a friend to help me navigate through my tough times. To be honest, I thought cognitive therapy was just a fancy word therapists used. But right after the first few conversations, I was able to notice the effect it had on the way I think and respond to situations and stressors around me. All thanks to Teri!
Teri has been very responsive and helpful. The support outside of the actual sessions has been very supportive and appreciated. We have accomplished a lot in a short period of time.
She is amazing! I have referred friends to her. She is direct and truly an amazing person who is up front with you. I would highly recommend .
