Lauren Sims

Hi! I’m so glad you’re here!

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Regis, with a MA in counseling psychology and became a licensed therapist, later earning an MBA in Healthcare Administration with honors, while working for a large health plan.

Throughout my career, I’ve stayed committed to growth, continued education, and surrounding myself with great mentors. Mentors are valuable at every stage of a career. I’ve learned navigating life successfully is about discovering what works and learning from others who share their journey.

I grew up near Columbus, Ohio (Go Buckeyes!) and have called Colorado home since graduating from CSU. I love the arts- museums, theater/movies, and comedy. Love the outdoors and staying active- skiing, hiking, travel, and time with family and friends. Even though landlocked here in CO, I love seaside living- paddle-boarding, snorkeling, or volunteering in sea turtle conservation.

Choosing a therapist, especially if it's a first time, it’s important to feel heard, accepted, and genuinely valued. It truly makes a difference about treatment success!

My style is collaborative, I don't have the answers- we find the answers together. I specialize in medical and behavioral health integration, supporting individuals managing medical conditions alongside behavioral health needs.

I also help clients through life-stage adjustments, college/career paths, fertility and maternal health, parenting, career change, and chronic health conditions and grief.

In addition to therapy, I offer professional mentoring, and licensee supervision. I integrate evidence-based approaches which work best for the client and their needs.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can reconnect with your strengths.move confidently toward the life you want and increase your self-awareness/acceptance.

It takes strength to ask for help and willingness to be vulnerable. I offer a judgment-free zone and time to reflect.

I don't have the answers or tell you what to do- that's not how therapy works. The client works on themselves and the outcome is determined on their willingness and readiness to do the work.

It's a process- at times, you may feel better, the same or in some cases you may become more upset. You're not alone and together we work through the feelings and understand their source. There may be homework assignments, reading or other specific activities which will be helpful for growth and awareness. Therapy is investing in you which is always the best investment.
