I am here to walk this path with you.


I help you explore the possibilities of change in an open minded, compassionate, supportive and unconditionally accepting environment. Change can be scary and difficult. Throughout the therapeutic process, you will have an opportunity to access inner strengths, explore past experiences, confront fears, gain insight with a sense of mindfulness and curiosity. No matter where you are in your journey, whether it is to optimize emotional and/or physical wellbeing or maintain it, integrative therapy can help.


I am a Mental Health professional and a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine provider who is trained in a number of modalities and draw from Family Systems, Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Nutritional Psychiatry. I has over 12 years of experience helping clients improve emotional wellness and mental health concerns through psychotherapy, coaching, latest science in real food nutrition and other alternative strategies.


I approach mental health and well-being in an action-oriented way and from a holistic, whole-body perspective, with an underlying view that mind, body and spirit are interconnected. I work with individuals, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, work-life balance, and finding inner peace.


I am committed to a lifestyle that she teaches her clients which incorporates mindfulness, emotional health, whole food eating, and fulfilling activities. I am excited to help you build confidence in creating a nourishing lifestyle that considers mind/body balance, self-care, hopefulness and excitement.

Therapist

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.

I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.

I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.

Quayla Simms

Quayla Simms

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Hi, I'm Quayla! I’m a licensed counselor based in Ohio, and I help adults who are ready to do meaningful work around healing, growth, and connection. My clinical style is warm, direct, and grounded in mutual respect. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy—every client brings a unique story, and I’m here to help you make sense of yours in a way that feels empowering, not overwhelming. I work with people navigating the in-between spaces of life: the moments where things feel uncertain, stuck, or disconnected. That might look like struggling in a relationship, feeling the emotional weight of caregiving or parenting, sitting with unresolved family dynamics, or just trying to hold everything together while quietly burning out. Many of my clients are high-functioning and insightful, but still find themselves repeating old patterns or questioning their sense of self. I believe therapy should be both practical and transformative. I integrate evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT with deeper relational and existential work to help clients reconnect with themselves and move forward with intention. Whether we’re exploring identity, navigating grief, or rebuilding emotional safety in relationships, I bring presence, perspective, and a sense of partnership into the room.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Columbus

Finding postpartum therapists in Columbus starts with looking for care that fits the concerns you want to address. Postpartum support can include help with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, prenatal and postpartum care, or counseling for postpartum depression. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.

Columbus has many therapy options, and the number of choices can make it harder to narrow your search. For new parents, practical details matter: appointment times, virtual availability, office location, and whether a therapist is accepting new patients. Virtual sessions can be especially useful when schedules change, infant care is a factor, or in-person appointments add extra travel time. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum depression therapy before you book.

Therapy in Columbus can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists, review estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront based on your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
