Dr. Kristopher Burnett

Therapist

Sometimes life doesn’t feel like something you’re managing—it feels like something you’re reacting to.

Emotions can feel intense or unpredictable. Stress builds quickly. Relationships become harder to navigate. You may find yourself shutting down, lashing out, overthinking, or feeling overwhelmed by things that don’t seem to affect others in the same way.

I’m Kristopher, a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, relationship challenges, family conflict, and emotional regulation difficulties. My work focuses on helping people understand what’s happening beneath their reactions so they can begin to feel more in control of themselves and their relationships.

Many of the people I work with are not “broken”—they’re overwhelmed, under-supported, or carrying emotional patterns that were never given space to be understood or healed.

Dr. Amanda Simms

Therapist

Virtual • Mississippi


I’m Amanda, and I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a place where they can show up exactly as they are. I bring warmth, authenticity, and even a bit of humor into the room when it feels right. I want you to feel genuinely seen—not judged—and supported in whatever you’re working through.

I’ve been in the counseling field for over 15 years and hold a PhD in Counselor Education from the University of Tennessee. My experience ranges from private practice and telehealth to correctional mental health, hospitals, and leadership roles in community programs. A. Simms Resume copy

I work with adults experiencing mood challenges, anxiety, identity concerns, life transitions, and LGBTQIA+ experiences, as well as individuals who are justice-involved or adjusting to major life changes. My approach integrates CBT, ACT, and Reality Therapy, giving us room to explore both deeper patterns and practical skills.

Clients describe me as encouraging, steady, and real—someone who helps them feel grounded and capable while taking meaningful steps toward a more balanced and authentic life.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hattiesburg

Finding the right therapist in Hattiesburg starts with identifying what you want to focus on. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who has experience with your specific needs can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types in Mississippi include Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), and psychologists — each with distinct training, though all are qualified to provide talk therapy.

Hattiesburg is home to a range of mental health providers, from solo practitioners near the USM campus to larger practices in the Downtown and Oak Grove areas. Many offer both in-person and virtual sessions, giving you flexibility to choose what fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, specialties, and what a session with them looks like — so you can feel more confident about your choice.

Therapy in Hattiesburg can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your cost per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
