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.

(Appt hours: Monday & Friday 9-1p and Wednesday 9-3p)Hi, I’m Jessica. I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My role is to create a space where you can exhale, take off the mask, and begin the journey toward wholeness and peace.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Right Mentality Mental Health and Wellness, I have dedicated my work to helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions with honesty, compassion, and cultural awareness.

I work with a special focus on supporting Black and Brown communities. My approach is collaborative, conversational, and grounded in real life. You can expect open dialogue, practical tools, and a therapist who meets you with both empathy and accountability.

Therapy with me is not about perfection. It is about progress, healing, and learning to show up for yourself in ways that honor your truth and your growth.
