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 am a licensed mental health counselor who has worked in the field for almost 9 years. I completed my Bachelor's of Psychology in 2009 and went straight into a Master's of Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. I received my Master's Degree in 2012. Since then I have worked with families, couples, and individuals of all ages. I work as a counselor in a college setting as well, and I am very familiar with the issues that come with college and young adulthood. My approach to counseling is individualized from person to person. I am warm, encouraging, and down-to-earth while also having a directive approach in session. Areas of interest include anxiety disorders, depression, adjustment and stress, family issues, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences. I tend to view client's stories through a trauma-informed lens. I have extensive history working with victims of abuse, domestic violence, and sexual violence. I am an advocate for social justice and equality. In my work with clients, I am sure to provide services individualized to your specific and unique needs and goals. I strive to work with you and along side you. Building on strengths is something important that I do with my work with clients. Also, insight building is a big part of what I do in treatment. Once an individual gains some insight into their patterns, thoughts, and behaviors then we can move forward with change. Taking that first step to reach out to a provider can be very difficult. I am glad that you are practicing self-care by exploring counseling options. If you are ready to begin your journey, I am here to walk alongside you. I look forward to working with you!
