Karen Simms
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!

Allison Puckett
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.

Are feelings of fear, unworthiness, guilt or sadness keeping you from reaching your full potential? Are the stories you tell yourself keeping you stuck in the same dysfunctional patterns again and again? Are the expectations of others in your life clashing with who you know to be your authentic self? There's a different way to be and a new life awaiting you. With someone to hold space for you, it is possible to grow in compassion for yourself. Are you ready to start challenging your inner critic so you can reach your full potential and lead the life you deserve? I’m a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky and Indiana. My passion is helping women reclaim the parts of themselves that may have been lost as we try to balance it all. In my work, I focus on self care, mindfulness, and helping you reframe beliefs that keep us stuck in negative patterns. I am particularly interested in the intersection between trauma and ADHD, being diagnosed later in life with neurodivergence myself. When working with clients, I believe that healing is a collaborative effort that requires an honest and nonjudgmental approach. As your therapist, I assist you in clarifying your goals and honor your inherent power to heal. Rather than being drawn to one modality, I look at all individuals, the environment and situation and draw on a number of modalities. I believe the therapeutic alliance is the most important aspect to healing and encourage my clients to openly discuss their experience in therapy. I invite you to reach out to see if we're a good fit.

Therapy can be hard. Regardless of what brought you here, know that I am here to listen and assist. You are the driver and we will move at your speed. I will challenge you along the way and encourage you to be flexible. I want you to take yourself seriously and commit to frank conversations. I want you to learn to hold yourself accountable. I want you to learn about self-compassion, self-care and the importance of boundaries within your relationships. Overall, I want a client who wants to make changes. I prefer for my first session with clients to be more casual than formal. I will ask you basic questions to gather some background information about you. These questions will mirror some of the questions on your intake form. The main goal of this session is to get to know each other. You can ask me questions too. You can share as little or as much as you want. I also like to discuss what your goals are for therapy as getting an idea of what your expectations and aspirations are is what drives your therapy sessions.
