Sims Counseling & Consulting

Sims Counseling & Consulting is a sanctuary for holistic and integrative mental health. At Sims, we go beyond conventional psychotherapy, weaving mindfulness, art, meditation, yoga, movement, and somatic experiencing into the fabric of our services. Here, we believe in nurturing the complete being – mind, body, and soul. Sims Counseling and Consulting, established on October 3, 2015, is the vision realized by its founder, LaShonda Sims Duncan. Driven by a commitment to address the mental health and wellness needs of everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status, LaShonda envisioned a mental health practice that would offer high-quality and compassionate care to individuals who may not yet recognize the value of these services for themselves. Her mission was to establish a nurturing environment where individuals could explore new thoughts and discuss topics seldom shared outside the confines of their homes or at all. LaShonda, drawing from her own experiences of humble beginnings and firsthand encounters with the stigma, bias, stereotypes, and limitations in healthcare, aimed to create a space where clients on state funded insurance plans (Medicaid) receive the same high-quality care as self-pay clients. Her personal mantra for the practice is "Feel Safe & Seen at Sims."
