My name is Karen Crawford Simms, and I am a licensed mental health therapist. I welcome clients of all identities, especially those from communities that have faced exclusion or inequity. I specialize in working with adults in transition—particularly those in teaching, caregiving, helping, or service professions—who are navigating relationship issues, parenting challenges, and life or professional changes such as pregnancy, marriage, divorce, menopause, or illness. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed principles, cultural competence, and over 30 years of experience, study, and commitment to authentic healing and wholeness. I attended seminary, and if invited, I will respectfully explore issues of faith as part of therapy. If you’d like to learn more please reach out!

I am a highly qualified Licensed Clinical Social Worker [LCSW] with over 25 years of experience dealing with diverse populations of clients that include working with individuals, couples, families, young children, and adolescents. I hold a doctoral degree from Indiana University, 2008, and I received a Master’s degree in Social Work from Case Western Reserve University in 1982. My career involves organizational management, clinical supervision, and extensive experience with completing psychosocial assessments, treatment planning, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. I have proven success with engaging clients by empowering them to make positive changes in their lives. I do not view people as fundamentally flawed. I believe people know themselves better than experts in the helping professions. My approach to therapy is based on guiding my clients to work along with me to resolve their identified issues in treatment. A relationship with a therapist is one of the most intimate bonds a person can have in life. Who do you trust with your most private and vulnerable experiences? This is the reason why I take the time to build trust and rapport with my clients. Building trust is a critical part of achieving success in therapy. I am compassionate with strong communication, and interpersonal skills.

10+ years of well-rounded experience has given me an advantage in helping people work through a variety of issues that are important to them. Experience includes work with all ages, homelessness, families and substance use issues (including medication assisted therapy). My goal is to see individuals not only survive, but to thrive. Skilled at using Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques and Solution-Focused questions that can improve mental health functioning. Persons who respond well to encouragement, and who are willing to try new coping measures and communication skills, will be surprised at how much clearer they will see their circumstances and choices. Acceptance, normalization when appropriate, occasional challenging questions, and use of relaxation exercises as strategies of therapy will help improve one's quality of life. I like to see those I serve leave with greater emotional intelligence, laughing often, forgiving frequently and being able to see a more positive future. If I have helped anyone to have hope - I have achieved a step towards their healing. I frequently provide homework assignments and processing when talk therapy or listening doesn't lead to the results desired. Give me a call when you feel ready to make life changes in the area that you feel is appropriate and we will work together at your level of comfort to make the positive changes you desire. For those wishing to address PTSD consider visiting me in the office for Accelerated Resolution Therapy. BetterHelp does not provide a format for in person treatment - this would be private pay or insurance funding.
