About me
I am a mental health counselor licensed in Louisiana with over 5 years of experience working as a LPC. I worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavior issues and ADHD.
I would have to describe my counseling style as being warm and passionate.
I love to provide great counseling skills which includes being patience, a good listener, being knowledgeable, and having/showing empathy . I believe in treating anyone with respect, providing unconditional positive regards and demonstrating high fidelity services.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, interpersonal, group and cognitive therapy,
I feel as a counselor my duty is to ensure and use counseling methods to help people manage and overcome mental and emotional issues.

Ms. Simmons is amazing! She listens without judgement, is empathetic and sympathetic, and is able to recommend things that actually help. The atmosphere she creates is a relaxing open one that allows you the freedom to express yourself and she gives you the tools to do the work that is needed to be the best version of yourself.
