Currently I work full time as a professor in Family Studies and Human Development, because I love studying what makes people tick, including the vital role relationships play in our formation and happiness. I've been a practicing Marriage and Family Therapist for over 17 years.

I'm a licensed therapist and social worker who supports teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, and neurodivergence.

I'm crisis-trained, LGBTQIA-affirming, and bring both warmth and practicality to my work. I draw from DBT, CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to help my clients feel grounded, empowered, and in charge of their own story.

I earned my degrees at the University of Utah and completed my clinical training at Huntsman Mental Health Institute and the University of Utah Hospital, where I worked with clients working through complex physical and mental health conditions. I have particular experience working with depression, anxiety, Autism and ADHD, behavioral concerns, chronic mental health conditions, and clients facing self-harm or suicidal thoughts.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist I have been working with individuals, couples and families for over 20 years. I've observed that people have what it takes to find the peace and happiness they are looking for. I am confident that, together, we can find the solutions that will work for you.

Hi, I'm Shelley Sims, LMFT.

I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, understood, and accepted. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.

I work with adults, teens, and couples who are navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, ADHD, OCD, burnout, life transitions, and low self-worth. Many of my clients have spent years putting everyone else first and are ready to reconnect with themselves, set healthier boundaries, and build lives that feel more peaceful and fulfilling.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and somatic, nervous system-informed techniques. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, process painful experiences, and develop practical skills that create lasting change.

Whether you're healing from childhood wounds, working through relationship struggles, managing overwhelming emotions, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to do it alone. I believe growth is possible at any stage of life, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you rediscover your strengths and move toward the life you want.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out. If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd love to help.

I’ve spent over 22 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, helping people just like you navigate life’s biggest challenges. I'm licensed in Texas, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada.

My personal belief is therapy is a space for growth, discovery, and healing. It’s a brave step, and I’m here to guide you.

Maybe you're tired of feeling anxious or depressed. Maybe you're working through a difficult loss or a past trauma. Whatever brings you here, we'll work together to find a path that feels right for you.

You will set the pace and the agenda of our sessions. One week we may work on day to day obstacles. The next week, we may work on past issues and traumas. It's YOUR TIME!

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that understanding your mental health is key to stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so I am glad you are here. I’ve been practicing for several years, and know truly enjoy working with individuals seeking insight, change, and growth.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the weight of trauma, relationship fractures, or the pressure to constantly “get it right,” I want to provide a safe place to move towards being unstuck. I work with adults, couples, and families who are tired of performing and ready to heal. My space is a sanctuary from judgment, where you can bring your full, authentic self.

What often stands out to clients about my work is the emphasis on safety, validation, and shared humanity. You will have the space to share your concerns at your own pace, without fear of judgment or pressure to perform. Above all, our work together is a collaborative process in which your goals and voice guide the way.
